[Note: The following fragments of interviews with Vyacheslav Mikhailov concern his years of study and work in Lvov Oblast. They are part of Nikolay Mitrokhin's project on studying the everyday life and governing practices of the party officials in the Central Committee apparatus from the 1950s to the '80s. From 2006 to 2011, the project was supported by the Gerda Henkel Foundation and DFG. Other fragments of his extensive interviews with Vyacheslav Mikhailov have been published in Russian in the journal Neprikosnovennyi Zapas.]
We are speaking with Vyacheslav Mikhailov in his office where he is the head of the Department of National Relations in the Russian Academy for State Service. It is an official center for the training and retraining of the modern Russian administrative elite. Every 10 or 15 minutes, co-workers stop by with documents to sign. Colleagues stop by hoping to present him with their new monographs. Regional officials stop by to greet their former academic supervisor while they're in the capital. Finally, former colleagues from a variety of my interviewee's old workplaces stop by between appointments. He smiles with each new guest, offers a friendly handshake and sometimes claps one on the shoulder. He gives each one three minutes, instantly recalling not only their full names, but also some sort of minor detail from working together 10, 15, even 20 years ago. Shortly thereafter, with the same kindness, he persistently packs each one out of his office, diplomatically suggests getting together, and passes a hello to the spouse – all in the style of an important politician, even though he no longer occupies any high position.
My interlocutor – Vyacheslav Mikhailov – is the former minister for Nationalities Affairs of the Russian Federation, and the first and last head of the Department for Nationalities Politics of the Central Committee of the CPSU. The leading state official for interethnic relations was found useful by both Gorbachev and Yeltsin on the strength of his charismatic personal charm, terrific memory, public speaking talents, managerial skills, experience, and a long tenure as a party bureaucrat. His knowledge in the field of "inter-nationality relations," as it was called in Soviet times, played a large role in his success.
This term, "inter-nationality relations," enveloped a whole complex of questions in the Soviet Union, which in modern scholarly language could be called manifestations of ethnicity. It included issues of separatism, inter-ethnic conflict, anti-Semitism, ethnic groups within state politics, immigration, rehabilitation of ethnic groups deported to Central Asia under Stalin, and more.
The official Soviet doctrine that appeared after Stalin's regime said that the "nationalities question" in the USSR had been ultimately resolved. After the corrections of the abuses of the Stalinist period – that is, the return of some of the deported peoples from Kazakhstan to the North Caucasus, and the restoration of some sub-national territories liquidated between 1941 and 1944 – no more problems existed or ever could exist.
Within Soviet academia, this official position that was responsible for "inter-nationality" issues – in the first place, scholars from the Party Institute of Marxism-Leninism under the Central Committee of the CPSU, in the framework of the Soviet academic system, were instructed (and allowed) to work on these controversial political themes. Completely unaware of the real lives of their research subjects, and without any wish to penetrate into their complex ethnic problems, Moscow scholars had been writing, from the comfort of their offices, highly optimistic books about the successful resolution of the "nationalities question" in the USSR, as well as the West's ongoing problems with the issue.
On the other hand, many party and state officials were left to deal directly with the problems that had never actually disappeared from the everyday lives of Soviet citizens. It's true that in practice, as a rule, the term "nationalism" was used instead of "inter-nationalities relations." In addition to the 5th department of the KGB, which dealt with nationalism of an explicitly anti-Soviet persuasion, different aspects of "accepted" nationalism (or "nationalist manifestations") were usually the responsibility of officials in the regional and central apparatus of the CPSU.
Vyacheslav Mikhailov was a unique person in this field, having had Soviet scholarly experience on the topic of "inter-nationality relations" and practical work experience in the party apparatus, wherein he had to deal with the struggle against nationalism.
At the same time, he was neither a dissident nor was he fully inside the system, and he didn't belong to a liberal faction of Soviet apparatchiks. In my view, his success in both the party and the state resulted from a combination of several factors: some scholarly knowledge plus an ability to adapt to the requirements of the time, that is, to be sensitive to the mood of the high leadership of the country, as well as significant practical experience in "inter-nationality relations," which he gained during the years of his study, as well as his work in Lvov Oblast in Ukraine in the 1960s and '70s.
My four multi-hour interviews with Vyacheslav Mikhailov between 2008 and 2011 make me sure that he was a person who, consciously, intuitively or by chance, was involved in a variety of social networks. These networks have helped him build a career, develop his skills, and support him through harder times.
In 1956, Vyacheslav Mikhailov enrolled as a student in the History Department at Lvov University. Born in 1938, he was a young man from a working class family who had constantly moved between small workers' towns in the steppe between Donetsk and Stalingrad. Having quickly learned Ukrainian and having become familiar with Ukrainian writers, he was well received by the Ukrainian-speaking population in the region. Ukrainian intellectuals appreciated the willingness of a young man from Russia to accept Ukrainian culture, unlike the vast majority of other Russians during that time in Lvov. At the same time, being an ethnic Russian from Stalingrad, he was free from the suspicion of the authorities and Russian-minded colleagues regarding possible manifestations of Ukrainian nationalism. Also, Mikhailov was a member of the city chess club, and according to him, "almost became champion of the city." This success introduced him into the Jewish intelligentsia circle in Lvov – a third important component of the intellectual life of the city.
He married soon after graduating from the university. His bride was a student from his department, a member of the university chess team, and the daughter of a Stalin Prize-winning ethnic Russian professor of geology who was a close friend of the rector. Thus, Mikhailov had no reason to fear for his future career. He spent several years working as a school administrator in small towns, first as assistant principal of a school in the Virgin Lands (Tselina), then as director of a boarding school in a rural part of Lvov Oblast. This provided him with valuable life and administrative experience, and freed him from the romantic illusions of his time as a student. This also helped jumpstart his administrative career at Lvov University and later in the oblast's Party committee. In 1978, from here, he was called up by the Central Committee of the CPSU.
