point do we have flexibility to add in more up-to-date topics? not only commissioner courtney may have an issue, but given this administration, we may want to highlight another component which is a lower level. i want to see what type of flexibility we have, because this is sort of the building block, but there may be an opportunity to take a deeper dive in certain areas. so maybe what we can do is come back as part of this and get some commitment in areas where we want to take a deeper dive and we have that flexibility. >> certainly. i think that's still possible and wouldn't hold up moving forward today. i think we can come back and be specific where the touch points should go deeper and for review

and lay it out in a timeline going forward, four years on this agreement. >> commissioner vietor: i concur with what's been said and i appreciate your efforts, because i think it's a very exciting project with a lot of potential. let me add on to whatever it looks like, but i know we've had some conversations around the watershed center and at some point, i would like to have a better understanding of the opportunity that this might present to really develop and update that curriculum, that water center, in alignment with the basic building blocks. and understanding that they might, again, have different add-on criteria or requests because of the unique nature of that facility. as we're talking curriculum and salmon integration, and may be

able to pull that out and look at what is going on with sunol as well. >> absolutely. one of our main goals with the big ideas was it have a framework that applied beyond city and county and applied regionally and we would love to partner on the waterside with the watershed. >> i want to make sure. as you know, part of the program is that we're trying to have field trips to different locations. and so one is the cottage hill learning. and so that's one of the things that we're supporting, because it represents what we're doing. it could be -- sunol is pretty far, but as you are working on the curriculum at sunol as well, definitely would like to get some thoughts of how we can

incorporate that. trying to travel to the school district, buses -- >> getting kids out to college hill, some of our sites, to see our watershed as part of the curriculum and learning experience, is part of the experience. it feels like there could be an opportunity. but it's the opportunity to talk about the other projects and move it more regionally. it's incumbent on staff and that planning that there's a lot of interest to build out the programming. >> the next opportunity we can update or present, we can be clear and lay out how we see those opportunities, whether it be field trips, tours, with all of our assets, regionally, not

just here in the city. we're certainly thinking about it. >> i will appeal to my colleagues. it's not the kind of thing where we had a development project on the waterfront and it was signed, sealed and delivered and then people said, we have to build housing there. this is something that i take seriously when you talk about the citizens, children and the public school system. 56,000, that ain't a small number. and i think what i have heard and i will stand corrected, nobody here -- and we're policy makers -- thought they were part of that process. what causes me a little bit of frustration is that we did take it upon ourselves to get involved in this conversation specifically with respect to big ideas. this is over a year ago. this was over a year ago that we had that first conovversation a we got really nothing but fram

staff except for the same thing we started to talk about it. and yet i'm supposed to believe that i'm a policymaker or at least i should know what the policy is. i cannot emphasize enough how much i truly believe that animal agriculture is probably the biggest threat to the environment and our water system as we know it. when you are talking about 56,000 little minds and impressions, i'm really disappointed -- that's not a little thing. it's a really, really big thing, but we'll talk offline about how to collect some of that data. but it's $370,000. it's four years. at some point, we're supposed to feel like we're a part of that conversation. that's my appeal to my colleagues. >> commissioner vietor: i can't imagine that it wouldn't automatically be part of the

curriculum. if you want to put it in specifically, fine, but i would imagine, having a background in science myself, my undergraduate is biology, that that would be part of the overall eight years of education. >> if i may, commissioner courtney, you are speaking to an issue that's near and dear to my heart. prior to joining the p.u.c., my work was food and ag. i understand your plea. >> commissioner courtney: then just do it. >> we will work on it. and commissioner, there are ways that are touch points. we mentioned our college hill learning garden. there is curriculum there where based around animal husbandry, that gets at the principles of how the environment is affected

by the food choices we make. how we raise our animals, etc. that curriculum is based kindergarten through 5th grade. so it's pretty simplistic terms. up to 12th grade. that's where it comes into the s.t.e.m. and science background that blair was describing when we talk about pollution in our waterways. it's there. and it may not be packaged the way we would like to see it, so we'll continue to work on that, but it's very much a part already. >> commissioner courtney: it's important enough to belabor the point. corporate interests are infiltrating our school system and minds of our future leaders. that's a fact. now that i know that you know, a lot of this stuff is wickedly politically charged. so the organizations that we usually think are guarding against wrongdoers, evildoers, they're not in the game, whether

