3. Fwd: IJC to investigate water use, diversion and
removal policies
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 23:16:33 EST

Received: from superior.great-lakes.net
Wed, 10 Feb 1999 13:40:23 -0500 (EST)
Forwarded from the Great Lakes Information Network, respond to the IJC
e-mail
addresses below:
MEDIA RELEASE
For Release: February 10, 1999
IJC to investigate water use, diversion and removal policies
The United States and Canadian federal governments today asked the
International Joint Commission (IJC) to examine and report on the use,
diversion and removal of waters along the common border. The governments
noted that Aboundary water resources continue to be the subject of
ever-increasing demands in the light of expanding populations@ and
that
Aproposals to use, divert and remove greater amounts of such waters
can
be expected.@
The request from governments comes in the wake of proposals to export
water overseas from Canada and litigation involving the export of water
from Canada to the United States. Both governments are concerned that
existing management principles and conservation measures may be
inadequate to ensure future sustainable use of shared waters.
The need to review the management and use of transboundary water
resources was raised by the IJC in a 1997 report entitled The IJC and
the 21st Century. The IJC said such a review is needed to ensure that
water and related issues are managed a rational, consistent and
anticipatory way to prevent transboundary disputes.
"The importance of binational cooperation in addressing these critical
issues cannot be overstated," said Leonard Legault, Chairman of the
IJC's Canadian Section in response to today's request from the two
governments.
"In conducting this investigation, the IJC will consult with federal,
provincial and state governments, international and regional
organizations, and other relevant sources inside and outside of
government," said Thomas Baldini, chair of the IJC's U.S. Section.
The request from the governments asks the IJC to examine, report upon
and provide recommendations on the following matters which may have
effects on levels and flows of water within transboundary basins and
shared aquifers:
1. Existing and potential consumptive
uses of water;
2. Existing and potential diversions of
water in and out of the
transboundary basins, including withdrawals of water for export;
3. The cumulative effects of existing
and potential diversions and
removals of water, including removals in bulk for export;
4. The current laws and policies as may
affect the sustainability
of the water resources in boundary and transboundary basins.
The governments have asked the IJC to build on its experience, notably
its study of Great Lakes diversions and consumptive uses that concluded
in 1985, and to submit interim recommendations for the protection of
Great Lakes waters within six months. A final report making
recommendations on the broader issue of U.S.-Canada shared waters is
requested within six months of the interim recommendations.
As it addresses these matters, the IJC will undertake broad
consultations with all interested parties. As a first priority, the
International Joint Commission will hold a series of eight public
hearings in March at the locations below:
Chicago, Toronto, Montréal, Cleveland, Rochester (NY), Windsor,
Sault
Ste. Marie (ON) & Duluth.
Dates will be announced in local media and on the IJC Web Site
(www.ijc.org). The Commission also intends to hold workshops in the
eastern and western border regions of the continent to obtain advice
on
the questions posed by governments, particularly as they might apply
to
the broader issue of Canada-U.S. shared waters outside the Great Lakes
basin.
In addition to the public hearings, the IJC invites all interested
parties to submit written comment on this investigation to the addresses
below:

OPEN INVITATION FOR Going Home camp: 26 March 1999 Lake
Eyre is calling Arabunna People Home
Arabunna People are calling on all other Black nations and other
supporters to join in. Arabunna are Going Home for our
responsibilities and obligations to stop the biggest threat to our
Country - Western Mining's development of the Roxby Downs
uranium mine at Olympic Dam andthe threat of the radioactive
waste dumping by Primary Industries and Energy.
Thismovement is about peace. Lake Eyre is callingpeople to make
peace with the People and the Old Country
Arabunna People are fighting for our land and our survival we've had
enough we are going home we are inviting others to come and
participate. The Old Lake is calling us back. It is hurting It is
wanting
The time is rightto move. We have decided on the 26 March 1999
Come down. You are invited to attend this event on the shores of
Lake Eyre
Bring your swag, tucker on the Oodnadatta track on the shores of
Lake Eyre Signs will be erected.
Stop the use of uranium in wars stop the wars and make peace.
The time is come. This is the start.
Lake Eyre, with its waterways and Mound Springs and all the
animals and plants that belong, is a very very special place. It
catches all the ancient inlandrivers and creeks - many rivers from
other Countries. The Old Lake calms them down like nursing a little
baby.
Water is life. Water is more preciousthan gold. The Old Lake
wasn't designed and constructed and created for the purposes that
it is now being used for It's hurting and it's calling.. .
If you feel strong in spirit to save the Old Lake then be there. We
invite you to come with your strong spirit.
Old Lake Eyre is talking Old Lake Eyre is calling us Arabunna:
"Come Home for Life. Begin a new and sweeter way - being free.
Ease the pain. Become one again." The Old Lake has set this up
from the start for this purpose to wake the people up to live for Life.
The Old Lake has laid the trap set the bait wanted them to come:
"Come and try me! You've tried the rest of the world, I'm waiting for
you... Keep taking the water Come on Western Mining Keep
sucking, man Keep coming in and trying to break me and see what
happens. They don't know me. They are trying to break me by
pulling my arms apart by pulling my legs apart? Can you rip your
baby apart? Can you rip your grandmother apart? Can you pull your
grandfather apart? They don't know me. Why try and inflict the pain
on me and my People? Because I have the recipe for Life " That's
why the Old Lake set up the bait to draw the people to wake
them up The time has come to come and listen to make peace
not war.
The Old Lake is lonely sitting down himself calling for the kids and
families: "No people, no kids. They've gone. Took 'em away."
The Old Lake is too old too old to be mucked around with. Too
old.
We are appealing to all different mobs to share andjoin our Coming
Home - build a humpy, whittle a stick, make a spear, put one upto
symbolise your own mob. Participate in this spiritual journey Old
Lake Eyre is talking, calling
11 years ago Old Lake knew this mob were coming 115 years
ago they came to Lake Eyre. The Old Lake made these fellas
come to work out the right way from thewrong way of living since
the interference. This is why this change is needed - for the healing
and the blessing. Say Sorry to the Old Country to the Old Lake.
Bless it. Love it and keep on saying: Sorry and Sorry and Sorry
and Sorry until it's done and our sovereignty is repected
Leave the lakes free Leave the rivers free Let the waters run free
Leave the Mound Springs free Leave the airways fresh Let the
babies and the people live free Live Life.
We are calling on all governments local, State and Federal levels to
fully support us in this event and to join in and be part of this
peaceful movement to stop this unnatural destruction. Nobody and
no Country deserves this harsh treatment. We deserve the good
way, the peace way.
The message simply is: Leave Old Lake Eyre and the waterways
alone. No more destruction. That's the message: Leave it! The
Country is too old to be mucked around.