In his wonderful stories about everyday life as a village school director, university administrator, and party bureaucrat, Vyacheslav Mikhailov reveals, in great detail, a mechanism of party control over the population of the territories occupied by the USSR along its Western border. Going further, he also provides an opportunity for readers to visualize the complex intertwining of interests of various groups constituting Soviet society.
Nikolay Mitrokhin: How did you become interested in issues of nationalism?
Vyacheslav Mikhailov: As a student, I lived in a dormitory for five years. Since then, I've known that the perception [of Soviet authorities] of that part of the population was completely different because they essentially lived in the West. Once, I vehemently argued with a guy at the university about some passages in Marx, saying, "How do you know that?!" And he responded: "[Mikhailov imitates a Ukrainian accent] My grandfather told me." They had a few books in Ukrainian, and among them were some of Marx's articles translated into Polish or Ukrainian – articles that didn't make it into his complete collected works. We have never known these works. And these guys from the dormitory showed them to me – the ones where Marx writes that the Russians are worse than the Tatars, and how pleased he was with a Polish scholar who argued that Russians weren't Slavic at all. He writes with enthusiasm to Engels: "It turns out the Russians are not Slavic at all – they're worse than the Turks. He was a complete Russophobe, believed that the Russians were the most reactionary nation. Locals knew all of this because in Western Ukraine [in the interwar period], all these things were published. Especially when guys were drunk: "Hey Slavko, let's start by beating the Jews and then would approach you, Muskovitas" [he imitates a Ukrainian accent]. And everyone laughed, of course.
NM: Who said that?
VМ: My blind classmate. There were six blind people among us. I helped them out, read books for them, and they would treat me to cigarettes. And they were not afraid of anything. They told me everything, about [1940s Ukrainian nationalist leader in Galicia, Stepan] Bandera, and about [his political rival in Volyn] Melnik, and how everything was going. They told me real lives. My father-in-law told me interesting things. In 1952-53, he and his [geological] team were in the mountains, somewhere in Ivano-Frankovsk Oblast. There, [a group of] Banderists surrounded them and started asking what they are doing. They released them with words, "[imitating Ukrainian] Search for beloved Ukraine, perhaps, independent Ukraine, oil, coal, gold".
Therefore, it's its own layer of culture which can't be easily removed. My work [PhD dissertation] was called "The formation of the Ukrainian Nation," discussing the status of the process of integration and inter-penetration. It varied. On one hand, there was the Galician knot to untie, but then all of them found themselves in Kiev. And Kiev fell into the hands of Galicia's cultural elite. Vyacheslav Chernovol, in this regard, was a more appropriate person for us because he was not a Westerner. He was from Cherkasy Oblast. And he was never a foe of Soviet authority. He just believed that Ukraine had moved away from Lenin's national politics. But we didn't understand these things and he was put in jail. Ivan Dzyuba's famous book Internationalism and Russification came out [in samizdat] in 1962 and was completely built on the works of Lenin. It was a moderate wing.
NM: When did you become acquainted with Dzyuba's book?
VМ: I knew right away. The guys gave it to me. Nobody knew that I would go on to work in the Central Committee. We lived in the dormitory, became friends, exchanged manuscripts, read.
It was 1960, and I had an internship [in the village of Yasinka in the Staro-Samborsk region of Lvov Oblast] and at the same time was assistant principal of the school. And I studied Ukrainian very seriously there. Thanks to that, when I gave a speech at Lvov University four months later, the guys were astonished. It was a revolutionary step for me to give a speech in Ukrainian and to talk, because even in the dormitory I never said a word. They all laughed.
NM: After your return from the Virgin Lands and a conflict with the HR Director at the oblast Department of Education, you landed a position as school director in the Staro-Samborsk region. Could you talk more about that?
VM: Vladimir Isaakovich Vaksman, head of the Department of Education for the region told me, "How about I send you to a school, and if you last a year there, I'll give you the best school of all." Indeed, he gave me a village called Grozdevo. It was 18 kilometers away on foot. It's right on the border with Poland, in a forest in the damn mountains. And there in Losky and Grozdevo, they all were Banderists who had run everyone else out – it was the most zealous area. And I said: "It doesn't matter. I'll leave my wife in Lvov and work a little, what's the difference?" And I walked. Walked all the way to the school, found Vasil Firych, the head of a collective or state farm, and rented a room in his house.
NM: Why was this school considered the worst?
VM: First of all, it was so far away. There were no roads, and if you didn't catch the bus that ran once a day, you had to walk the 18 kilometers. Sometimes, in order to stay in Lvov a little longer, I took a train that arrived at 2 a.m. in Strelki, then trudged the 18 kilometers to Grozdevo. Once I was stuck for four hours at night because of two wolves sitting in front of me. I saw them sitting, and I sat. I smoked using a lighter. How could I have approached? I'll always remember that night.
NM: Could you have broken off a branch to use a club?
VM: From where? I was surrounded by mountains. And what can one do with a club, with wolves? I had walked and walked, then I waited and waited, then started advancing slowly. Then they watched me and went off in another direction.
The school was an eight-year school, so it didn't even give diplomas. The village was remote. About 15 years ago, Kirill, the future Patriarch, and I flew from Kaliningrad and talked. He said, "My most important seminary students came from your region, where you used to work," [At the time, he was rector of the Leningrad seminary], and he had written letters to the Central Committee asking them not to punish teachers whose children went on to a seminary. A year passed, and five children went to seminary. And the Komsomol and the Department of Education in the region were scolded for raising our children poorly, that their atheist propaganda was inefficient.
