Türkiye hails US move to exclude conditions on F-16 sale
ISTANBUL, TÜRKİYE - DECEMBER 07: Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his Moldovan counterpart Nicu Popescu hold a joint press conference following their meeting in Istanbul, Türkiye on December 07, 2022. Türkiye on Wednesday hailed the recent US move to exclude certain provisions in the final text of the US defense budget on the sale of F-16s to Ankara. Speaking at the joint press conference Cavusoglu said: "In the end, the absence of a negative element (in the bill) is a positive development. We welcome this." Amendments introduced in the US House of Representatives, making sales of F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye contingent on a series of conditions were removed in the final defense spending bill. Approval of this bill and completion of purchases would serve "everyone's interest," Cavusoglu said, adding that the process needs to be finalized "as soon as possible." The move came after two amendments introduced by Democratic senators, Bob Menendez and Chris Van Hollen, tying F-16 sales to Türkiye on some conditions were removed from the Senate version of the annual US defense spending bill. The amendments sought to impose several restrictions on the sale of F-16s and modernization kits to Türkiye, including not to use the fighter jets to violate Greek airspace and requiring the Biden administration to certify that the sale would be in national interest. After the Senate passes the National Defense Authorization Act, it will be made into a joint text with a previous version passed within the House of Representatives before it is sent to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law.

Now, ultimately, the only thing that can do that is Congress doing what it's done 78 other times raising the debt limit. We don't have a plan B that allows us to meet the commitments that we've made to our creditors, to our seniors, to our veterans, to the American people. The only plan we have is the one that's worked for more than 200 years in this country, which is the United States of America needs to pay all of its bills and pay them on time and Congress has the ability to do that and the president is calling on them to act on that as quickly as possible.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Poppy Harlow: Is that a no?&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Wally Adeyemo: So the question was whether the United States would use the 14th amendment.

80984 " THAT MEN MAY FIGHT " WORLD WAR II WOMEN'S RESERVE WAVES U.S. NAVY MOVIE
This WWII movie shows the U.S. Navy's WAVES, the acronym for the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, the World War II women's branch of the United States Naval Reserve. The film shows WAVE training in San Diego, California. The film shows WAVES employed as stenographers, postal clerks, telephone operators, air traffic control, pharmacists mates, dental hygienists, aerographers, store keepers, and more. At the 5:30 mark, women are shown operating LINK trainers and repairing aircraft as aviation machinists mates at the Air Station at Norman, Oklahoma. The women's softball team, such as you might have seen in "A League of Their Own" is also shown. <p><p>The WAVES was established on 21 July 1942 by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the president on 30 July 1942, as the Title V amendment to the Naval Reserve Act of 1938. This authorized the U.S, Navy to accept women into the naval reserve as commissioned officers and at the enlisted level, effective for the duration of the war plus six months. The purpose of the law was to release officers and men for sea duty and replace them with women in shore stations.<p><p>The notion of women serving in the Navy was not widely supported in the congress or by the Navy, although some members did support the need for uniformed women during wartime. Nonetheless, the persistence of several women laid the groundwork for success. The congressional act allowing women to serve in the Navy became a reality, in large measure, through the efforts of the Navy’s Women’s Advisory Council, Dr. Margaret Chung, and Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the president.<p><p>Mildred H. McAfee became the first director of the WAVES. She was commissioned a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy on 3 August 1942, and was the first woman commissioned in the US Naval Reserve. McAfee, on leave as president of Wellesley College, was an experienced educator and highly respected in her field.<p><p>The age for officer candidates was between 20 and 49, with a college degree, or two years of college and two years of equivalent professional or business experience. The enlisted age requirements were between 20 and 35, with a high school or business diploma, or equivalent experience. United States citizenship was required in each case. WAVES were primarily white and middle class. Little attempt had been made to recruit African-American or other women minorities until October 1944. However, 72 African-American women did eventually serve in it he WAVES and on a fully integrated basis. The WAVES peak strength was 86,291, which included 8,475 officers, 73,816 enlisted, and about 4,000 in training.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

OR: OREGON SENATE WALKOUT ENDS AFTER SIX WEEKS
&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>URL: &lt;/b> https://katu.com/news/local/oregon-senate-reaches-a-quorum-for-the-first-time-in-6-weeks&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Wire/StoryDescription:&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>SALEM, Ore. After a six-week-long walkout, the Oregon Senate reached a quorum Thursday and lawmakers passed the two specific bills that prompted the boycott - with some amendments.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The amended versions of HB 2002 and 2005 now head back to the House Chamber for approval.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The quorum was officially declared at 11:17 a.m. Thursday, bringing an end to the longest walkout in Oregon history.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The GOP protest began May 3, ahead of a final vote on House Bill 2002, a controversial reproductive rights bill, and a gun control bill, House Bill 2005.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>As the session began, Senate Republican Minority Leader Tim Knopp, R-District 27, said that the compromise-reached bills are constitutional, bipartisan, and lawful, and he appreciates those who worked together.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>As the session commenced, the parties began to vote on bills, with several sent back to Committee to be amended for another vote:&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>SJR 33 was sent back to Committee by unanimous vote&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>HB 2002 B, the divisive reproductive rights bill, was sent back to the committee by unanimous vote.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>HB 2005 had two of the three combined pieces of legislation on gun control removed&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>HB 2395 was also sent back to the committee&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>HB 2002 initially would have allowed those under 15 to decide on an abortion without parental consent. It was amended to require consent unless a medical provider determines parental involvement would be unsafe for the teen. It still requires insurance companies to cover gender-affirming care, and also still has protections for providers of abortion.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>HB 2005 will still ban the sale of "ghost guns" - or guns without a serial number. It was gutted of the portions that would have made it illegal for those under 21 to purchase certain guns, and would have allowed local governments to ban concealed carry in some places.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>SJR 33, which asks voters to codify the right to same-sex marriage in the Oregon constitution, as well as the right to abortion, will remain in committee.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Discussion is ongoing on whether it will go out as a ballot measure through the signature collection.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Senators who took part in the walkout were clearly not swayed by Measure 113, a voter-passed law that prevents lawmakers from qualifying for a second term if they have 10 or more unexcused absences on days they are scheduled to vote.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>KATU asked the leaders of both parties what happens now that several Republican senators have passed that 10 unexcused absence threshold.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In a statement, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said:&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Oregonians are demanding progress on many urgent challenges.