it's sierra club or whatever it is. government still has a role to play with the children. this is government. that's why i'm raising it. again, i'm deferring to commissioner vietor, but the point that we have real dialogue about how we're going to influence young minds with legitimate impressions -- and not just hope that the teachers put it in front of them, but know it's part of our big ideas. that's when i will feel like we've accomplished something that's legitimate in terms of a policy objective. >> understood. >> commissioner moran: and you actually touched on something that i was going to bring up, but i will reinforce it. k-12 is a huge range of information, interest, and ability to delve into significant issues in a meaningful way. and i guess my hope would be that the curriculum that applies to the upper grades have the

kind of substance attached to them that can get into those, those kind of issues that commissioner courtney is talking about. >> president kwon: i will add a closing comment here. as a parent of two sfusd kids, it's awesome. harlan and i were talking over lunch about how in chicago kids didn't know where milk came from. for a kid that lives in the city that doesn't know that, there's a big opportunity to know that. >> commissioner moran: it comes from almonds. >> president kwon: it's all about more important. concepts like land use, water, it's esoteric, but in san francisco, there's terrific hands-on application. so i think this work is important. to vice president courtney's comment, things like where the

water comes in the tap and where it goes when you flush the toilet, that's 101. now 201, there's a website called planet vision, put together by folks at my day job that talk about the solutions. the whole idea is starting with basic building blocks of information. i'm not a scientist, obviously, but once you build on that, you can say, eat less meat. don't waste food. in the public schools at this age early, early on, instills in them, not just a value system, but a working understanding of where they're at. the idea of field trips is terrific. if they can go see these things, it's hand-on. it's bold to do. it's a rare opportunity to do this. i'm glad that the team has been prepared to get in there while the curriculum is being rewritten. the next generation of science

standards are something that we want to differentstill down to youth. and i read the news booklet. thank you. that's our discussion here. >> i want to make sure we're clear. so when is the next touch point where we talk to the school and get a better idea of what their planning for the curriculum? i want to make sure that i give the commission an opportunity to really think about what else we need to -- it would be nice to incorporate it and then we need to work with them to find out age-appropriateness, maybe some basic concepts early on and then more detail later on. so when do you think that next touch point will be? >> certainly.

if this item were to pass, i will defer a little bit to blair on specifics, but it would be in this upcoming year, where the ramp-up period would begin. do you have anything to add? >> yes. we've been speaking with sfusd for many, many months in the development of this proposal and potential partnership. and they've been thoughtful as to how to role this out, as you mentioned, commissioner moran, it's a wide range of ages. so how do you integrate this into the young ages and the older ages? and to understand how complex it is to roll it out to 56,000 students and so they have a thoughtful process in which they will draft the curriculum. it will be reviewed by sfpuc staff. it will be piloted at a few schools. and then they will gather feedback and then it will be rolled out to the rest of the

cohort the p.u.c. will be able to give a good idea of direction and working with our sfpuc experts when they're integrating these concepts. >> if i were to maybe ask the commission, you know, through the president, that we have an animal waste -- animal agriculture, we have that. commissioner caen would like to -- maybe we can identify her as the person, if you want to kind of see -- or do you want them to come up and -- i don't know how many curriculums that they will send to us. i'm trying to get a process where we involve the commission more on what we're presenting to folks. >> i appreciate that clarity. i think what will be easiest is if this item were to pass, we

can come back to you with a timeline over the next year of implementation and ramp-up where we pinpoint the moments that blair was mentioning that the school district is giving their starting point to us. we're making sure we're integrating key components and go from there. we can lay out a timeline over the next year once we have the authority to move forward with this. we would need to work hand in hand with the school district to make sure that timeline will work for them. >> what if we try maybe for the -- when do you think we can provide that? maybe we can put it on the commission agenda in the next couple of agendas or meetings? >> provided this passes and when have the authority to move forward on this, yes, i think a couple of weeks to a month would be reasonable for us to come back. >> so if this passed, then in a month, you would come up with a timeline and have communicated with the school district and

maybe bring someone from the school district to hear from the commission? >> if that's what -- if that would be happyful, we can do that. or we can have meetings offline. we can work with what works best for the commission, but we would want the authority to move forward. >> commissioner moller caen: i know it's summer. i'm working on a big project with oakland unified. and it's pretty dark over there right now because the teachers and administrators are out. so want to put that out there. i don't know if it makes more sense to wait a couple of months or if you feel like you would have enough to present. >> i believe we can present that in short order. we've got in the body of the grant what will happen over each of the next four years and that's in the body of the grant, but we can come back with a

condensed version in the next commission or two. >> so this coming fall, will certain schools in sf unified be using this curriculum? >> if this were to pass, we would work with them right away it develop that curriculum and they would begin piloting probably in the spring. >> so i will make one last comment on this. i would urge my fellow commissioners of being in a role of informed rather than consulted. i want to let the educators put together the curriculum and we have to put a wick on it so they can move on this. with our backgrounds we can inform the process, but i don't want to cause too much of a vetting process where curriculum is delayed.