I lived in Grozdevo alone, so I got to know the priest and the locals. The priest had a motorcycle, so when it was muddy outside, and we needed to go [to a larger town], the priest always told us – the teachers – to walk out from the village, then he would come from a different direction, we'd get into the sidecar, and he'd drive us to the bus stop. A friendly priest. And when his baby was born, he had to schedule when the communists were to come, the non-party people, the teachers. The teachers went separately to congratulate the priest, and no one betrayed anyone. If it had been known that we teachers were present at the priest's house for the christening, it would have been a scandal throughout the whole region. But if I hadn't come, I would have been an outsider in the village. (Therefore, naturally, I participated in everything. I played checkers with him.) The teachers came and pretended that they hadn't met before. We didn't talk much there; we just came to congratulate the priest on the birth of his child. We drank, sang a little, sat for a while, and everyone went home. Later, we never spoke about being at the priest's house. Who would have turned anyone in?
I learned about the Banderists first-hand not only from the students I lived with, but from work as well. When I asked the school's security guard, "How do you feel about – (we were talking in Ukrainian) – the Soviets and the Soviet power?" He said, "The first Soviet – it was 1939 when they came – it was great. The second one was bad, in 1944." There was a biology teacher at my school – Nikolai Vasilievich Roman. His brother, a Banderist, was shot by the Germans as soon as they came. They [Banderist groups] were really fighting. There at the mountain, Magura, the battles were incredible. I exercised every morning, running up and down that mountain, and even then I saw remains from those battles. I raised the issue that they should be buried, but it was explained to me that burial wasn't allowed because it was believed it was mainly Banderists and Germans. I brought this matter to the students. I said, "Let's put up a cross and then forget about this." That stirred up a very enthusiastic reaction from the population – it stirred up sympathy.
Of course, when I worked there, I heard a lot of stories. The villages of Ploski and Grozivni were 100 percent emptied [during the mass deportation of Banderist "accomplices" in the late '40s]. When I appeared for the first time in the village school, I taught, read in the Constitution that "the flag and the seal have their own meaning." A big, strong guy stood up, Pitskovich – I remember his name – and drew a trident on the board. By the way, do you know what this trident means? The students [in the dormitory] taught me. When you see this sign, you think of the word "Volia" [воля] – I'm no artist, but you can find the letters в-о-л-я. But when he drew it, I told him: "This is the first and last time you draw this, otherwise, you'll forget your homeland and mother and everything else. Why do you provoke me?" And then I said to the entire class: "Now have you seen that, indeed, each sign has a meaning?" They answered, "Yes, we understand [imitating Ukrainian accent]." In 1958, a Pioneer camp was under inspection, and when little yellow and blue flags happened to be next to each other, the director was fired. They said that (the camp) was under Bandera's flag, the yellow-and-blue striped flag. Can you imagine that? He was fired! I was left untouched because I'm Russian – they said I didn't understand. But he was a local, so they said he did it on purpose. [But the fact was that] it was windy and the flags were pushed together. I was angry that time and told them: "Then let's fire all policemen – they have yellow and blue cars."
For a year before my baby was born, I lived at the house of a man, Firych, who was a member of a young gang. He later [as a Soviet soldier] reached Berlin, then returned a member of the Party, and became head of a collective farm and a state farm. Once, I ran into my former peer (he graduated two years earlier that I did) in Grozivo, and he was a KGB supervisor for the region. And when I gave him hug, the [villagers] were shocked. They knew he worked for the KGB, and they considered me … since I spoke Ukrainian and whatnot – they were confused. They were frightened. He came to look around because there was information that my landlord was a militant. When the Germans came, they gathered the Soviets, or those on the side of Soviet power, found a bust of Lenin made of some sort of rubber, and forced them to play soccer with it. It was written that among those Soviets was 18-year old Firych. When he started to follow all the tip-offs, no one confirmed it. Firych, who was 40 by that time, was loved by everyone, and he had eight children. Then, almost eight years passed, everybody forgot about that case, I moved to Lvov, and was in the regional party committee (обком). Once this Firych suddenly came up to me and said, "Listen, Vyacheslav, because of the priest, they're expelling from the Party and from work…What happened?" I already knew that, but he didn't know that I knew. A person who now is a KGB colonel in Moscow, whose name I won't say, told me everything and showed me the documents. In the village, it usually happened like this: you stopped by a grocery store, which is where the local guys drank. There was a system in which everyone who came bought a bottle. And the only food was raw eggs. When you were in a hurry, you had to buy a bottle, share it with everyone there, and eat two raw eggs – then you could leave. Once, Firych and the others were drinking like this in the usual way, the priest stopped by. Naturally, he was invited. Naturally, he also bought a bottle... In short, they quarreled with Firych. And Firych, instead of reconciling with him after his hangover, being chief agronomist told him: "You are an exploiter, people work for you. You have extra farmland for yourself." This was true, of course. [Parishioners came to work on his land]. And Firych counted and took part of his land away from him. It became a scandal. The villagers would always tell Firych, "Give the priest his land back." He said no. He insisted. He was crazy, that handsome Firych. And his awards, his chest full of medals… but it doesn't matter, it's all in the past. Once again, a tip was passed on. Someone came, but that time not my acquaintance – another person. And the entire village signed their names, confirming that he had been forced to play [soccer] with a bust of Lenin. And that was it, period. Before, no one had signed. [Now,] everyone did. Firych told me in Lvov: "All of this is because of the priest." I answered: "Not because of the priest, because of your stupidity." I knew this story eight years ago, and the villagers didn't betray you then. But when you behaved nastily – you see what they did? I can't do anything." Firych was expelled from Party membership and fired. The career of his son – an army captain –was ruined completely. He was fired. Eight children – it's a tragedy. And no one could have done anything. What could I have done? All the villagers signed their names. After that, he worked as an unskilled laborer.
NM: Who was the priest? What was his name?
VM: I can't remember his name. He was from Kharkov, only two years older than I was, and his brother was a factory director there, a communist and so forth.
