understand society you first have to understand the individual human being. in this he follows what is a fairly familiar to students of american political thought and british political thought the model of the state of nature, way of understanding society. let's imagine society begins with independent individuals coming together and deciding we would be better off if we lived together if there is a mutual enforcer of laws, protector of property and safety, that is how society is formed and exist for that purpose and needs to be understood entering to that purpose. any government, any society that doesn't answer to that purpose, violates our rights and doesn't protect our property, doesn't protect us properly from one another is a -- we have a right to destroy it. this is his vision. is a familiar vision, a liberal vision, and from there he begins his political thinking. that means his political thinking is very individualist, very rights based, very devoted to individual liberty as a defining principle of political life. every book start by looking at that sa

understand communication matters. with us this morning to talk about this issue in honor of november and jewish book month is haired friedman and michael lavine, a novelist most recently publishing the wanting. howard, let's jump in. the jewish community library is a library that houses books and has all sorts of programs that encouraged people to read to enjoy the imagination of writing and the relationship between a book and a writer. how do you see this issue of everdeepenning technology? >> that is a good question. the first word touched me. there's a back that came out last year -- book that came out last year called jews in the words. and they have a memorable sentence that is about jews that ours is not a blood line but a text line and they sort of locate at the center of the jewish experience, the passing on of the word of text and we see ourselves at the library very much in that tradition and i see that encounter whether it's through a written become or whether on line or whether or through e back, what we'r

their own views better, understand the views of the of the better, understand where they differ from people who i describe is maybe the origins of the own way thinking and what they don't. i think it's more useful as a presentation of what seems to have been one of the first instances of the left-right divide in a recognizable way back in attempt to try to show how the line goes from here to there. because of course the line doesn't go in a straight way. a lot has changed about the left and the right. a lot has changed about our circumstances. i would say especially a long century and more long debate about economics that they were not part of. between socialism and capitalism, they are sent are not part burke and paine debate. i think that has changed things some, but that what burke and paine to a show you where the basic disposition, the basic difference of approaches, the basic differences a definition between left and right. there are different understanding of what the liberal society is, come from and what they look like in their original form. what you point to helps to get t

i don't know that anybody understands it all but maybe somebody does if your sixth book is or are you writing the same thing over and over again well i think a lot of my mouth a lot of my theme comes out and it's god's good it's have faith it's moved forward so that some of it is but you know i'm been doing this for fourteen years and you grow you learn more you mature and i think i'm better than i am i believe i'm better than i was you know years ago so i feel like it's my best book who's it for it's for anybody that wants to just move forward it's a call it up a faith building book it's easy to get stuck in iraq and think well you know this is a good it's a good so it's just really something to give a boost in our faith and when i say faith you know have to be a religious person it's principles in there that will help you to think bigger to have the right perspective things like that so someone can use this book without being a church go without being religious i think so many people watch that or like that the book deals was self-imposed limitations you put limitations on yourself

i don't understand that procedure, and maybe someone can explain this to me. i see, a series of rather serious allegations against the high level official in the public utilities commission saying that she violated several aspects of conflict of interest, working at a paid commission at another job and lobbied the public utilities commission to give contracts that she worked for which would have aamounted to $250,000 that she would have been a beneficiary of that and i wind up agreeing with the stipulation and i have no problem with it and obviously underlying it, our staff must have done a fine job of working on it with the fppc. and in bringing about this stimulation. but, why is it that something like this comes to us, and without telling the public and i think that the education of the public, and on this, a high level public utilities officials lobbying her own agency for $200,000 for lobbying for a company that she works for and that is fairly significant in terms of conflict of interest and we should be delving into it and the staff must have to come up

, the public can understand it as well. each one of those methods measured against those goals and objective and where it sitses, where you will get the solid fwox you will get the strongest and you are achieving the most amount of objectives helps you then get a tangent and not just the numbers but the human aspect and the real aspect of this delivery method and these are two things that we would say we would recommend for you to say go forward with this kind of analysis and you become more informed of what it will be and how it could work, and with that i will stop and i will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you. >> we do actually appreciate the speed. eny know. >> but it was a lot of information, so i do appreciate that. >> why don't we start with, just it is a question, and it is, it is probably something to be studied, but curious if you had initial thoughts? >> so, with dtx, connecting with the cal train system. which it appears that it will be electrified before dtx happens and so the boar

