1970: Future FEMA Director Advocates Emergency Roundup of Millions

Edit event

Louis O. Giuffrida, a colonel in the US Army who will later head the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under President Reagan (see May 18, 1981), writes a paper while at the US Army War College advocating martial law in the event of a militant uprising by African Americans. The Miami Herald will later report that Giuffrida’s paper calls for the roundup and transfer of at least 21 million “American Negroes” to “assembly centers or relocation camps” in the event of an emergency or uprising by black citizens. The paper will resemble martial law plans later drafted by FEMA while Giuffrida is the agency’s director

1971: California Governor Reagan Establishes Institute for ‘Specialized Training’

Edit event

California Governor Ronald Reagan establishes the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) to oversee disaster training and exercises for the state. The CSTI, which will serve as a branch of the governor’s Office of Emergency Services, will prepare emergency personnel for a variety of scenarios ranging from terrorist attacks, to environmental hazards, to civil disturbances. The creation of the institute was recommended by participants in the exercises Cable Splicer II and Cable Splicer III (see March 1969 and May 1970). The facility, built with a $425,000 grant from the Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, is meant to duplicate the functions of the Senior Officers Civil Disturbance Course (SEADOC) in Fort Gordon, Georgia. The CSTI will be criticized for training police officers to use military-style tactics in domestic law enforcement situations. It will teach a controversial program known as the Civil Emergency Management Course (see September 1971). Reagan appoints Louis O. Giuffrida, a US Army colonel, to head the CSTI. A year earlier, Giuffrida wrote a paper advocating martial law and the emergency roundup of 21 million “American Negroes” to “assembly centers or relocation camps” in the event of a militant uprising by African Americans (see 1970). Giuffrida will later be appointed to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency

May 18, 1981: Giuffrida Confirmed as Next Director of FEMA

Louis O. Giuffrida is confirmed by the Senate to become the next director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Guiffrida, who was recently promoted to the rank of general in the California National Guard, served under President Reagan when Reagan was governor of California. Giuffrida headed the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) (see 1971) and was an “adviser on terrorism, emergency management, and other special topics.” According to Reagan, Giuffrida has a “lengthy career as a military and civilian expert in crime prevention and investigation, industrial defense, physical security, civil disturbances and disasters, confinement, and rehabilitation responsibilities.”

June 30, 1982: FEMA Memo Outlines Standby Martial Law Doctrine

Edit event

John Brinkeroff, deputy for national preparedness programs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), outlines plans for implementing martial law in the event of a national emergency. In a memorandum later obtained by the Miami Herald, Brinkeroff describes how FEMA and the military would take over the country in the event of a crisis. According to the Herald, the plans include “suspension of the Constitution, turning control of the United States over to FEMA, appointment of military commanders to run state and local governments, and declaration of martial law during a national crisis.” Although the term “national crisis” is not defined, the Herald will later report that it is understood to mean anything from nuclear war to “violent and widespread internal dissent or national opposition against a military invasion abroad.” A source will tell the Herald the contingency plan is authorized by an “executive order or legislative package that [President] Reagan would sign and hold within the NSC [National Security Council] until a severe crisis arose.” This may refer to emergency legislation drafted by the Reagan administration to amend the 1950 Defense Resources Act (see September 25, 1984) and proposed updates to Executive Order 11490 (see August 2, 1984). The Brinkeroff memo resembles a paper written in 1970 by the current head of FEMA, Louis O. Giuffrida, in which he advocated the roundup and transfer of at least 21 million “American Negroes” to “assembly centers or relocation camps” in the event of an emergency

Fed Reverse Repo Usage Shows No Sign of Slowing Amid Imbalances

The glut of cash in U.S. interest-rate markets pushed the amount of money that investors are parking at a major central bank facility to yet another all-time high.

Eighty-two participants on Tuesday placed $1.19 trillion at the Federal Reserve’s overnight reverse repurchase agreement facility, in which counterparties like money-market funds can place cash with the central bank. That surpassed the previous record volume of $1.147 trillion from Aug. 25, New York Fed data show.

While usage is expected to recede on Wednesday since its the beginning of a new month, demand will eventually move higher as the deluge shows few signs of slowing.

The Fed’s ongoing asset purchases and Treasury’s drawdown of its cash balance are pushing more reserves into the system, causing liquidity to swell. These growing imbalances in front end markets have helped keep downward pressure on short-end rates, raising the likelihood that RRP usage will rise further. “It probably goes higher,” said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. interest rates strategy at Societe Generale. These drivers are “the reduction in front-end supply, the cash glut from rising reserves, inflows into ultra-short bond funds.”

(prolly close to $2T a day by the end of Oct.)'''

In anticipation of the cash surge distorting funding markets, Federal Reserve policy makers this year have taken a series of steps to increase the capacity of the RRP, including boosting its per counterparty limits to $80 billion each, and adjusting the criteria to make the facility more accessible to more money funds. It even raised its administered rates at its June gathering by 5 basis points to help support the smooth functioning of short-term funding markets.

Lorie Logan, manager of the System Open Market Account at the New York Fed, noted in the minutes of the July 27-28 meeting that it may become appropriate to lift the RRP counterparty limit from $80 billion if a number of users reached their threshold.

Yet it remains uncertain as to where demand for the Fed’s facility will peak. Rajappa said it will depend on the timing of the U.S. government’s resolution of the debt ceiling, which the Treasury bill market is currently pricing for October or November. After that, Treasury can increase its supply, providing another investment alternative for investors.

Chile Shocks Markets With Biggest Rate Hike in Two Decades

Chile’s central bank shocked economists with its biggest interest rate increase in 20 years as government stimulus propels consumer demand and pushes inflation above target.

Policy makers led by Mario Marcel lifted the overnight rate by 75 basis points to to 1.5% on Tuesday. Twelve of 17 economists in a Bloomberg survey expected a 50-basis point increase, while the remaining five saw a second straight quarter-point hike. The central bank’s board acknowledged the need to avoid “an accumulation of macroeconomic imbalances that, among other consequences, could lead to a more persistent increase in inflation,” according to a statement published with the decision. “The board decided to intensify the withdrawal of monetary stimulus.” The decision is the clearest sign yet that the bank’s board is concerned about the overheating of one of Latin America’s fastest growing economies in 2021. Many analysts expect growth to reach 10% this year on the back of billions of dollars in emergency spending and early pension withdrawals. Robust consumer demand and higher commodity costs are threatening to keep inflation above target for longer.Consumer prices rose 4.5% in the 12 months through July. The central bank targets inflation of 3%, with a tolerance range of plus or minus one percentage point.

Japan to relocate its Kabul embassy to Qatar

Japan’s top diplomat says his country has temporarily moved its embassy from Afghanistan to Turkey but now plans to relocate it to Qatar, where the Taliban have an office. The Gulf Arab country is also expected to play an important political role in what comes next for Afghanistan.

Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi earlier this month visited the Middle East. He told reporters on Tuesday that his talks with leaders in the region suggest that Doha, the capital of Qatar, will carry growing political importance. “I believe various forms of communication will take place,” Motegi said. Japanese nationals at the embassy in Kabul were among the first to be evacuated from Afghanistan. Most of them were airlifted by the British military before Tokyo dispatched its Self-Defense Force aircraft last week as the security outside the Kabul airport worsened. Last Thursday and Friday, Japan evacuated only one Japanese citizen, along with 14 Afghan people at the request of U.S. military, to Pakistan.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said that safe evacuations of the rest of Japanese nationals and Afghans who worked for the Japanese Embassy and aid organization remain a top priority.
