that is what the mission of the archives is all about. three units with the national archives play an important role in that, and maybe those are less well known, but let me just take them off. you have heard a lot this week about the office of the government of the information services. a member of that group is in the room. that office has been described by congress as a service for the american public for resolution of problems that they may be happening in their requests. it also has the responsibility of providing recommendations to the president on changes in the faya legislation. so an important part of access to records and open government. at the end of december, 2009, the president issued the national declassification executive order. that is a center that has been established within the archives with the responsibility of reviewing. for the classification, more than 400 million pages of classified content by the end of 2013. a huge responsibility. a massive amount of material going back to world war one. the third is the inform

i think the next clerk and the city will be much informed with having our process and having our archives to look too. >> and that is how san francisco government worked out the kinks, twists and turns, bombs in the road, to select its new interim mayor, ed lee. san francisco's first asian- american mayor. >> this has been an unprecedented and historic transition of power here in san francisco. i am so happy the board of supervisors came together to select an outstanding choice along many outstanding candidates to lead us over the next several years. >> over the past several months when this issue has come up, it had been agonizing. the board has been put into a difficult situation. there are a lot of differences of opinion on how to run the city, how to mass make a decision, who should be in place, 11 people to agree on that is a challenging thing. i think we have done the best we can do in the process, considering the difference of opinions. >> the people of san francisco can now choose their mayor, the direction they want to go. that is why this decision was so appropriate. >> the othe

we are at the national archives complex. our guest is marc ginsberg, as we discussed the military situation in libya and more broadly in the middle east. another question right up front. >> i am from thomas jefferson as well. i was wondering what your opinion was and how the middle east problems could be affected in the long run? guest: this is a very unsettling dangerous time for the united states in the middle east. we have core, a strategic interest that are being undermined while these revolutions proceed. what are those interests? the cornerstone is the bending and in forcing the egyptian is really peace treaty, camp david accords, and building a peace between israel and its neighbors. all of this is being made more difficult as a result of the revolutions in the region. we're watching 11 on slowly being annexed by hezbollah -- lebanon slowly being annexed by his belovhezbollah. and the price of oil is affecting everyone in this room and their parents, because the instability in the middle east creates instability in th
