Correspondence issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "To encourage private-sector employers to sponsor new pension plans and U.S. workers to save for retirement, federal law authorizes a variety of tax incentives, such as the ability to defer taxes on contributions to qualified plans until the funds are distributed, up to certain limits. Since 2000, the dollar amount of these limits has increased over time. However, from 2009 through 2011, the number of new pension plans formed each year in the private sector remained relatively flat, and was below the levels reported previously for 2003 through 2007. Specifically, from 2009 through 2011, private-sector employers sponsored about 81,000 new pension plans, including 75,000 defined contribution (DC) plans and 6,000 defined benefit (DB) plans. DC plans with fewer than 100 participants accounted for about 90 percent of all new plan growth over this period. Moreover, the net change in the number of pension plans over this period was negative, with the number of terminated plans more than offsetting new plan formation by nearly 34,000 plans. Over the 3-year span from 2009 through 2011, private-sector employers terminated about 106,000 DC and 9,000 DB plans. Overall, there were about 52,000 …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Louis Lepore. Lepore was born 24 May 1923 to immigrant parents in San Diego. He attended San Diego State College. In July of 1943, he was activated into the V-12 Navy College Training Program. In 1944 he completed boot camp and went to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina for OCS training. After being commissioned, Lepore joined the 5th Marine Division in Hawaii and trained at Camp Tarawa. In late 1944 he arrived at Iwo Jima where he was assigned as platoon leader with Company A, 1st Battalion, 27th Marines. He vividly describes combat situations, the 75% casualties suffered in his company and the burial procedure used to inter the dead. Following the surrender of Japan, Lepore took part in destroying Japanese war materials and expresses his conviction that the use of the atomic bomb saved many thousands of lives both American and Japanese.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with A. W. McCasker. McCasker joined the Royal Australian Navy and at the end of 1942 was stationed on Guadalcanal. He took a small party behind enemy lines to Lord Howe Island on a reconnaissance mission, accompanied by two American soldiers and a Javanese guide. There he was greeted by a Polynesian king who held a formal ceremony declaring war on the Japanese. McCasker brought along a radio that could reach several hundred miles; however, moving its heavy battery chargers required the labor of 12 natives. For nine months they moved from island to island, observing aircraft, reporting to headquarters at Guadalcanal. At one point they found two islanders who had drifted over 700 miles off course in a canoe. When enemy forces landed in August 1943 and McCasker was evacuated by PBY, he brought with him the two displaced islanders, who were eventually flown back to their homeland.
