Stevenson’s army, May 29

-The Lugar Center rates congressional committees on their degree of oversight. The measure is quantitative rather than qualitative, but still interesting. Notable to me is the low ratings given the foreign policy committees and the disparate rankings of the appropriations panels.
– President Trump said yesterday he would be making a major statement on China today. BOLO.
-UK might give Hong Kongers born before 1997 transfer pathway to UK citizenship.
– FT says Gazprom has won out over US sanctions on NordStream2.
-Prof. Karlin and Alice Friend of CSIS have excellent piece on how civilians should give guidance to the military.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
