Greetings from Steve Clemons
and
welcome to my website. During the days, I serve as Executive Vice President
of the New America Foundation and, in my spare time, serve as Director of the Japan
Policy Research Institute. I’ve also been encouraged by my great
friend, Joshua
Micah Marshall of talkingpointsmemo.com to start my own blog. So, connected here you will find thewashingtonnote.com, where I more
regularly comment on public policy debates that deserve attention. I hope you enjoy the articles and other
items posted here. The most recent
pieces I have published deal with the politics of offshoring
as well as a more enlightened policy of returning visa fees to developing
country applicants if we refuse them entry to the United States. The
Department of State has not published visa application and rejection rate
statistics since 2001, so I have published the FY1999-FY2003 data here (click here). The interest in these rates has been
enormous. Check out this good UPI article by Thom Rose on the subject. Can you imagine shelling out a hundred
bucks, or more, to travel to Yes, these websites and blogging
activities are expensive – and some of you have asked if you can donate. The answer, finally, is SURE. I have posted a link below to handle
donations – and you can always purchase your Amazon books through the link
below (any books or other items) and Amazon will make a donation to the site.
All the best, STEVE CLEMONS