nature bridge field trips have changed. early on, they talked about watershed, bio diversity, etc., but they've changed to food waste under the auspices of water conservation. they try to get the kids to get the food waste down to under 1 pound, then under 1/2 pound. and they talk exactly about how they use it. they did stick something in there about meat. i am from chicago. i like my steak. i'm sorry, but we learned, too, that when you consume things like red meat, it has an impact on the environment. they use more water, more resources, than normal. those are complex topics to get through to a third grader, second grader. but not to take too much mac and cheese and throw it in the garbage, that's a simple way to do it. that's a parental note. but i would urge the commission that we try to pave the way and remove barriers and understand that you take our comments into

the account. so we appreciate your understanding in taking our comments here. with that, before we take our vote -- we need a motion. >> i'd like to move the item. >> second. >> president kwon: any public comment before we take a vote? all in favor? opposed? it's approved. >> commissioner moran: i was looking at our website. i could not find a link to the framework document. so if -- >> sfwater.org/bigideas. >> commissioner moran: okay. >> president kwon: next item. >> clerk: item 13. approve amendment number 3 to agreement cs-242a with baseline environmental consulting agreement cs-242b and esa orion

joint venture and agreement cs-242c with urs corporation americas to continue to provide agreements and cs-242a-c to increase each by $4 million to not to exceed $9.6 million per and cs-242c only to execute a name from from urs corporation americas to urs corporation. >> irena tory. i think the item is pretty clear. so unless you want a presentation, i'm here to just answer any -- >> i will move the item. >> second. >> president kwon: public comment? all in favor. opposed? approved. thank you. next item. >> clerk: item 14 approve and authorize the general manager to

execute an assignment and assumption agreement for cs-242d from rmc water and environment to woodard & curran and approve $4 million to not to exceed $9.6 million. >> i move this one as well. >> second. >> president kwon: any public comment? all in favor? opposed? approved. next item, please. item 15. approve amend manned no 5 to cs-716 authorize g.m. to excuse increasing by $2,415,000 for an agreement of $30,915,000 and extending the term by 13 months for agreement duration of 16 years, 10 months. >> i move approval.

>> second. >> president kwon: before we vote, any public comment on item 15? with that, all in favor? opposed? approved. item 16, other commission new business. anything, commissioners? okay. with that, this meeting is adjourned. thank you, all, for your time. was asked to do is water system improvement program and one thing i looked at is about the

4.8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. we looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscan's and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local san francisco lb program. so, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. >> i was on the first committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. in the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. we wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. our

second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. >> i like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to small businesses and lots of creative ways. help the community as well. there is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. >> my faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many small businesses. [inaudible] women owned business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. it is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc.

>> everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. he got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. it completely changed his business. >> my name is nancy [inaudible] the office manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. worked on 10

plus puc, lbe contracts. today we are doing site maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. in order to be success you need to work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. >> this is a successful program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects. the sfpuc is a fortunate agency we have a lot of capital program that span over 7 counties who also to see how some businesses like [inaudible] and bio mass started as small micro businesses grow and expand and stay in the program and work on

several projects before they graduate from the program. that is what warms my heart. >> my name is college willkerson, the principle for bio mass. bio mass has been in business since 2006. 3 partners. small businesses fill a niche but apply and being a part of the program helped us be more visible and show the city and county of san francisco we can also perform services. >> this program had tremendous impact to the region. in fact, the time we rolled the program out was during the recession. this has h a major positive impact and certified over 150 firms in the rejen and collectively awarded $50 million in contracts, and because of the lbe

certification it open many opportunities to work with sfpuc. and, i significantly helped the business. it is one of the major contributors to our success. so i want to thank everyone for being here today at the civic center bart station. we are all here today because we care. we care about our commuters in san francisco, we care about the residents that visit and work in our city. we care about the people on -- the residents who live in our city. we care about civic pride here in san francisco. civic center and the bart station is at the heart of san francisco.