I was alone, without my wife, throughout my entire time at that school –day school and night school. I made children play chess. And because the village was small, everyone knew that. Once a nice young man came to me and said in Ukrainian, "I know you play chess." I said, "Yes, that's true." We started playing – I saw that he wasn't very good. Then he said, "Do you play checkers?" I said, "Not really, but as a chess player, I can." So we started –he played checkers brilliantly. Once I argued with a man that a chess player would beat a checkers player if he exchanged two or three pieces, because a chess player thinks deeper and faster. I practiced a little bit, too. In short, we were almost equal, and sometimes he won. Naturally, I got carried away. This continued every evening. Then suddenly someone said, "Our director plays checkers with a priest every night until midnight." That's how I found out he was a priest. Later he told me, "I don't like being a church servant." So, since he was a priest, we drank. I told him, "Let's agree on something. At school, I'm one thing, and you're another." I was asked by this Vaksman from the regional Department of Education, each time we talked, how atheism was promoted and so forth. He asked mainly because so many children from that region went on to seminary. And this priest told his parishioners of an agreement with Vyacheslav [for the children]: Easter, Christmas, and Matka Bozka. Each village celebrates its own "Matka Bozka." But nothing else. That's how the promotion of atheism was handled. Later on, there was a check on the atheism promotion in the region, and the situation in Grozdevo was unbelievable. The children weren't going to church. This Vaksman met me somewhere and said, "Listen, Vyacheslav, I want you to give a speech at the regional teachers' meeting and tell how you do atheist propaganda." I said, "Vladimir Aleksandrovich, of course I can give a speech and say how it happened. But then I don't think we'll be seeing each other anymore." He said, "What do you mean?" I said, "I just made a deal with a priest." "F--- you," he said. "Fine, then."
After a year, Vaksman first offered me a job at Dobromel, in the other part of Poland, but in a high school. Then, after a while he said, "The collective there would eat you up. Let's send you to Strelki." Strelki was the former regional capital and a large village with about 1,500 to 2,000 people and two schools – a boarding school and a high school. There's no prettier village, right on the Dniestr. The director of the boarding school had an unbelievable personality – Pashchenko. He was a district attorney in Kiev before the war, worked on the top cases. But unfortunately, later, he became quite the drinker. He was a remarkable person, extremely gifted, but he couldn't stay on because he couldn't control himself. I became friends with Pashchenko when we met. Then he was sent to the mountains, to a madhouse, a school for the mentally handicapped in order to get him as far as possible from the public eye. That's how I became head of the boarding school. We worked there together, and then my wife moved in. She started working there too. It was a good road – only one and a half to two hours to Lvov by car or electric train. In short, we had everything, lived without problems. Everything was great. Had Vaksman not unexpectedly decided to promote me to director of the school, it's possible that I'd still be there now. But since I didn't want to be a director, I thought: OK, you're a Jew, but I'm no worse than you. So I went to graduate school…

The Apple To My Eye
You are the apple to my eye
and without you my heart begins to die.
I count every single second that goes by
until it's time for you to pass me by.
A brush of the shoulder something so simple
makes me smile and show my dimples.
When I talk to you and you to me
my heart beats out just to see something amazing standing before me.
But eventually we say our goodbyes and it's time to leave
my heart begins to die
but only because your the apple to my eye.

America's Cup- Southern Spars completes work for first wingsail
by Josh Impey on 6 Aug 2012
Emirates Team NZ, test sailing the AC72 with a Southern Spars supplied wingsail Chris Cameron/ETNZ©
The massive 40m carbon fibre wing on the newly-launched Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) AC72 catamaran is made up of components supplied by carbon fibre specialists Southern Spars for the incredible new class of America's Cup yacht.
Southern Spars has been involved in producing much of the leading edge technology used in America's Cup yachts since the company was formed in 1989, and as America's Cup challengers prepare to compete in the 2013 Louis Vuitton Cup, Southern Spars is involved once again.
As Southern Spars' director Mark Hauser notes, the 34th edition of the America's Cup is very different to previous events.
'Conventional carbon masts and rigging supporting high-tech sails have been replaced by 40m wing sails for the 2013 AC72 class yachts,' says Hauser.
'Working with Emirates Team NZ designers, Southern Spars has manufactured 75 per cent of the wing sail components and around 35 per cent of the beam structures for the huge 72' catamaran.'
ETNZ enlisted the assistance of another Auckland-based company, Cookson Boat Builders, to complete the catamaran.
Emirates Team NZ's managing director Grant Dalton said at the AC72 launch party on 21 July that he 'hopes the guys at Cookson's and Southern Spars take the time to reflect on what an achievement they have made'.
The yacht now named New Zealand has completed its maiden sail without an issue.
Hauser says: 'I was lucky enough to be out on the ETNZ tender during the AC72's first sail. Although the weather didn't play ball, it was extremely impressive to see the massive structure in action. It truly is a great testament to the quality of work produced by our team at Southern Spars Custom Projects in New Zealand and it is a very rewarding project to be involved with.'
ETNZ tactician Ray Davies sums up the first sail: 'It was a bit of a relief to get out there and fly a hull on the first day. We were doing 20 knots in 10 knots of breeze.'
'With an extremely skilled production and manufacturing team, Southern Spars has successfully adapted to designing and manufacturing the new wing sails,' says Hauser. 'Southern Spars is currently well-advanced with the wing sail production and are in the final stages of completing work on Luna Rossa Challenges first AC72 wing. We have the capability to build multiple AC72 wings in our Auckland facility. The wing masts are designed specifically for ease of shipment and New Zealand has direct shipping links to San Francisco where the 2013 Louis Vuitton Cup and America's Cup will be sailed.'
With both ETNZ and Luna Rossa Challenge running two-wing programmes, Southern Spars will also be involved in the production of each team's second AC72.

