Listed as a "new requirement" for foreign travelers on U.S. government business, the memo says that requests for foreign travel "involving or potentially involving climate change, sea ice, and/or polar bears" require special handling, including notice of who will be the official spokesman for the trip.

The Fish and Wildlife Service top officials need assurance that the spokesman, "the one responding to questions on these issues, particularly polar bears" understands the administration's position on these topics.

Are you sure this isn't an old article about the regime in the old USSR?

USSR is the same regime, you can see this by the selling of hi-tech weapons
to Iran, and the killing of many reporters who know to much.

Need I add more charges?

Oh, and why don't you just include USSR and puttin into your european family?

I cannot deviate from thread title because without order all man descends to chaos and of course cannibalism. So, polar bears? I think Freud was right. If I go to the zoo it is best to go alone. My life partner does not like to hear my side of the story when it comes to polar bears.

Also, hyperspace, while at the zoo, be sure not to feed the polar bears....

I didn't realize these sorts of governmental guidelines were so blatant. That's pretty shocking to read...from the Land of the Free...

You know... I always thought it would be a great project to sit down and pull up some of these old articles of the US criticizing the USSR...and then sit down and compare it to what our country is doing today. That'd be pretty damn interesting, albeit very labor intensive.

I think I understand now. It is just an allusion to polar bears. It is a little disappointing because there is much to be said for polar bears. As far as the USSR, it is okay! Ronald Reagan had asked Mikhail Gorbachev (Gorby) to disarm. Unlike Axis of Evil nations, Gorby said okay.