that and i appreciate it very much what was said and i understand that whole argument. it's absolutely fair to say but i am charged with one role to maximize assets of the trust and find the money and bring it to your attention. now, fully insured -- you could do that and we could see that or see if there is money to put it in the trust and is this better for kaiser in the long run? i will answer that question. you didn't ask that. kaiser's preference is still fully insured and run their organization that way as one big kaiser family, not we take advantage of this and do that and i want that on public record that is absolutely -- and i can say that without looking to kaiser and that's their prerogative so with that do you want me to look at it or stick with fully insured or this and there isn't a lot of difference between the two and it's up to you guys to decide what you want to do. >>

so, i really would like to understand the impact of this decision. and thank you, supervisor campos, for proposing that we move on to public comment in order to allow more time to do that. >> supervisor avalos, any final comment before we go to public comment? >> let's go into public comment. i know mr. chafee is waiting very patiently to speak first on the mic and we'll presume after. >> i do want to acknowledge our deputy city attorney. i understand you need to leave at 5 o'clock. are there any final comments you would like to make? >> deputy city attorney jon givner. i unfortunately have to leave the meeting at 5:00. one of my very capable colleagues has volunteered to take my place. but in response to supervisor breed's question about where these amendments are, we have not drafted all of the amendments because they have been coming at the board today, some for the first time. but they are all changes to one specific paragraph in each ordinance. it's the paragraph regarding the -- regarding eviction. and in the demolition merger conversion ordina

to understand the individual human being. in this he follows what is the fairly familiar to students of american political thought and british political thought very the model of the state of nature the way of understanding society so let's imagine society begins with independent individuals coming together and deciding we would be a lot better off if we live together, if there's a mutual enforcer laws and a protector of property and safety. that is how societies form. they answer to that purpose and every government in any society that doesn't answer that part is that violates her rights and doesn't protect their property and doesn't protect us properly from one another is an illegitimate government and we have a right to overthrow it. this is basically his vision. it's the liberal vision and awlaki and sort of vision and from there he begins his political thinking. so that means his political thinking is very individualist, it's very rights-based and it is devoted to the idea of individual liberty is this defining principle

is a function of human beings, many human beings together and so understand society you have to understand the human being. and this follows what is a fairly familiar to students of american political thought and british political thought to be the model of the state of understanding society so let's imagine society begins with independent individuals coming together and deciding we would be a lot better off if we lived together, if there was a mutual enforcer of the law that would protect the safety. that is how the societies for me and it exists in that purpose and has to be understood as answering to that purpose that any government and society that doesn't answer to that purpose and it violates our right doesn't protect our property from one another. it is an illegitimate government. it is a familiar vision and it's a liberal vision and it is a sort of lockean vision. and from there he begins his political thinking so that means his political thinking is very individualistic and jerry wright space and is devoted to the idea of individual liberty as a kind of defining political life. he

i said, well, i'll make you understand later. he said, i cannot understand, every you go people say this is malala and they give you an award. what have you done? so he is still trying to understand. >> just my annoying sister who won't give me my ipad. i understand there's a friendly competition between you two about who is to be prime minister and who is to be the secretary. who is winning that one? >> my brother in the middle, my -- both of my brothers are younger than me. my brother in the middle, he doesn't speak a lot. he just plays on xbox. that's his job. i think -- i know that it's not for underrating the game, but -- [laughter] >> and the little brother, he is like a -- i hope there's no lawyer here. he is like a lawyer -- >> oh, no, no lawyers here. >> he is like a lawyer. whenever i fight with him, he can just change his style of his talking, he can just change his emotions and he can just -- like -- then i feel guilty, was i really hard upon him? what was i really cruel? and he just makes me feel that. so that's why

i understand. i understand speaking in tongues. i understand the passion and the end time but how does that translate into like killing people for who they are? that was amazing to america i said i grew up in the church so i want to understand -- i want to understand what your -- what is behind all this? why uganda? >> jon: was there any part? i'm curious. they clearly have taken a stance against -- in the movie homosexuality three things, homosexuality, abortion and islam. >> the threat of islam. >> jon: sorry not islam but the threat of islam. they've taken a stand against this. christians are persecuted in certain places certainly like north korea and that. are they aware of irony of persecuting people for who they are white fighting against persecution for themselves because of who they are? >> i don't think there's any self awareness. >> jon: that never came -- that never? >> i think they are so driven by what they consider biblical law. by the end times about eradicating sin, that's that is what drives them. >> jon: the idea

