Toward "thorough, accurate, and reliable" : a History of the Foreign relations of the United States series / by McAllister, William B.,1958-author.; Botts, Joshua,author.; Cozzens, Peter,1957-author.(CARDINAL)197249; Marrs, Aaron W.,1976-author.(CARDINAL)304301; United States.Department of State.Office of the Historian,issuing body.(CARDINAL)282219;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-374)."Toward "Thorough, Accurate, and Reliable" explores the evolution of the Foreign Relations of the United States documentary history series from its antecedents in the early republic through the early 21st century implementation of its current mandate, the 1991 Foreign Relations statute. This book traces how policymakers and an expanding array of stakeholders translated values like "security," "legitimacy," and "transparency" into practice as they debated how to balance the government's obligation to protect sensitive information with its commitment to openness. Determining the "people's right to know" has fueled lively discussion for over two centuries, and this work provides important, historically informed perspectives valuable to policymakers and engaged citizens as that conversation continues"--Publisher's website.

Automated speed enforcement pilot project for the Capital Beltway : feasibility of photo-radar / by Lynn, Cheryl.(CARDINAL)311173; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 75-82).Final report.Because of increasing difficulties in enforcing posted speed limits on the Capital Beltway around Washington, D.C., local officials proposed that experiments be conducted with photo-radar to determine if that method of automated speed enforcement (widely used in Europe for about 30 years and very recently employed in the western United States) could help reduce average speed and speed variance. A project task force led by the Virginia Department of State Police, with assistance from the Maryland Department of State Police and the Virginia and Maryland Departments of Transportation and with technical assistance from the Virginia Transportation Research Council, conducted site visits to cities in Europe and the United States where photo-radar is being used. The task force also invited six manufacturers of photo-radar equipment to staff and demonstrate their equipment. Five of the manufacturers conducted a 2-week series of tests on sections of interstate highways with varying volumes of traffic and different traffic characteristics. The tests, which were conducted from June through September 1990, were designed to provide the evaluators with data on the accuracy, reliability; and efficiency of each unit (in terms of the number of speeding cases that could potentially be generated by the use of photo-radar on the Beltway) and help the study team determine i photo-radar could be successfully deployed on the Capital Beltway as an enforcement tool. In addition, the project included an analysis of legal and constitutional issues associated with photo-radar use as well as an evaluation of public sentiment concerning the use of photo-radar on the Capital Beltway. The evaluators concluded that photo-radar use was feasible on high-speed, high-volume roads such as the Capital Beltway and, therefore, recommended efforts to pass state enabling statutes and test further the efficacy of photo-radar in actual traffic enforcement conditions. Although the results of the study indicate that it is feasible to use photo-radar on high-speed multilane roadways, further study is required to determine its effect on travel speed and safety. There are also important operational issues that must be considered when using this device. Some items of consideration are identification and selection of operational sites and times to deal with identified traffic safety and enforcement problems; provision of equipment-specific training programs for police officers to ensure the equipment is properly operated; provision for the availability of properly trained technical support personnel to ensure the continuing accuracy of the equipment; setting of speed thresholds that are realistically determined and target the excessive speeder; number of lanes on the roadway; visual obstructions on the roadway; and customizing of photo-radar applications to fit the highway safety problem area.Sponsored by Virginia Department of Transportation, University of Virginia, [and] Virginia Dept. of State Police, under a grant awarded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, contract no.