Hillary Clinton told MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday that she 'think[s]' she has been transparent about her ties to Wall Street, and then promptly refused to release the transcripts for her pricey speeches at big banks.
Clinton said Tuesday that she will not release the transcripts for the speeches, which averaged $225,000 per gig with Goldman Sachs, until her Republican rivals–who are not under similar scrutiny–also release transcripts from their speeches.
Host Mika Brzezinski asked Clinton whether, instead of insisting on a "level playing field," it wasn't more important to be transparent and release the transcripts.
"Isn't it more important perhaps to be transparent to Democratic voters about what you said to big banks behind closed doors?" Brzezinski said.
Clinton said she thought she had been transparent.
"Well, I think I have been transparent. I have a record. I'm not coming to this for the first time," Clinton said and told the hosts that she has a long, public history of fighting Wall Street.
"People can go back. They can look at what I said and what I did when I was a senator," Clinton said. "I'm the one who called out Wall Street. I actually went to Wall Street in '07. I said, you guys are going to wreck the economy, and I went after hedge fund loopholes."
Despite her transparency and her "public record" of advocating against big banks, Clinton again refused in the interview with Morning Joe to release the transcripts until everyone else released theirs.
"Let's get everybody out on the same field. I feel like, you know, I don't mind being responsive. I don't mind answering questions but at some point I want everybody to have to answer," Clinton said.
Clinton has justified her high speaking fees by saying that "everybody" accepts such fees, and that she accepted $675,000 from Goldman Sachs because "that's what they offered."

Crude Oil Export Restrictions:
Studies Suggest Allowing Exports Could Reduce Consumer Fuel Prices
GAO-15-745T: Published: Jul 8, 2015. Publicly Released: Jul 8, 2015.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Version:
(202) 512-3841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In September 2014, GAO reported that according to studies it reviewed and stakeholders it interviewed, removing crude oil export restrictions would likely increase domestic crude oil prices, but could decrease consumer fuel prices, although the extent of price changes are uncertain and may vary by region. The studies identified the following implications for U.S. crude oil and consumer fuel prices:
Crude oil prices . The four studies GAO reviewed estimated that if crude oil export restrictions were removed, U.S. crude oil prices would increase by about $2 to $8 per barrel—bringing them closer to international prices. Prices for some U.S. crude oils have been lower than international prices—for example, one benchmark U.S. crude oil averaged $52 per barrel from January through May 2015, while a comparable international crude oil averaged $57. In addition, one study found that, when assuming low future crude oil prices overall, removing export restrictions would have no measurable effect on U.S. crude oil prices.
Consumer fuel prices. The four studies suggested that U.S. prices for gasoline, diesel, and other consumer fuels follow international prices. If domestic crude oil exports caused international crude oil prices to decrease, consumer fuel prices could decrease as well. Estimates of the consumer fuel price implications in the four studies GAO reviewed ranged from a decrease of 1.5 to 13 cents per gallon. In addition, one study found that, when assuming low future crude oil prices, removing export restrictions would have no measurable effect on consumer fuel prices.
Some stakeholders cautioned that estimates of the price implications of removing export restrictions are subject to several uncertainties, such as the extent of U.S. crude oil production increases, and how readily U.S. refiners are able to absorb such increases. Some stakeholders further told GAO that there could be important regional differences in the price implications of removing export restrictions.
The studies GAO reviewed and the stakeholders it interviewed generally suggested that removing crude oil export restrictions may also have the following implications:
Crude oil production . Removing export restrictions may increase domestic production—over 8 million barrels per day in April 2014—because of increasing domestic crude oil prices. Estimates ranged from an additional 130,000 to 3.3 million barrels per day on average from 2015 through 2035.
Environment . Additional crude oil production may pose risks to the quality and quantity of surface groundwater sources; increase greenhouse gas and other emissions; and increase the risk of spills from crude oil transportation.
The economy . Three of the studies projected that removing export restrictions would lead to additional investment in crude oil production and increases in employment. This growth in the oil sector would—in turn—have additional positive effects in the rest of the economy, including for employment and government revenues.
Why GAO Did This Study
After decades of generally falling U.S. crude oil production, technological advances in the extraction of crude oil from shale formations have contributed to increases in U.S. production. In response to these and other market developments, some have proposed removing the 4 decade old restrictions on crude oil exports, underscoring the need to understand how allowing crude oil exports could affect crude oil prices, and the prices of consumer fuels refined from crude oil, such as gasoline and diesel.
This testimony discusses what is known about the pricing and other key potential implications of removing crude oil export restrictions. It is based on GAO's September 2014 report ( GAO-14-807 ), and information on crude oil production and prices updated in June 2015. For that report, GAO reviewed four studies issued in 2014 on crude oil exports; including two sponsored by industry and conducted by consultants, one sponsored by a research organization and conducted by consultants, and one conducted at a research organization. Market conditions have changed since these studies were conducted, underscoring some uncertainties surrounding estimates of potential implications of removing crude oil export restrictions. For its 2014 report, GAO also summarized the views of a nongeneralizable sample of 17 stakeholders including representatives of companies and interest groups with a stake in the outcome of decisions regarding crude oil export restrictions, as well as academic, industry, and other experts.

Macduff Ship Design has opened a new division devoted to marine survey work Macduff Marine Surveyors offers a range of survey types to suit a variety of needs from the Marine sector.
In January 2017, The 14.00m Catamaran Workboat "Lily Mae" built for Scottish Sea Farms has successfully completed trials achieving a top speed of over 10.0 knots and has been handed over to her owners, with a deck cargo capacity of 20t and deck area of almost 60sq.m she is ideal to carry out a variety of jobs. Macduff Ship Design provided steelwork construction drawings and cutting information for the yard and also undertook stability work for the vessel.