it is the door way to our city government and city hall, it is -- that's better. it is the doorway to the plaza, to market street and mid market, the growing part of our downtown corridor. this is the heart of san francisco. it has become unfortunately a glimpse into the homeless and behavioral health issues that we have here in san francisco. it is not safe. it is not acceptable anymore. so today i'm proud that we are announcing a partnership between our san francisco police department and part that is going to increase staffing here at civic center bart station. san francisco police department, we are going to be increasing foot patrols by over 300 hours per week. bart is also going to be increasing their staffing levels

as well. we need to make a difference for the commuters that use bart. we need to make a difference for san francisco residents and we need to make a difference for visitors who come to our beloved city of san francisco. let's also make sure to know that this is not a police matter alone. i'm proud to be joined by barbara garcia who runs our department of public health. this is also a public health issue and an issue that we are going to be dealing with through our healthy streets operation center. bart is now going to be a participant in this effort. we are going to coordinate with our homeless department, with our department of public health, with our department of public works. this will be a coordinated effort to make sure that civic center bart station once again is an area at civic center station that we can be proud of. at the end of the day this is building upon a lot of

initiatives that we have focused on over the last six months around homelessness, around behavior health on our streets, around the cleanliness of our streets. this applies to every area of san francisco as well including our bart stations and our city. civic center bart station has been the example of what has gone wrong and now our city government in partnership with bart is stepping up and making sure that we have a plan into the future that will once again make our civic center bart station an example and a symbol of pride for the residents of san francisco as they commute through here. so i want to thank everyone for being here today. i'm going to turn it over to our police chief, bill scott. >> we are increasing and chief scott can -- actually, why don't i let chief scott talk about it. >> good morning, everyone.

first of all let me thank mayor farrell for his leadership. the last month he introduced the idea that we had to collaborate better to get things done in this bart, in this platform to make it safer and make it cleaner and to make it the pride of our great city. at that time he brought all the parties together and asked us to draft a plan that would address the issues and concerns that have been repeatedly voiced by members of our community. although the platforms between our community platform and the bart platforms are shared underground in this corridor we do, between chief rojas and our folks, we knew that we had to work better and more collaboratively to get these problems solved. both riders in both systems go back and forth to school, work and visit the many great tourist attractions in our city and the idea that each system or each department is responsible for separate law enforcement duties

in this platform cannot be a barrier for us working together. the only concern that we have is that people when they come here and take public transportation that they feel safe, that they have a clean environment and that they are able to go to and from where they need to go to without worry and without concern. i agree with mayor farrell wh e wholeheartedly that the only way that will occur is all these people standing here working together. this partnership we believe will do just that. the san francisco police department, as the mayor said, we have a healthy street operation center, better known as hsoc. we use that initiative to collaborate efforts between our various city departments to address the very issues that we have in this bart station. with that we will be increasing

our footly presence almost five fold by nearly adding approximately 500 patrol hours a week to this effort. we believe that will make a tremendous impact and enable us to do what we need to do to keep this platform safe, clean and for our residents and our people that use this transportation hub to enjoy it. i'd like to thank keith carlos rojas from the bart pd who has really been a partner in this and we believe jointly that we will really make a difference in terms of realizing mayor farrell's vision to make this the safest transportation hub in this region by working together our officers will be able to respond to immediate concerns and more appropriately proactively work to identify on going behavior that we get calls about all the time that

contribute to threats to public safety. additionally, we will work in partnership with all of the city agencies and organizations under the healthy street operation center initiative that i mentioned to be able to get the individuals who need help to that help. so with that i'd like to turn this over to chief rojas and thank you this morning for being here. >> good morning. chief carlos rojas with the bart police department. i'll keep my comments brief. we are very excited with this new partnership with the san francisco police department. while historically we worked well with the san francisco police department i think this has really refocused our commitment to the civic center station that is truly the gateway to san francisco for many people. as both mayor farrell and chief scott stated this is one team and it doesn't matter if it's a san francisco patch or a bart

patch we are in it together and we want to make sure that our riders feel safe in our stations as well as throughout the city and county of san francisco. we do cover a very large area and there isn't a better partner than the city and county of san francisco so we are very excited about this. i would be remissed if i didn't also recognize our board of directors for their leadership and then allowing me to do the difficult job. director joe is with us today if you want to say a few words. >> thank you very much. member of the bart board of directors. i think it's clear that anyone who rides bart or anyone who rides muni comes off at civic center station the problems that we are seeing aboveground with homelessness with drug addiction are really coming down into our stations. bart is not a social service agency, bart is not a public health agency and the only way we can get to grips with these problems is indeed collaboration with the city of san francisco