we want to understand how the brain works. we want to understand disease states. we want to understand how mental functions have an impact on other aspects of society. for example, how do people respond to a work of art? what is it about music that moves you in a certain way? >> to understand what makes us human. >> that is right. >> i assume part of this is not the mapping thing, but maybe it is, the connection between neurons. >> they are not looking at this level with the mri at the connections between neurons. we are looking at the connections between regions and information flow and the direction of information flow. other people are looking at the connections between neurons more in mice and fruit flies. >> one is systematically mapping the brain of the fruit fly and is combining this with behavior. what we talked about the last time, this is what you are seeing in action. people are doing things that they did before, more systematically and collaboratively to push this forward. >> are they getting more money? >> no. the money is embarrassing. >> are you tal

we understand that. that's why we're working as quickly as we can to identify the victims and give them peace of mind. we understand that. we would like to give all the support that we have from law enforcement, local, state and federal level. we'll take a few questions. >> can you provide the genders? >> i cannot provide the genders or the ages. >> police chief, can you describe where does this exactly happen in the food court and what types of weapons. >> i didn't say it was a food court. i said it was in the upper level at a store. i won't identify the store right now. >> what types of weapons were recovered? >> again, we have not gotten our investigators in to identify all that. >> is there true that there was a domestic issue involved here. >> we don't know the motive yet. i understand the question and the interest in it, but understand our position. >> you have been speaking to witnesses. do they give an educatio indicat there was an argument, people knew each other, or a random event where people

student-athletes understand it but only to a certain extent. beyond that they're not capable of understanding that there are such huge odds in playing in basketball or football. what they're doing is they're on the court, and their minds are focused on playing. to go back to what john said, it doesn't start in high school but middle school. you're stuck in a system in a combine up until you're released. your train of thought is perpetuated over time so that you can continuously believe that you can make it. so it's very, very difficult to remove yourself from the reality that is not there. >> well, our community is chiming in. reilly said. >> we've got david who said, i feel so story for these student-athletes >> we have a video comment from brook. >> i went to a top ten university, at times it felt as though academic counselors were focused on me maintaining performance and eligibility by all means. keepin if your parents are hands-on its easy to fall in the short-term as well. academic counselorrers need to sit down with the athletes and enco

how do i get an understanding of it?en it comes to language understanding, where would you say we are right now? are we at the toddler or adult stage? we have seen things go from watson to siri. >> it is not like that. if you do something sophisticated that would take a smart person hours or weeks to stitch together and figure out and then in other areas it will seem really stupid. computers process the data very differently than humans do. i think one of the interesting going forward is in dutch is can we get more of a convergence and machines to think more like humans? can the process data in a similar way? we are not there yet. there's a lot of work to do. >> this is something you think about a lot in terms of contemplating the future. >> we think a lot of the intersection between people asking computers questions and asking them for advice immersing the computers being really proactive and recognizing the context and say i know you do not ask me for anything but i sensed something was going on. >> and tuning into tha

we haven't had a chance to understand that. i would like to understand that from greater detail. as far as finance, this is more than doubling of rent. i understand it's the current market rate, but a massive increase per employee and maybe it's all necessary and valid and so forth. but from my perspective i would like to have more time to evaluate that. i'm happy, we are going to have to take public comment. if my colleagues have different thoughts, that's fine. supervisor john avalos: i would like to come visit the retirement board site. i have been there since 2008. i would like to check it out especially in light of the decision that we have before us. prior to approval of a lease. >> be happy to arrange that or you can just show up and say that you are here to see the operations and the public area. supervisor john avalos: i will have the staff reach out. >> if it wasn't for the brown act we can do a field trip. i'm sure we'll be down there in the next few weeks. colleagues any questions? okay, at this point we'll open it up for public comment. anyone wish to comment on no.

