	Baker Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1991 referendum plan was however stalled due to disagreements on voter eligibility (Morocco demanding inclusion of its settlers, brought into the territory to out-number the Saharawi indigenous population), and by the late nineties Morocco was openly declaring the referendum a "dead option"; the cease-fire held due to foreign pressures on the Polisario.
		The Baker plan aims at instituting Saharan self-rule in a "Western Sahara Authority" for a period of five years, whereafter the referendum is to be held, with Moroccan settlers controversially allowed the vote.
		Baker I and II The first version of the plan, called Baker I or the Framework Agreement, was delivered by UN special envoy James Baker in 2000, but both parties refused to accept it.

		Baker, however, admits his proposal for federally-backed buy-outs of flooded homes in the devastated region is not the end-all answer.
		Baker's plan to create the Louisiana Recovery Corporation, which would oversee an extensive rebuilding of housing in the hurricane-stricken areas, was a reprieve from disorder in the months following Katrina and Rita.
		Baker says he is flattered by those who have thrown his name in the ring, but he is more interested in his prospects for becoming the next chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services, a powerful position that could play out favorably for Louisiana.

	Middle East Report Online: Behind the Baker Plan for Western Sahara, by Toby Shelley
		Baker has been the personal envoy of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan since 1997, charged with making progress in the 1991 Settlement Plan for the Western Sahara even after Annan had damned it as a "zero-sum game," while also pursuing alternatives.
		This phrase was interpreted to mean that the UN would push forward with Baker's plan despite the reservations of the Sahrawis and, more to the point, Morocco, which has occupied Western Sahara since the territory was vacated by Spain in 1975.
		In 2002, Algeria's critique of Baker's proposals was excoriating.

	WESTERN SAHARA - SAHARA OCCIDENTAL
		The chief objection of the Frente POLISARIO to the peace plan seems to be that it is not the settlement plan.
		The present peace plan for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara is an agreement by and between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Frente POLISARIO (which are the interested parties), joined by the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (which are the neighbouring countries) and the United Nations.
		During the period between the effective date of the plan and the implementation of the results of the referendum on final status, governmental authority shall be exercised in Western Sahara in accordance with part III of the plan.

	Douglas Kellner, The Persian Gulf TV War, Boulder: Westview Press, 1992
		The Baker plan was announced by the Reagan Administration to the IMF in October 1985, a "non-recognition" of the crisis, providing a "non-solution."
		In effect, the Baker plan amounted to a taxpayer bailout of the banks without consulting the taxpayers of the debtor countries; responses were universally negative.
		The Baker plan also ignores dozens of smaller countries without any ability to pay their debts, which seem small in comparison to the rest, but do not take into account the small GNP's of these countries.

		Baker's battle was a "David and Goliath" fight against the old Louisiana system of approving highway projects purely on the basis of political stroke instead of regional or statewide impact and need.
		Baker's plan to create the Louisiana Recovery Corporation, which would oversee the extensive rebuilding of homes in hurricane-stricken areas, was chicken soup for Louisiana's soul in the months following Katrina and Rita.
		Baker is also concerned that the state's proposal is not a rebuilding plan at all, because the federal money dedicated to it would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Hazardous Mitigation Program.

	Settlement Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Settlement Plan was an agreement between the Polisario Front and Morocco on the organization of a referendum, which would constitute an expression of self-determination for the Sahrawi people of the non-decolonized territory of Western Sahara, possibly leading to full independence.
		In 1997, the UN's Houston Agreement attempted to clear the path for the referendum to be held in 1998.
		Despite initial optimism, the 2003 Baker Plan has not progressed, due to Morocco's rejection of said plan.

		Baker’s plan to create the Louisiana Recovery Corp., which would oversee an extensive rebuilding of housing in the hurricane-stricken areas, was a lifeline for Louisiana evacuees and survivors in the months following Katrina and Rita.
		Baker issued a diplomatic response to the announcement the same day and, as of last week, still had high hopes for his plan, which recently received a favorable hearing in the Senate.
		Baker is also concerned that the state’s proposal is not a rebuilding plan at all, since the federal money dedicated to it would be exercised under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hazardous Mitigation Program, which pulls properties out of play and turns them into green spaces or other non-habitable plots.

	Debt Relief
		Baker may have good reason to feel that his proposal is threatened by rival reform proposals.
		This plan, which is one of the most comprehensive debt relief proposals ever offered in Congress, would create an international debt management authority set up by the Secretary of the Treasury to reduce banks' exposure to troubled loans and to foster growth in the stagnant debtor nation's economies.
		Although the two houses may not be able to settle their differences without a watered-down bill, there is growing support for the idea of a multilateral organization to come in and do what the banks and the governments of both the creditor and debtor nations have been unable or unwilling to do.

		At the heart of the proposed plan is creation of a conference and retreat center at Fort Baker, which will include programs furthering the NPS mission to conserve natural and historic resources and provide for their public enjoyment.
		As part of this planning effort, conference and retreat centers throughout the state and country were surveyed and valuable information was collected regarding compatibility with park settings and operating requirements.
		The proposed plan recommends eliminating the 700-car parking area proposed in the 1980 park plan as it is incompatible with current planning goals.

	GOGA - Fort Baker Proposed Plan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A multi-tiered fort similar to the one at Fort Point was initially planned here, but the demonstrated ineffectiveness of such brickworks during the Civil War, and the evident expense of building such a structure at the base of towering cliffs, finally dissuaded the Army from pursuing its plans.
		Twenty-one duplexes known as the Capehart housing were built in 1959; and Fort Baker was the administrative headquarters of the 91st (Reserve) Infantry Division and various antiaircraft missile units under the 6th Regional Army Air Defense Command for much of the Cold War era.
		The main planning challenge was to find a reuse approach that would be compatible with the park and its mission as well as generate resources to repair the buildings and ensure the long term care of the buildings and site.

	Deserting the Baker plan
		Baker eventually came up with a "compromise" plan that would grant the vote to enough Moroccans to give them a majority if they stuck together and suggested a period of autonomy within Morocco followed by a vote to decide whether the region would go its own way.
		To everyone's surprise, the Sahrawi accepted the "Baker Plan." They know they can't survive in the camps forever and suspect that more than a few of the Moroccans who will vote might welcome the chance to escape the tender mercies of their king.
		The Moroccans immediately rejected the plan announcing that they will never accept any scheme that includes the possible loss of the territory they have grabbed.

		The master plan for how communities are to be rebuilt will be developed through the guidance of state and local officials and the residents themselves, not by the LRC.
		At present, no other recovery plan exists for channeling the tremendous amount of investment that will be needed to address the issues of destroyed property and community rebuilding.
		Because time is of the essence, Congressman Baker plans to begin moving the bill through the legislative process quickly with action in the House Financial Services Committee, of which he is a senior member and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises.

		By the end of his two-day stay, Baker — who as secretary of state worked closely with Shevardnadze, a former Soviet foreign minister, in handling the geopolitical challenges arising from Communism’s collapse in the early 1990s — secured support for the plan from major political leaders, including the Georgian president.

		In connection with the plan, all political parties and movements in Georgia are to pledge to refrain from violent tactics before, during and after the parliamentary vote.

		Mr Baker's plan surprisingly got Polisario's approval earlier this month, although the movement had protested the UN's inclusion of Moroccan voters to the referendum.
