we had zugs with lieutenant reilly. i believe pluent -- i believe unite reilly is interested, and it is my understanding this process is completed. by the way, since we're on a trial basis, the commission can determine if they want this person or not. so we told this person it will be a 90-day or 60-day trial basis. it is important it is a good fit, so you as a commission have to like the person, and frankly he has to like you, so we have also given him a way out. [laughing] >> i told lieutenant reilly i would buy him a pedestal one day because i think he is a savenlt but this swridge, quite frankly, is someone who is very skillful. we want to make sure we have someone very good. i'm not sure lieutenant reilly is fully replaceable, but i think welcome very close to it. commissioner hammer: thank you, chief. you told us there would be a -- an assistant to lieutenant reilly. i don't know if anyone knows this, he resigned a year and a half ago, and hope fle we can keep lieutenant reilly around much, much longer. he is a sa

commissioner reilly, can you help us out in terms of which of these matters might have hearing officers. i know there is one, but i think there is more. >> commissioner, you should have an overall case dock et. >> i see that. >> if you look at the last page, second page, the last group of cases, you can see -- commissioner hammer: five officers grouped and a sergeant below that? >> correct. >> right now i have three cases assigned a hearing officer. one ever those is concluded. two are set to begin. actually, four cases assigned to hearing officers. one is yet to be set. it was the chosen hearing officer is out of town. we're trying to communicate with him. >> if i -- commissioner hammer: if i could follow up. the first was concluded with the hearing officer, and this one is set for october 1? >> that's correct. >> the next one, when was that assigned? i notice there is not a hearing date yet, if you know. >> i don't have that date in front of me here. >> if it is the next meeting, lieutenant, and fellow commissioners, i think one of the things we need to track is sometimes these cases

reilly, and maybe if some flights are not prepaid, we could possibly hold the on the 18th, i would appreciate that. >> we will ask. only because -- i think we should put the retreat also because if we do not put the retreat, we will never get to this. let's try to put that one on. anything else you want to work on tonight? >> 3, the human rights commission [inaudible] >> mr. president, a point of clarification -- what we are doing in terms of the entertainment commission -- are we calendar ring that for the agenda for public hearing for next week? >> we have to ask them if they want to hold one. we were requesting them to hold a joint meeting because they may not want to do it. to make a request. >> ok, thank you for that. >> as the human rights commission said, they do not want to do it, so we have to ask them, and if they say yes, i would assume we would move to saturday. but they have to agree to do that. >> and then, we set a mutual aid. would that be a wednesday night for another night? >> probably -- we would have to figure that out as well. we have had joint meetings on other commissio

bill reilly. >> good morning. the consequences play out over a long time, often in unexpected ways. some issues undoubtably will turn out to be less severe than we had feared, and others may be worse than we had imagined. even if it is too soon to spell out the full impact on the gulf, we do recognize the immense human and economic costs that have already been experience 11 lives were lost and many more were injured. billions have been lost an tourism, fishing, oil revenues, and other elements of the gulf and economy. the psychological impact on the people in the region already traumatized by katrina and other pressures has been notable, as we saw and heard in our visits to the gulf. the continuing moratorium on deepwater drilling is taking its toll as we heard repeatedly in new orleans. before april, many of us were under the impression that the risk of an accident like this were small. that view has been shattered. what we do not yet know is whether the accident was the result of one company's missteps, bad judgment and human error in management of complex drilling technology, or

i have spoken to lieutenant reilly, i have spoken to the chief. left messages with your secretary over at 850 bryant. i left messages with the c.i.a., the f.b.i., and the guard, and nothing is hang. these things are more powerful than your handgun. these should not be on the street. over 10 or 15 miles they can send a charge. it is some kind of laser weapon, some high-tech stuff. it can even kill you. it's worse than any crime peap that you might be dealing with. i've also mentioned the fact they may be 4 target -- targeting police officers. do you understand what that means? they may be targeting police officers with that weapon. it may be in the closet. it is long-range, it is hidden. the weapon is silent. the charges they send to your mind or skin, you won't feel it. they can block out pain, sensation, and everything. make certain that you all, f.b.i., c.i.a., and the military, across the state are working on this actively every second of every day. that's the main thing to remember. working on this actively every moment of every day, because w

west will be bill reilly. the lead questioner for mr. roberts will be chancellor ulmer. >> thank you. this is a question for robinson west. i attempted to go deeply into your principles and to ask you to explain the degree to which you think practices conform to your ideals. i am not sure we have been enough time. we will spend some time drilling down into mms. you were present at the creation. there were proposals to remove or distinguish more completely the leasing and revenue collection functions by creating a new agency, like the nuclear regulatory council. do you have any he is on that? >> it makes sense for the regulatory function and safety function to be kept apart. it is a different imperatives. viewof the government's the offshore program, countries such as norway and brazil -- this is a huge part of their economy. they have highly skilled experts to look at the legal issues. they have people looking at environmental issues. in brazil and norway there has been a tremendous focus on creating local content and the industries. the