i can't support something that i don't completely understand the impacts. i don't understand this. for example, when we talk about the signatures that are needed from a tenant and owner, does it need to be notarized? do we need to specify that in the resolution? terms of alterations, i guess that that means alterations as it relates to completely changing. i don't understand the specifications of some of the codes in the resolution to understand what we're speaking to in terms of the alterations. and also, i just want to -- there is just a lot of confusion right now. and i want to understand this legislation, but i don't completely fully understand the impact and how this could help with what we're experiencing. and, so, i just really -- i need some more time and that's where i'm at and that's pretty much unfortunately where i'm at today. >> supervisor breed, are you making a motion to continue or just stating that -- your perspective? >> well, i mean, i don't know -- i don't know if i'm the only one who feels this way, but i want to hear what others have to say. but i just -- if i

i don't understand how at&t can claim that they were denied a permit when all the dpw did was suggest that they go back and look for an alternative location at which time when they find one that works a permit will be granned granted so i find their argument strange and don't understand why they made the appeal in this manner anyway. that's all i wanted to add. >> thank you. all right. >> you want to allow time now for -- >> we have a public speaker. >> thanks. >> i'm addressing the issue at 620 and the issues are similar to what this previous speaker said. we were in the midst of trying to finds alternative locations when we were surprised. in fact, mark even instructed his people to work with us and then cut him off and next thing we knew there was an appeal so we -- that's basically the situation and we had some ideas, but those ideas have yet to be vetted. we've never had an opportunity to have secondary conversations. >> thank you. any other public comment? okay. >> i'm mark with at&t. i withdraw the that dpw administers. each one of those sections explicitly states that -- >> ca

the culture and the people and to understand what war did to the local people. it was a more intellectual probing war for him than the average grunt. >> my dad was actually 21 when he met mr. salinger. >> the four gentlemen you see here, they refer to each other as the four muskateers. there is really a bond. my dad used to comment that they would say there is no time for us to do anything because we had to stop to sit by the roadside working on short stories or his fofl. my father took the only photo that anybody has ever seen of the writing of "catcher in the rye." >> joining us on air and online, we will report on the discovery of a speech the late civil right s. >> newshour weekend is made possible by -- corporate funding is provided by mutual of america. that's why we're your retirement company. additional support is provided by -- and by the corporation for public broadcasting and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >> buddhism

because it is a little bit difficult to understand how someone like her does not understand what she is doing when she is accepting $17,000 from an entity that is engaging in a $200,000 contract with puc. >> that is a very legitimate question to ask and so it is a combination of, you know, the staff interviews with the respondent and the superiors, and you know, and in making a judgment call based on those and it is also, a determination that there isn't and we don't have any way to believe that there is any credible evidence otherwise. >> and there is not that we know of, and to find evidence that there was not intent to deceive. and i guess that you are making credibility and determinations based on how she answers the questions and what the evidence is before you, and so i am curious about what she said, or what evidence she presented to you to indicate that this was somehow accidental, or just negligent and not deliberate. >> the basic presentation that she made was that she was just completely oblivious that it would make a conflict of interest and that one of superiors were awa

so we need to understand the technical details. how a code is secured over as well as the market side and that will lead us to understanding the government side. >> we got time for one last question before next panel. >> hi three of breast cancer and i'm an attorney in town also. so my question is about resources and i'm thinking of the post-9/11 era when we talk about major tax and there's a lot of talk about hardening soft targets and what we do but people going into shopping malls and shooting people. they want up saying there's not much we can execute a hard in those targets. fortunately we haven't seen as many attacks as there could be. here if this is a good analogy the problem is there's a lot of of -- to those soft targets. someone who wants my credit card can get it from target and they can get it from the cupcake store or amazon.com. i'm wondering do we have the resources in the soft targets that we need to and if we don't what is that mean? >> i will jump in on the example of the military implication of this and please w

they assured us and that became part of the memorandum of understanding and i don't understand why that hasn't been enforced. final thing i want to say is that at&t has petitioned the fcc go out of the land line business by 2020. these boxes are based on communication with existing land lines. what's going to happen when they go out of the land line business? thank you. supervisor scott weiner: thank you. next speaker. >>> my name is rochel clayton with district 5. thank you. i wanted to say for the issue about best solutions and alternatives. you mentioned the fact that new technology for the city and that the technology should be upgraded and renovated. first off, at&t is still working on 100-year wiring copper wiring versus u verse technology. last year they decided to phase out copper wiring in 22 states. not sure if california is onefer those. the disadvantage is that we have dwellings that are built in 1900s that have the same undergone, if you haven't undergone any rewiring it's still operating on the same wiring of the 1900s. that means that at&t assures that the old technology

personally by have the understanding that. a potential member country of the european union it would be very hard very evil crain joins the union sooner or later because as long as we doesn't join we have the whole. of the european construction but of course we have to first of all to wait and respect what the ukrainian people who decides and decisions. are not taken by demonstrations in the streets are taken by voting in elections and by. giving the opportunity to the government and the problem in the charter of the representation of the people giving them the possibility to decide what we hope that. the sooner the better the majority of the parliament will be to say the majority of the people makes a clear choice to. join the european union meanwhile the only thing we may expect is that the ukrainians themselves. parties government and opposition find necessary understanding and especially the necessary primate to define. their future also in what respects the connections with the european union well you're saying q craniums

