Stevenson’s army, April 7

– Next week, for the first time since 2019, the two intelligence committees will hold open hearings with the leading IC officials for worldwide threat briefings.
No leaks from the Biden White House, WaPo says.
-No change for now on land mine policy.
– Russia talks to India about arms.
-An anti-waste group criticizes DOD’s unfunded priorities lists.
[Background: SecDef Gates tried to block them.]
– Academic study of Jan 6 rioters finds surprises.

Late additions:

Likely special envoy on Nord Stream 2.
While Xi appeals to Merkel.
And AP says US worries about Taiwan.
And USN does a FONOP.

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).