. >> until 1933 when the reilly act went into effect after the disastrous 1933 santa barbara -- >> long beach. >> destroyed elementary schools. they were brick. if the kids were in school, we would have lost thousands of kids. that banned brick construction and required seismic designs to be incorporated in buildings. >> there was a major -- there are a number of thresholds over the course of the development. the big one is in the mid '70s, but a whole threshold, series of these thresholds. many of the older buildings, like the 1 across the street have been upgraded to meet some modern standards. this is the williams building that we were talking about that is the replacement of the building that was damaged in the 1906 earthquake. it was built just like it with the plans. >> this building they were going to dynamite it. in '06, they dynamited buildings to clear the path. >> from an interesting point of view, spencer is here, this building is incorporating into the brand-new building next to it, which makes the new building an addition. it is not a new building. it is a brand-new buildi

he lost three key players in the nfl but his replacement quarterback kevin reilly is ready to go.e are many challenges ahead. i spent some time with jeff earlier. >> what keeps the fire in the belly going? after all these years. >> i love this place. i love cal i love the people associated with calla love 14, our players. the drive to get where we want to go. i know expectations are very high, no more than what we put on ourselves. we want to get there. we just continue to work at it and obviously filled these things going on. and i'm appreciative to a lot of people who stepped up to make that possible. it's another season and i'm fired up for a curator lover team i love my players right now there were card i can we get started. - >> you have a challenge my friend on the good side your cranking out nfl talent on the bad side of you keep losing them and must be tough to reload. he lost 3 to the nfl. >> that's part of the deal. i've had guys go on juniors. i'm happy for those guys if they get into a position to be a first- round round pick more power to them. >> he's done a nice job

i am very confident that my comments will receive the appropriate weight because william reilly. that is because he is a legend in the environmental justice movements. william reilly received a standing ovation from the internment of justice activist from all over the country at our last meeting with the agency was trying to get environmental justice establish at the agency. he established in our mental justice office at the end fermenta protection agency when he was the epa administrator. i have every confidence that my comments will be weighed properly. thank you. >> thank you for your very constructive and appropriate words about our co-chairman. >> i am retired speaking as a citizen, but i was the executive director of the national response team for 10 years and was investigating the exxon valdez incident. one matter for consideration would be to include in the public record the recommendations for the exxon valdez incident so that you consider the continuities that may come from that document through to the work you are doing. if you would consider that, i think perhaps it c

bill reilly. >> thank you. good morning. since our last meeting in new orleans, the gusher has been tapped. we can be grateful for that. we are, but it is hardly cause for celebration. the lesson from other spills and other disasters is that the consequences play out over a long time, often in unexpected ways. some issues will turn out to be less severe than we had feared and others, maybe worse than we had imagined. even if it is too soon to spell out the full impact on the golf, we do recognize the immense human and economic costs that have already been experienced. 11 lives were lost and many more were injured. billions have been lost in tourism, fishing, oil revenues, and other elements of the gulf economy. crux discussion from her earlier today in the hearing of regulation and oversight of offshore drilling. we will leave this and go live now to an afternoon panel on how to meet regulations. live coverage from the ronald reagan building here in washington. >> -- university of houston. a former acting director of mineral

reilly, and for mr. roberts,it will be fran comer. >> thank you. this is a question for robinson west. and i must say that i tempted to go deep into your principles which are admirable. and explain what practices conform or not conform to your suggested ideals. but i am not sure that we have time for that. we will spend some time drilling down, so to speak. >> carefully, i hope. >> you are principle and there are determinations to distinguish more completely the leasing, and revenue functions possibly by creating a new agency, like the nuclear regulatory council or to move to nova or e.p.a., do you have views on that? >> i think it makes sense for the regulatory function and the safety function to be kept apart from the leasing function. it's a different imperative. most of the governments frankly view the offshore program of their country. countries such as norway and the u.k. and brazil. the offshore industry is a huge part of their economy. and they have some highly skilled fiscal and legal experts who look at legal and tax. and they have health

i think in closing reilly, i think contrary to what we've heard from the industry, these practices seem to be standard at this point, these are not isolated incidents, these do not appear to be isolated incidents of bad actors or rogue officers. this appears to be a fairly standard practice, the blueprint which has been laid out through the safe harbors. we acknowledge that nonprofit colleges have occasionally run afoul of the incentive compensation ban, just as they sometimes run afoul of our own standards and association. for that reason we sincerely appreciate the discussion that you have started here with this hearing. we certainly appreciate the department of education's effort to tighten up the regulations and eliminate the safe harbors, and we would look forward to being a part of this discussion moving forward. thank you. >> please proceed. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify. my name is michael mccomis. let me state at the outset that any student recruiting or advertising practice that undualie induces students to enroll in an ins

reilly and myself and jack black sang a song about comedians not getting respect. audience, specifically mark and that he was such a bad--that we weren't going to mess with him. >> i was dying to do a comedy. who better to do it with? him and adam invited me to dinner and asked if i would be in the movie with them. i said, are you kidding? i didn't even read the script. >> it is an odd pairing. you have been here a lot and when you're here, mark, when you go away i think this is an intelligent, serious-minded guy and then you're here i think, he -- >> not. >> not intelligent or serious-minded? >> no. he's a buffoon. >> did you make him watch your old movies before he worked with you? >> that's required of everyone on my set, yeah. >> i thought he was owen wilson at first. >> i got used to it. >> tell me about "the other guys." what's the movie about? >> we're basically obviously two detectives that have been paired with each other. i'm someone who loves paperwork to the point of -- in fact, i don't want to go out in the field at all. mark is the opposite. he's -- b