>> that's my understanding. they would have to tell you their procedures. >> and perhaps that's a good action this committee would be to meet with those people and find out where they're going and what they're finding out. does your incident response team, in terms of taking up his allegations to look to see with undermine it must have looked his age can trace back on the site where it may originate over the site is hosted? >> yes or. we all trace back will recall the debate and control, all the elements of the attack as best as we can and then we will share that with dhs, law enforcement and others as appropriate. >> do you think if the right people investigating this they would be to locate or find who these people are? >> it's possible that these things are fairly mercurial. ip addresses are rapidly changing as websites come up and down pretty often. the reality is though that very often they are found spend it's because of that material aspect, cosseted backstage of the need for layered security, correct? >>

to understand societies first have to understand the individual. in this he follows what is a fairly familiar to students of american political thought in british political thought. the model of the state of which are -- nature so let's hunt imagine nature begins with independent individuals coming together and deciding we would be a lot better off if we lived together if there was a mutual and force her applause and a protector of property and safety. it exists for that purpose so it has to be understood is that purpose read in a society that doesn't answer to that purpose violates her rights and doesn't protect our property. doesn't protect is properly from one another as an illegitimate government and we have a right to overthrow it. this is basically his vision. it's a liberal vision varied its awlaki and sorted vision and from there he begins his political thinking. his political thinking is very individualist and very right space and devoted to the idea of individual liberty is the defining principle of political life. burke starts by looking

i think it's fortunate understand -- important to understand that. when you take a look at the food system, sugar is really all over our food system. and as was mentioned previously about half of those sugars come from beverages. when you take a look at the beverages, soda contributes to the added sugar in our diets. when you -- calories from beverages that we drink often don't displace the calories that you might eat. so you will add those calories next to that burger and fries and again it has to do with your if physiological response where a drink may make you feel hungry. and from an environmental perspective when you look at the setting we are living in when mcdonald's introduced it's first coke was 7 ounces and now you can go to 7-eleven and get 128-ounce gulp. you can also take a look at pricing and the prices for healthy food and fruits and vegetables have south -- courting -- according to the consumer price index and coupled with the fact that your body craves it, it's something of an important dynamic that's going on here. we can see that o

a, you know, that ice skating rink i understand is still there and i understand that this shooting mayave happened near that location, or that some evidence was located near that location in the rink? is that true? >> well, there -- it happened in a store on the second level of the mall, and it's kind of a skateboard shop, and you know, a lot of the discussion about the food court makes sense, because it's a store that's essentially right above the food court. there's a big escalator that goes right up from the food court to where this store is. so the sounds probably appeared to people to be taken place in the food court. if you can imagine, you've been there. it's a large mall that would have been packed at 11:15 on a saturday morning, and it caused a lot of, a very scary incident. >> and at this point, what do you see in terms of trying to, you know, piece together these events and -- doing what you can as a county executive, you know, to ensure people in that area, and other places, you know, how do you make a public place like a shopping mall a safe place? it's presumably one of t

they are not aliens that do not understand the way that you speak or don't understand words.hey are intelligent beings. i mean, you can talk to young people. i implore you all to talk to young people. >> yeah, i mean, i actually found young people very receptive. first of all, a lot of people are still alive because it was not that long ago. that's one of the very important things to remember, fifty years is not that long. my 6-year-old son wants to know about segregation and signs, whatnot, he's around that age, i point him to his grandfather and grandmother. his grandmother saw king's speech, and grandfather grew up in atlanta, both grew up in the south. this is living history. really, to -- young people are -- they have a keen interest in history, and there's two reasons i think why the way in which it's presented to them can be a turnoff. one is these people did all this. what are you doing? useless bunch of people. you know? where's your rosa parks? i marched. you have pants hanging down listening to rap music. >> then we get arrested when we buy a belt. [laughter] [appl

