The Darfur Peace and Accountability Act (H.R. 3127/S. 1462) or DPAA restates the United States government's position that the Darfur conflict constitutes genocide, asks the government to expand the African Union peacekeeping force in Darfur (AMIS) and give the force a stronger mandate, including more generous logistical support. It also directs the government to assist the International Criminal Court to bring justice to those guilty of war crimes in Darfur, Sudan. It was passed by the House and Senate and signed into law by President Bush on 13 October 2006 along with a companion executive order.
The House's DPAA bill (H.R. 3127) was introduced on June 30, 2005, by Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL). There were 162 co-sponsors of the bill. H.R. 3127 passed in the House 416 to 3 on 5 April 2006.
The Senate's DPAA bill (S. 1462) was introduced on 21 July 2005, by Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS). There were 38 senators who co-sponsored the bill. S. 1462 was passed by the Senate by unanimous consent on 18 November 2005, with some alterations.
Catherine Kaye "Cat" Greenleaf (born March 13, 1972, Mamaroneck, New York) is host of "Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf" on NY Nonstop and WNBC. She films the show from her front stoop in Brooklyn. This distinct combination of her stoop and sipping coffee with celebrities gives a causal comfortable atmosphere, and allows her guests to really open up.
Greenleaf's signature look goes right along with the causal atmosphere she gives her show. She is always wearing sneakers, even with dresses. In an interview with Better Homes and Garden, Greenleaf said, "...Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Tally gave them his stamp of approval, saying that they were an American classic, just like me. His words gave me the confidence to be myself."
Talk Stoop is now airing in nine cities (NY, DC, Chicago, Philly, Miami, Dallas, LA, San Francisco, and San Diego). Between broadcast, digital, and out-of-home platforms like screens in cabs and on gas pumps, Talk Stoop is viewed nearly 13 million times a week
Greenleaf also served as a features reporter for WNBC, providing human-interest reports for the station's highest rated morning program "Today In New York" and other NBC New York news programs.
