	Darfur Documents Confirm Government Policy of Militia Support (Human Rights Watch, 20-7-2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		With government aerial support, arms, communications, and other backing, and often alongside government troops, the Janjaweed militias have been a key component in the government’s military campaign in Darfur; a campaign that has resulted in the murder, rape and forced displacement of thousands of civilians.
		Despite the government’s denials, evidence from official documents proves that the Janjaweed are an integral part of the government’s military force and counter-insurgency strategy in Darfur, a force and a strategy that have been responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
		The directives issued by government officials illustrate the extent to which the government-backed militias are used as auxiliaries in the military campaign and a fundamental tool and instrument of government policy and military strategy.

	Can Government Save the Family? -- Policy Review -- Sep.-Oct. 96 -- Heritage
		Government policies should in no way discourage the formation and preservation of families, nor add momentum to the powerful centrifugal forces breaking our families apart.
		William A. Galston is a professor at the School of Public Affairs at the University of Maryland at College Park, the director of the Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy, and a former deputy assistant to President Clinton for domestic policy.
		The government could and should immediately repeal the marriage penalty, increase the tax exemption for children and index it for inflation, and repeal regulations prohibiting employers from paying "family wages." As a long-term solution, I support a modified flat tax that maintains the deductions for home mortgages and charitable giving.

	Modern History Sourcebook: British Government Statement: Policy In Burma, May 1945
		It is accordingly necessary, so long as the government of the country cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the 1935 Act, that recourse should continue to be had to the provisions of Section 139, under which the administration is carried on by the Governor in direct responsibility to His Majesty's Government.
		Government in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 1935 having thus been restored, as soon as the conditions in the country permit, a second phase in constitutional development will begin, during which the ground will be prepared for the attainment of full self-government.
		A simultaneous process would be discussion of the content of the agreements to be made with His Majesty's Government on matters on which the latter would have continuing obligations after the establishment of full self-government in Burma.

	US Government Information Policy
		As dictated by our general principles, the government should not be involved in the creation of information unless (a) the information generates positive externalities, (b) private production of the information would occur under monopolized conditions, or (c) the government is likely to be especially efficient at producing the information in question.
		Since the costs of government activities are typically covered by taxes on private activities, a dollar raised by taxation is more costly (from a social viewpoint) than a dollar spent by a private firm, since the dollars raised by taxation tend to discourage other economic activities.
		Government policy would be better oriented towards encouraging competition in information provision via the private sector rather than replacing private sector activity through its own actions.

	The UK Government Encryption Policy
		The Government rejected this policy earlier this year because it would have imposed unfair burdens on law abiding citizens but it would have been able for criminals to evade.
		The British government also argued in the policy paper that under what it calls a "back door key" approach, law enforcement agencies must be allowed fast access to encrypted messages in order to combat the increasingly sophisticated communications methods used by criminal organizations and terrorists, the U.K. official said.
		The Recommendation which came before the governing body of the OECD, the Council, is a non-binding agreement that identifies the basic issues that countries should consider in drawing up cryptography policies at the national and international level.

		Under current policy, violation of the trade embargo law with respect to accepting paper for publication can result in a fine of up to $50,000 per case, and imprisonment for up to 10 years for a US publisher.
		Whereas one might argue for exerting political and economic pressure and persuasion on another government to ensure it conforms to our principles of democracy, freedom, free trade, and foreign policy objectives, it is, nonetheless, hypocritical and thus disturbing to curtail the free flow of scientific exchange simultaneously.
		Our respected US Government Officials in the Executive and Legislative Branches in particular, are to exhibit their bold progressive leadership on the matter.