and with the other cities and counties that we serve. that's why this is such an exciting moment because not only are we starting to collaborate much more deeply with the san francisco police department and the bart police department because ultimately our riders are not particularly concerned whose badge it is, they just want to know that they are going to be safe. we are independent -- integrating much more deeply into problems and i think that's something that's going to be critical to making sure that our riders and muni riders have the safe and clean experience that they deserve. so i'm going to hand it over to barbara garcia at the department of public health. thank you. >> good afternoon. barbara garcia, director of health. i want to thank mayor farrell for all his support in the last many months of expanding services for us. many of those services will help

individuals who people are concerned with who are seeing open drug use and mental health issues. i also want to thank the san francisco department of -- the san francisco police department and the bart police. we've been working for many months with both of these agencies to identify individuals who they have been concerned with for many years at times. we have those individuals in our hands in terms of their names and we are identifying them and trying to get to them and trying to provide support. so we really are doing an individualized approach to this and we are also looking at the issue of ensuring that today we have our homeless out reach team from our homeless department as well as our street medicine team and they will work together to make sure that we are working with individuals as they come across them in bart, leaving bart or in the surrounding areas. i'm very proud of the work and collaboration that we've done and i can tell you that we have worked and have helped

individuals that both of these entities have identified to us and it's complex work. many of these individuals have long term mental health issues. they deserve the kind of support they need. we are going to refocus on this and really provide as much support as we can to individuals. this is the end of this press conference but we are going to be taking questions, not from the podium but from the side. i want to thank all of you for coming today and being interested in this issue. thank you so much. .

>> my name is naomi kelly the single-story for the 775 i started with the city and county in 1996 working for the newly elected mayor willie brown, jr. not only the chief of staff a woman but many policy advisors that were advising him everyday their supportive and nourished and sponsored united states and excited about the future. >> my name is is jack listen and the executive director of a phil randolph institution our goal to have two pathways to sustaining a family here in san francisco and your union jobs

are stroen to do that i have this huge way to work with the community members and i think i found my calling i started in 1996 working for willie brown, jr. i worked in he's mayor's office of housing in the western edition and left 3 years went to law school of san francisco state university and mayor brown asked me to be the director of the taxicab commission and through the process i very much card by the contracting process and asked me townhouse the city purchaser and worked with me and i became the deputy administrator and . >> having trouble struggling to make ends meet folks will not understand what importance of voting is so we decided to

develop our workforce development services after a couple of years offering pathways to sustainable jobs. >> (clapping.) >> we've gotten to a place to have the folks come back and have the discussion even if participation and makes sense we do public services but we also really build strong communities when i started this job my sons were 2 and 5 now 9 and 6 i think so the need to be able to take a call from the principal of school i think that brings a whole new appreciation to being understanding of the work life balance. >> (clapping.) >> i have a very good team around me we're leader in the country when it comes to paid and retail and furiously the affordable-care act passed by 3079 we were did

leaders for the healthcare and we're in support of of the women and support. >> in my industry i feel that is male dominated a huge struggle to get my foot in the door and i feel as though that definitely needs to change this year needs to be more opportunities for i don't know women to do what tell me dream i feel that is important for us to create a in fact, network of support to young people young women can further their dreams and most interested in making sure they have the full and whatever they need to make that achieveable. >> education is important i releases it at my time of san mateo high ii come back to the university of san francisco law school and the fact i passed the

bar will open up many more doors because i feel a curve ball or an where you can in the way can't get down why is this in my way we have to figure out a solution how to move forward we can't let adversity throw in the >> hi. i am cory with san francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban

center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and

people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the code says if an earthquake happens it won't kill you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house we're in now and this shows

what it's like to be in a place safe enough to stay. it's not going to be perfect. there maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. what's it going to take to get the housing stock up to this standard? we spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are -- >> very vulnerable buildings. >> very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. >> and time to.

>> >> retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. >> what do they need? do they need information? do they need incentives? mandates? >> that's a good question. i think it starts with information. people think that new buildings are earthquake proof and don't understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake? is my building so dangers i should be afraid of being injured? so developing a ranking system for buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help

or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in san francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. >> we want the system and not just mandate everybody. >> that's right. >> i hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to the city wide resiliency. >> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question. what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't

recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and
