The Security Council considered the situation in the Republic of South Africa resulting from the apartheid policies of the South African government during its 1073rd–1078th meetings held from November 27 to December 11, 1963. The Council had before it the request made by 32 African and Asian states in a letter of October 23, 1963, addressed to the President of the Security Council; and the report by the Secretary-General submitted pursuant to the request made in the Security Council's Resolution of August 7, 1963, that he keep the situation in South Africa under observation and report to the Security Council by October 30, 1963. At the President's invitation Mrs. Pandit (India), Mr. Grimes (Liberia), Mr. Rakotomalala (Madagascar), Mr. Slim (Tunisia), and Mr. Karefa-Smart (Sierra Leone) took places at the Security Council table.

The Security Council took up this item at its 1040th–1049th meetings, July 22–31, 1963. At the invitation of the President, the representatives of Tunisia, Liberia, Portugal, Sierra Leone, and Madagascar took places at the Council table. The item was being considered at the request of 32 African governments, which had sent a letter to the President of the Security Council asking the Council to consider "the situation in the territories under Portuguese domination." According to this letter, which was accompanied by an explanatory memorandum setting forth the decisions of the heads of African states on this matter at the Addis Ababa Conference of May 22–25, 1963 the state of war prevailing in some of these territories following the persistent refusal of Portugal to comply with certain General Assembly and Security Council resolutions constituted a definite breach of peace and security in the African continent as well as a threat to international peace and security.

Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed its recent reports concerning the Department of Energy's (DOE) and the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) security programs to protect against theft, sabotage, espionage, terrorism, and other risks to national security at its facilities, focusing on: (1) oversight of safeguards and security programs at DOE; and (2) security issues with NNSA."

Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are the foundation of the social safety net for Americans with disabilities. Both provide cash benefits, and because neither program is limited to specific impairments or to workers in particular occupations, as is the case with many public and private disability plans, they are broadly accessible to the American people and the most expensive of the nation's disability benefit programs. Excluding expenditures for health care, DI and SSI combined account for almost three-quarters of annual federal spending on the disabled (U.S. GAO 1999). Disability benefits policy, though, has long been fraught with controversy. Conservatives have resisted broad income support for disabled workers, preferring, instead, workplace accommodations and limited public assistance. On the other hand, bureaucrats, the federal courts, and interest groups have been instrumental in expanding both social insurance coverage and public assistance to the disabled. As a result of their concerted efforts, DI and SSI have grown irrespective of which party controlled the White House or Congress. Today no other disability benefits program comes close to rivaling them, regardless of whether the measure is persons enrolled or dollars spent. Expansion, however, is not the same as largess, because, despite dramatic growth in DI and SSI since their enactment, poverty and unemployment still remain prevalent among Americans with disabilities.

This collection of essays by feminist scholar-activists addresses the crucial problem of human security in a world of heavily armed, militarized states. It describes the gendered aspects of human security excluded from the realist militarism that dominates current security policy in most nation states. The book deepens and broadens current security discourses, encouraging serious consideration of alternatives to the present global security system that functions to advantage state security over human security, a system the contributors perceive to be rooted in the patriarchal nature of the nation state. This second edition will be of interest to academics and students of gender studies, women's studies, international studies, development studies, human rights, security studies, peace studies and peace education.

The Security Council considered this question at its 1050th–1056th meetings, July 31–August 7, 1963. At the invitation of the President the representatives of Tunisia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Madagascar took places at the Security Council table. The question was being considered at the request of 32 African governments which had sent a letter to the President of the Security Council asking the Council to take up "the explosive situation existing in the Republic of South Africa" which they alleged constituted a serious threat to international peace and security. The letter was accompanied by an explanatory memorandum setting forth the important provisions of a resolution on this subject adopted by the heads of African states at Addis Ababa on May 22–25, 1963.
