R E C E N T C O M M I T T E E R E P O R T S Family Partnership program. The letter specifically endorses ACS’s initiative to allocate monies from its preventive services budget to underwrite the cost of program support from the Partnership for pregnant teens in the agency’s foster care population, and expresses hope that a collaborative effort with ACS will enable the Nurse-Family Partnership to flourish and expand in the New York metropolitan area. Financial Reporting Letter to the SEC providing comments on the proposal to develop additional guidance for management regarding its evaluation and assessment of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). The letter supports the notion of additional guidance as it would be an important part of establishing an approach to the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and it would produce disclosure that is more useful to investors. Futures and Derivatives Regulation Letter to the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) commenting on the proposed revisions of the NASAA to the Guideline for Commodity Pool Programs. The letter offers specific suggestions on how to better clarify the proposals with regard to the definition of net worth in the guidelines and the portfolio diversification. Letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission commenting on whether there are any conflicts between the criteria and relief in Advisory 18-96 and Commission Regulation 4.13 (a)(4). Electronic Filing of Part 4 Exemptions. Although most of the provisions of Advisory 18-96 have been superseded by regulation, the letter argues that there is still a benefit in retaining Advisory 18-96 in certain situations. Letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission expressing support for the proposal to amend the rules governing advertising by commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors, which would make explicit that the commission’s advertising rules are equally applicable to electronic media presentations and to traditional media. Though the letter argues that this proposed change is consistent with other initiatives to modernize the commission’s rules to reflect current technological changes that affect the futures industry, it outlines several clarifications that would make the rules more effective.

R E C E N T C O M M I T T E E R E P O R T S Health Law Letter to the Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century, expressing concern that the Commission’s forthcoming recommendations “which reportedly include possible closure, merger, consolidation and restructuring of hospitals” do not comply with Title VI of the federal civil rights law and would have dramatic and disproportionate effects on communities of color and poverty in New York City. International Commercial Disputes Report on the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. The report looks at how current U.S. and foreign law and practice would be affected by U.S. and foreign ratification of the Convention. The report identifies the respects in which the Convention would change or otherwise impact current U.S. law and practice with respect to choice-ofcourt agreements; assesses the pros and cons of such changes; and analyzes certain practical issues with respect to the implementation of the Convention. International Human Rights Letter to the Minister of Justice of Maldives expressing concern that the trial of Mohamed Nasheed, who was arrested and detained on charges of terrorism and acts against the state, has not comported with international standards as defined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. “Antiterrorism and Security Laws in India.” This comprehensive report examines India’s recent antiterrorism and other security laws, situating those laws in historical and institutional context in order to (1) analyze the human rights concerns that arise from these laws and (2) understand the ways in which British colonial-era patterns and practices have evolved and been maintained after independence. The report is based to a considerable extent on information learned during a research visit to India by several members of the Committee on International Human Rights. In conclusion, the report recommends that the Indian government maintain and build upon its recent efforts to prevent acts of terrorism and hold perpetrators accountable. The report also urges the Indian government to take steps to cooperate more fully with international institutions responsible for monitoring and implementing compliance with human rights standards. Letter to President Bush expressing concern over the arrest and imprisonment of Mikhail Trepashkin, a Russian lawyer. The letter questions whether 2 0 0 7 V O L. 6 2 , N O. 1 13
