Summary/Abstract |
Following instructions received from the U.S. Congress in the 2000 National Defense Authorization Act, the Department of Defense prepared an annual report on Chinese military power. This report contains classified and unclassified editions. Documenting Chinese military space power developments was one of the provisions in this law’s authorizing language. This article will examine how Chinese military space power documents have been described by the Department of Defense during this report’s existence through 2015 and detail how members of Congress and Congressional committee hearing witnesses reacted to these developments in Congressional hearing transcripts and in Congressional debate through Fall 2015.

Summary/Abstract |
Numerous U.S. government agencies are involved in developing and implementing
U.S. policy toward Korean Peninsula events, trends, and developments. Those
studying U.S. government policies toward this region need to pay particular
attention to the role played by U.S. Congressional committees in this policymaking.
Congressional committees are responsible for approving new legislation, revising
existing legislation, funding U.S. government programs and conducting oversight of
these programs. This work examines Congressional committee hearings and debate
during the 113th Congress (2013–2014) and reveals that multiple Congressional
committees with varying jurisdictions seek to shape U.S. government Korean
Peninsula policy and that this policymaking covers more than international relations
and international security issues.

Summary/Abstract |
The U.S. Government faces acute budgetary deficits and national debt problems in the Obama Administration's second term. These problems have been brought about by decades of unsustainable government spending affecting all federal agencies including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). An outgrowth of this fiscal profligacy is the presence of wasteful and duplicative programs within NASA that prevent this agency from achieving its space science and human spaceflight objectives. These programs occur due to mismanagement of these programs by NASA and from the creation of these programs by the U.S. Congress and congressional committees. This occurs because congressional appropriators tend to be more concerned with economically enhancing their states and districts and promoting their reelections instead of providing effectively targeted funding and oversight of their programs to ensure they meet national space policy goals and provide tangible value for taxpayers. This work will examine recent examples of wasteful and duplicative NASA programs and suggest ways to improve their utility.