In January 2017, Macduff ship design are pleased to announce a new contract for the design of a 12.75m pilot vessel for ABP Ayr. The vessel is to be built by Macduff Shipyards with Macduff Ship Design providing a full design and steel cutting package.
The vessel design is the result of a long development process to ensure a vessel that suits the varied requirements of a busy small port operation and will be based at ABP's Port of Ayr whilst providing pilotage support to neighbouring Troon. The design combines the requirements for pilot duties along with a robust character to allow it to conduct vessel assist operations and workboat duties, which are of utmost importance in smaller ports with only one harbour vessel.
In October 2016, Macduff Ship Design has been awarded a contract for the design of a new 23m General Fish Farm vessel for Inverlussa Marine Services, the third vessel to be designed by Macduff for Inverlussa. The vessel is to be built by Havyard Shipyard in Norway. All parties are delighted to be working on such a prestigious contract.
In October 2016, Macduff Ship Design is well on in the design process for a 27m Pilot vessel for Tor Marine, this latest contract from the Turkish yard represents the continuing long term relationship between Macduff and Tor Marine.
In September 2016, The "Forever Faithful" a 21.5m Trawler built by Macduff Shipyard, has completed her sea trails performing to expectations and has been handed over.
In August 2016, The second 19m ASD tug "Damla 7" built by RMK Marine, Turkey, has been handedn over to her owners.
In August 2016, Macduff Shipyard number 673 "Venture III" has arrived in Macduff for machinery and final interior outfitting.
In August 2016, The new feed barges built for Scottish Sea Farms have been performing admirably.

She started with a part-time position while continuing studies and once qualified was hired full time within the company.
In June 2016, Macduff Shipyard build number 667 the new 24m Twin Rig Trawler "Rebecca" has been handed over to her owners after completing sea trials and performing very well particularly regarding efficiency and acoustic performance operating smoothly and quietly.
In May 2016, Macduff Ship Design and Macduff Marine Surveyors are both looking forward to seeing customers past, present and future at the Seawork Exhibition in Southampton 14-16 June.
In May 2016, The "Selkie" a 25.70m Dredger has completed her trials performing as expected and is ready for delivery and to begin her dredging duties for the Moray Council.
In May 2016, The first of two 19m ASD Tugs built By RMK Marine in Turkey has been delivered to her owner.
In April 2016, A new 24m Trawler was launched, this is the first of three 24m vessels under construction in Macduff. Built to a Macduff Shipyards design, Macduff Ship Design have been responsible for producing the full steel kit with cutting data and construction plans.
In April 2016, The "Selkie" a 27.50m Dredger for the Moray Council has been Launched at Macduff Shipyards Buckie facility and is due to begin sea trials before handover to the Moray Council. The only dredger in Scotland to be owned by a local authority has been built to replace the shearwater. Designed to operate in smaller harbours she will be used to clean the harbours at Buckie, Burghead, Hopeman, Findochty, Portnockie and Cullen, while not engaged in these activities the vessel will be avaliable for hire.
In April 2016, Yard Number 671 built in Poland has been towed to Macduff for the final outfit and machinery installation work to be completed. A 21.50m Macduff Shipyard design, Macduff Ship Design has worked closely with the yard to produce structural drawings for the vessel.
In March 2016, A Macduff Tweed 13 Line handler built by Sepehr Shipyard in Iran has been completed and has undergone her trials performing to expectations, this is the first completed vessel of a total order of four which are to be built.
In Feburary 2016, The "Marsden Bay" has now been delivered and has entered service for North Tugz at Northport in New Zealand the 17m tug was built by Boustead Langkawi Shipyard. The vessel was originally based on the incredibly successful "Sally Mcloughlin" however this new design, produced to the specific requirements of North Tugz, increased the overall size of the vessel to 17m length 8m breadth and 3.6m depth. Boasting an impressive 28 tonne bollard pull driven by two Cat C32 main engines and complete with fixed nozzles from Kort propulsion. Deck machinery comprises a forward towing winch with 30 tonne capacity, a 30 tonne aft tow hook, 2 tonne tugger winch, deck crane with a 2.65 tonne capacity at 7.9m, a Hydraulic Windlass and a Capstan on the aft port deck, leaving the "Marsden Bay" a highly capable vessel in the class of small harbour tugs, more than able to carry out her standard towing, pushing, surveying and lifting operations. Classed under BV and also built to conform to the stability regulations of Maritime New Zealand.
The vessel is designed to be operated by a crew of two with over-night accommodation on board and large fuel and water capacities giving the vessel a lengthy endurance.
In Feburary 2016, The first 14.90m service vessel built by RMK Marine in Turkey has been delivered. This build is part of a larger order for five 10.10m Mooring Tugs, two service vessels and two 19m tugs. The first vessel performed to expectations at trials achieving all the owners requirements including a 16 knot service speed.
In Feburary 2016, Macudff Ship design is pleased to have recieved two awards from Workboat World magazine Best of 2015 edition. Macduff Ship Design is delighted that it has been recognised for its work again this year. The awards were recieved for the best large patrol boat [Atco Noura] and for the best maintenance vessel [London Titan].
The "Atco Noura" a 45m fast patrol boat built by Tor Marine in Turkey represented a step away from the type of vessels Macduff Ship Design and Tor Marine usually design and build but highlight the adaptability of both companies to work in new fields to produce a vessel to a tight brief and meet the expectations of all involved.
The "London Titan" a 36.5m Maintenance vessel built for the Port of London by Manor Marine was another pioneering project for Macduff Ship Design. The vessel needed to conform to a strict brief to allow the vessel to operate over virtually the entire lenght of the Port of London Authorities jurisdiction along the river Thames. The hull shape was specified to have good sea keeping characteristics while providing a large stable working platform to allow working in the outer eastuary and also in shallow water. The vessel also has a low air draft to allow navigation under bridges upriver as far as Richmond.