5. *Corporate* Perjury and Obstruction of Justice
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 14:06:15 -0500
Sender: corp-focus@essential.org
From: Robert Weissman <rob@essential.org>
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
Today we hear the case of corporate perjury, corporate fraud and corporate
obstruction of justice.
Members of the Senate, let us turn to exhibit one: the 1994 transcripts
of
tobacco industry executives' testimony before a House of Representatives
committee.
Having raised their right hands and swore to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, so help them God, each then testified
under oath that nicotine was not addictive. That was a blatant lie
under
oath -- albeit one less serious than the industry's decades-long
conspiracy to lie to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other
federal and state agencies about cigarettes' health effects and
addictiveness. These are lies with severe consequences: hundreds of
thousands die from smoking-related disease every year.
But lying is not limited to the pariah tobacco industry. Please turn
to
exhibit two: the judge's decision in the case United States v. Royal
Caribbean Cruise Lines. In September 1998, Royal Caribbean pled guilty
to
felony crimes for dumping oil in the Atlantic Ocean and then lying
to the
Coast Guard about it.
Members of the Senate, let us now turn to count two: corporate fraud.
Please consult the next exhibit, Black's Law Dictionary.
Turn to page 788, where you will find the legal definition of the word
"fraud" -- an intentional perversion of the truth for the purpose of
inducing another to part with some valuable thing.
In other words, theft through lying.
Members of the Senate, because the federal government does not track
corporate fraud the way it tracks petty theft, we are left to the judgment
of experts to estimate what this harmful and often criminal lying and
steal costs the American people.
The estimates are startling. Harvard University's Malcolm Sparrow
estimates that health care fraud alone cost the nation anywhere from
$100
billion to $400 billion a year -- 10 to 40 percent of the $1 trillion
a
year we spend on health care. Most of this is corporate fraud --
corporations ripping off the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The savings and loan scandal, what former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh
called "the biggest white-collar swindle in history," cost the nation
anywhere from $300 billion to $500 billion.
Then you have an array of lesser frauds that amount in total to real
money. Auto repair fraud: $40 billion a year. Securities fraud --
$15
billion a year. And on down the list.
Not a day goes by without a major fraud being reported in the mainstream
media, with $100 million frauds coming around once a month or so.
Last month, for example, Great American Life Insurance Co. paid $115
million to elderly citizens it allegedly deceived into buying high-priced
investments.
In June 1998, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois pled guilty to eight
felony counts and paid $144 million to the federal government after
admitting it concealed evidence of poor performance and lied to auditors
in processing Medicare claims for the federal government. Just last
week,
the company paid $29.1 million Evelyn Knoob of Carterville, Illinois.
Knoob blew the whistle on the company.
Corporate fraud costs the nation hundreds of billions. Compare that
to
street crime and burglary, which, according to the FBI, costs the nation
$3.8 billion a year.
Finally, we turn to count three, obstruction of justice. Please
incorporate by reference the earlier evidence of Big Tobacco's cover-ups
and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois and Royal Caribbean's concerted
efforts to thwart law enforcement.
Then please direct your attention to our final exhibit, a series published
last year in the Louisville Courier-Journal that documented coal mine
operators routinely submitting coal dust samples to the Mine Safety
and
Health Administration which were impossibly clean. The obvious inference
is that coal companies are regularly cheating on their coal dust tests,
and in the process exposing miners to deadly and black lung-inducing
levels of coal dust.. The inference was substantiated by coal mine
supervisors' admission to the Louisville Courier-Journal of regular
cheating on the tests designed to protect miners' safety.
Senators, corporate perjury, fraud and obstruction of justice are
undermining efforts to protect health, safety and our environment,
and
eating away at the foundations of our economy.
We seek today not a conviction, but a redirection of national policy
to
put an end to the scourge of corporate fraud and obstruction. We call
on
you to enact legislation to mandate the collection of corporate crime
data. We ask that you work with your colleagues in the House to boost
the
budget of federal enforcement agencies. We call for legislation that
gives
citizen standing to enforce critical health, safety, environmental
and
financial laws, and we demand that you cease efforts to undermine the
civil justice system, our country's strongest safeguard against corporate
fraud. We call for serious penalties for corporate criminals, including
heavy fines, innovative probation plans, loss of the right to bid for
government contracts and charter revocation for recidivist corporations.
Finally, we insist that you clean up the campaign finance system and
the
attendant political corruption which enables corporate criminals to
bribe
politicians to lessen regulatory and legal restraints on corporate
misbehavior, and to undermine the federal cops on the corporate crime
beat.
