DoS Meetings of Interest

SECRETARY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

5:30 p.m. Secretary Clinton and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius hold refugee consultations with Members of the Senate, on Capitol Hill.

Does this mean more refugees will be brought to the US on our dime? Don't get me wrong - refugees need help, but our own social fabric can't bear any more folks on the welfare rolls, what with 10% unemployment here already, especially not of those who can't speak English.

USAID ADMINISTRATOR RAJIV SHAH
9:30 a.m. Administrator Shah delivers keynote remarks with Congresswoman Nita Lowey at the “All Children Reading: An International Literacy Day Event,” at USAID.

One hopes this will get kids in the US to start reading as well. Of course it's the people who read while they're in school but never open a book once they get out of high school that is a major concern.

US FOR ECONOMIC, ENERGY AND AGRICULTURAL AFFAIRS ROBERT HORMATS
2:00 p.m. Under Secretary Hormats meets with Matt Blunt, President of the American Automotive Policy Council (AAPC), at the Department of State.

American Automotive Policy Council?

AS FOR ARMS CONTROL, VERIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE ROSE GOTTEMOELLER3:15 p.m. Assistant Secretary Gottemoeller delivers remarks at an event commemorating “Two Decades Without Nuclear Weapons Testing” organized by Global Green USA.

Just because no one's been "testing" weapons doesn't mean that no one's been making them, eh?