In January 2016, The "Warness Lass " a landing craft /workboat built for the Scottish Sea Farms has completed trials and is awaiting hand over to her new owners. She is a near repeat of the vessels completed at Macduff shipyards last year. The order was placed on the back of the success of these vessels, this is the third vessel based on the original design of the "Emma".
In January 2016, "Selkie" the new 27.5m Moray Council dredger building in Buckie by Macduff Shipyards is progressing apace with all the hull units completed ready for joining and the interior outfitting well underway.

The negotiators also plan to discuss placing limits on tobacco advertising and on government regulation of cigarettes, as well as how to split the $300bn (pounds 185bn) the companies are considering as payment to settle health- related suits.
The tobacco industry was willing "to change the way it does business", said Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut Attorney General, yesterday. "There is a trove of damning evidence that would be dynamite to use against tobacco consumption."
The two days of negotiations extend months of talks aimed at ending a 35-year battle over tobacco companies' potential liability for the health problems of cigarette smokers.
Three weeks ago, the chairmen of Philip Morris and RJR Nabisco, the two biggest tobacco companies in the US, joined the talks.
Full details of what will be discussed at the meeting are not being divulged. Robert Fiske, an attorney for the tobacco industry, declined to comment about the meeting.
Tobacco company stocks fell in late trading on Wall Street yesterday. Philip Morris stock was the biggest faller, dropping $1.75 to $41.5.

Women on television are affected by a "combination of ageism and sexism" that does not apply to men, new figures show.
Released by Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, the figures suggest women disappear from TV screens as they get older.
As part of the work of the Older Women's Commission, Ms Harman, said that once women on television turn 50, their days on-screen are "numbered".
Ms Harman, shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport, wrote to the six main UK broadcasters asking them how many older women they employ on screen and behind the camera.
The findings were that while the majority of over 50s in the UK are women (53.1%), the overwhelming majority of TV presenters who are over 50 are men (82%).
While TV presenters are broadly reflective of age in the general population - 30% of TV presenters are over 50 compared with 34% of the UK population - they are unrepresentative in terms of gender.
It was discovered that only 7% of the total TV workforce (on and off-screen) are women over the age of 50.
Ms Harman said: "The figures provided by broadcasters show clearly that once female presenters hit 50, their days on-screen are numbered.
"There is a combination of ageism and sexism that hits women on TV that doesn't apply to men in the same way.
"It is an encouraging first step that broadcasters have been open in providing these statistics. Their response shows that they all recognise that this is an important issue that needs to be addressed.
"I will be publishing these figures annually so we are able to monitor progress."
Miriam O'Reilly, who won an employment tribunal against the BBC on the grounds of ageism, said: "These figures raise the obvious questions of where have all the older women gone and why did they go? Was it their choice to leave their jobs or was it a decision forced upon them?
"The broadcasters say they are committed to the fair representation of older women, but the figures don't bear that out. I'd like to know the reasons why so many talented women have disappeared, while their male counterparts have grown older and still have their jobs."
Ms Harman will be holding a roundtable with broadcasters in the House of Commons today to challenge them to take action.
There will be representatives from the BBC, ITN, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky News.
Ms Harman said for men "grey hair denotes wisdom, experience, authority", but there was a sense that viewers "need to be protected" from older women.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I don't think that's acceptable and I don't think women in the country think that just when they are past 50 they have to be airbrushed off our screens."
She added: "There has been a very big change in the generation of older women that there are now. They are in much better health than their mothers, they are more likely to have taken their work much more seriously, have higher educational qualifications.
"Yet the assumption is that they have to be pushed out of the door if they are not looking young, looking in their reproductive years. No they are not young, they are 50 and 60, but that doesn't mean they should be pushed out the door and they don't have a major and growing contribution to work and to broadcasting."

Freeserve unveils Internet kiosks
Freeserve, the UK's largest internet service provider, is preparing to install 1,000 Internet kiosks at airports, train stations...

The kiosks, jointly developed with NWP Communications (NWP), will allow users to access news, e-mail, chat services, video games and direct shopping channels.
Freeserve is planning to install 30 kiosks on a trial basis. Each device comprises a 15in touch screen with full alphanumeric keyboard and trackball. Payment will be by cash or credit card.
Derek O'Neill, managing director of NWP, said: "The Freeserve deal is very important to raise the profile of kiosks.
"The payphone market has been affected by mobile phone adoption, but services like the Internet kiosk are the first example of a wider move towards offering new services."
NWP has seen the value of the payphone market decline from £350m a year to around £200m. However, O'Neill believes that the company's existing 8,000 payphone sites, which are linked via high-speed data lines, will prove to be a valuable resource for the next range of information services.
He said the company was investigating the possibility of using the kiosks as short-range base stations for wireless services.

And I assume you mean 3G, not G3 (and probably the same for the other G's).
May I ask what the background of your question is?
What is the difference between a G2, G3 or G4 phone network and technology? If each is an upgrade, what was upgraded?
CNET's forum on cell phones is the best source for help, troubleshooting tips, and buying advice from a community of experts. Discussions include mobile phones and smart phones, choosing a service provider, bluetooth headsets, ring tones, and other phone-related questions.
What is the difference between a G2, G3 or G4 phone network and technology? If each is an upgrade, what was upgraded?
The terms used such as 2G, 3G, 4G refer to the generation of data connections (primarily) for cell phones in this example. A 2G phone connects at approx a dialup internet connection, 3G at approx DSL connection, and 4G at an even faster connection. 4G is a developing technology and will only be available in select markets (cities) as it is rolled out nationwide. Cellular providers typically don't utilize the same data networks at the same time so release dates by each carrier will be at different time frames.
Yes, the Gs do refer to the generation and it is not simply just the difference in speed. But, of course it is the major difference of them as we are demanding faster speed. It just doesnt make sense to have a new generation of technology with slower speed. The real difference is the underlying technology that the G is refering to. Just like a car with V6, V8, v12 engine. It might not neccessary have higher speed because it have more cylinders nor all 3g network as V4 engine have the same speed. Bottomline, higher speed might not equate to higher G or a new G. Just a car higher speed doesnt mean you have more cylinders in your engine.
Want to see the future of car technology?
Brian Cooley found it for you at CES 2017 in Las Vegas and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Amazing trip and amazing place has been seen.
Very nice tour. Worth it. The guides were very nice and very knowledegable.
Very good sharp excellent resource. Strong people connect superlative engagement process with the visitors. Excellent resource passionate about the job. Rating 10
Excellent tour of a wonderful city!!So much to see and learn. Great !!
It was a fantastic tour. Perfect for a one-day stay in Sevilla. We saw all the mayor sites and monuments and our guide was very knowledgeable and proud to show us his city.
Excellent tour!!Very full day,and included all the places of interest in Seville.
We live in Spain but often over look the obvious or miss out on the translation. We have visited Seville several times before but never with a tour. This tour was a major benefit to our understanding and enjoyment of our trip. The guide was entertaining and informative, we found our way around the city much easier afterwards and saw all the major sites that we had previously avoided due to the queues.
After lunch we took the boat trip which was chilled, if you like bridges! There was quite a lot to see and the information on the speaker was good but it was just a bit lacking the wow factor after the morning tour.
Tony F United States of ...
I haven't published a review in a very long time because none of the many tours I participated impressed me, but yesterday I took a tour, Seville in One Day, and it was a real surprise. Everything went OK. The pickup, the organization, the design of the activities but, above all, the tour guide, LOLA was outstanding. Fluent in both Spanish and English, she smoothly and effortlessly shifted between the two languages and, unlike most guides I've encountered, her English and Spanish explanations were basically the same. She knows a lot about the city and the most important points for the tour but also she knows a lot about the country's history and shared a lot of useful information. She was also patient and was pending of everybody's needs.Viajes Boreal is a great tour operator and LOLA is an outstanding tour guide. A.
The tour was fantastic. The sites we visited were amazing and the guide who accompanied us was a informative and entertaining. I can't wait to return to Sevilla and take another tour with Viator.
James L USA
Tour was wonderful, but the guide could have talked a little slower and shown a little more enthusiasm,
Great tour. Very comprehensive. Our guide, Jose Antonio was one of the best.
Sevilla is a very beautiful city. This tour certainly did justice to it, The morning session was a wow, a memorable time We also did the afternoon, this included the boat trip which was uninteresting. The bullring afterwards did rescue it.
Do the morning, but the afternoon would be improved if the boat sank in advance of you boarding it.
Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable about this city, which really made this tour quite enjoyable. While it's very easy to show yourself around town, his narration really made it worth going on the tour.There were two less-than-stellar points; 1) waiting to enter Alcazar and then the amount of time inside the palace - too long. Since these palaces are not furnished like many castles are, the tours can really be much shorter, and become tiring. If I had it to do again, I would end the tour before entering Alcazar, find out when the lines are the shortest and go on my own. 2) The river cruise after lunch has nothing to see but bridges built in 1931 and is very short with rather unsightly scenery. By the time we got to the Bull Ring, we decided to go home and skip it altogether. I do highly recommend the morning portion, though.
Melissa was one of our favorite Spanish tour guides. She is so very knowledgeable about the old Jewish district of Sevilla, the Cathedral, and the Royal Alcazar Palace. Our guide for the River Cruise and the Bullring was also very good. This tour is a solid value for the money and you really can check off every major sightseeing location in Sevilla in one day. Our only hesitation about this tour was the communication at the start. We waited for 30 minutes to be picked up by bus and were not notified of the delay. We must have missed instructions about how the day would play out with the different tour guides, but Melissa did a very good job catching us back up.
Very nice tour with lots to see. So much we were not able to do last tour in cathedral.
Enjoyed it, but it IS a lot to cover in a day. Also, the boat trip really doesn't add much, so that time would be better spent at the Plaza de Espana.
Excellent tour of the city of Seville. Antonio our tour guide in the morning was very informative and considerate of taking small breaks and not rushing as it was 100 degrees F that day. Unfortunately our afternoon guide Lola for the river cruise, bullring was inconsiderate and not very friendly
Antonio was a great guide--he deserves 5+ stars, but the bus ride in the morning was a waste of time.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Explanations of what we were seeing were informative and interesting. A positive experience which we completed with favourable memories.
This is great! You get picked up from your hotel. First i was in a group of spanish speaking visitors. But Lola never made me feel unwelcomed. She forwarded me over to Antonio and i joined the international group. Antonio is very good, did it in several languages: English, Spanish, French, even German i think. He is very knowledgeable about Seville, it's history and culture. He is approachable and friendly and made sure he balanced his time with all the group.
Frainy M USA
with this tour, you get to see a lot of Seville that probably you wouldn't otherwise.. def a good tour..
Seville is a place that you have to see with a guide in order for time not to be wasted.
This tour had a funny start for us as we were staying in Old Town and had to go to the pick-up destination on the main road where we went from hotel to hotel to pick up the other passengers. When the bus was full, we got off the bus in Old Town, and literally walked past the building we were staying in! The rest of the tour was fine. Enjoyed seeing the Cathedral and the Palace and the river cruise at the end of the day was well timed because it was a long tour and this part was relaxing.
The Guide Was excellent. Very engaging. The boat ride was not good. I don't think it added anything to the tour- it was for me, a "waste" of one hour.
The tour itself and the Guide were good. What we were unhappy with was that we rode around in the van for 1 1/2 hours picking up people at all different hotels.