i feel that we have a better understanding of each other and working relationship. you have very high expectations of kaiser permanente and you have worthy goals as a board and as a staff and for the industry. we believe that we are part of that solution and we want to help you further achieve your goals. thank you for having us as a partner and we look forward to the next several months working together. >> i would really add to that and say this was a difficult task. we started with difference of opinions, business needs that not align in some areas and in some areas very far apart in the discussions but kaiser brought in strong and experienced representatives to the table. hss benefited from having both and commissioner scott and president breslin at some of the key and participating in the meetings and kaiser and discussing every issue. discussioning this with the executive leadership demonstrated a these negotiations and positive with the health system. i think we leave this phase of the negotiations with very high level of confidence that we will refine a posi

>> you understand. >> you understand as well. [laughter] >> so i apologize. >> and so do you want to talk about getting paid for the faster service. >> and so otherwise insurance can connect their images along. >> when it comes to paragraph 76, and they didn't say that it would never be allowed. and they said given section 706 they didn't want to do this. because if verizon could do it, what they would have an incentive to do is to create congestion and attractive jam and so i understand why the commission had developed all these tools. a double purpose of the rules was to ensure that all of this was provided with free assets. then disallow the digital part of this to survive. >> and i think the answer of this was part of the situation. you have to look at this in the context of this is not actually a relationship. and i want to make sure that you understand that it is not that cents. and what i haven't heard is the condition and there is an easy fact of what you think and there was a classic carrier that was self-described and t

there is a nice graphic to help you understand it. what the past administrations have been successful in doing is working to make sure that this is not a purely american question. at the same time, the organizational questions of who is going to be in charge globally is a question of international diplomacy, with people lobbying on either side. >> part of the challenge when it comes to the policy is to keywords, ignorance and in balance. balance -- and imbalance. can make theo policy decisions are not equipped to deal with these issues. we have all the wonderful and great anecdotes on this in the it is a senior diplomat about to go to negotiate with the chinese on internet issues, who asked us what and i at -- what an isp was . this but my mocking mom does not know what an isp is and does know what and i cpm is. icpm is. former deputy of homeland security had talked about how she had not used social media for over a decade. you have that level of ignorance. it is just there. the imbalance site is also there. this may be as big a polic

how we understand history, understanding where we are now, i consider that an open fight worth waging. there was a funny thing in belfast last week at a festival and i was being interviewed on the radio, quick interview. i got my 45 seconds of talking and the woman wrapping up and barack obama is now the legacy built on martin luther king. and like african war supply. you never get it all. but you have to try. >> let me read our first question. this person rights if the dream was an attractive metaphor for the end of apartheid, what would be a metaphor for the end of contemporary white supremacy? a second question, what is today's statement commensurate with i have a dream? >> the question is can i come up with something that lasted 50 years? one of the things that is worth questioning actually is misappropriated. and it was the only man for the -- was remembered. the states the we are in now, the globalization, systemic as opposed to systematic, more systemic as opposed to systematic form of racism doesn't lend itself easily to metaphors. fat that has kind of been one of the challeng

they didn't understand what we meant. we said how do you feel about a candidate who proposes to fight big government? they were like the windows are too big, what are you talking about. for young voters big isn't scary. big is getting a million followers on twitter and being able to send a message to them in an instant. what is scary is an intrusive government. it's about the language we use to describe this. if we talk about reducing spending. the things we mean when we say big government. we just say them differently to younger voters in a language that is relevant to them. what matters is just talking to younger voters. it's just a basic tenant of human interaction. if someone isn't talking to you, they don't think you care about them much. we need to talk to younger voters. [applause] >> you have effectively used the prolife message to resonate with voters. you want to talk about that a little bit? >> i have the opportunity in the senate to sponsor a lot of bills, i do education policies, and tort reform. the pro-life

and united states understand the importance of this alliance and understand the importance in relationto peace and security in northeast asia and how strong this alliance can be in the realm of peace and security. as some of us have talked about, you know, the u.s. during the time i was there was primarily focused on the middle east, what was going on and area in afghanistan and not part of the world. to be able to say look what is happening here and if we want to maintain peace and security, the alliance going on within korea is important not just the korean peninsula, but the entire region. that took a lot of work not just by me, but kathy stevens, other diplomatic folks that are there and i am convinced are not completely realize what the ships come in to rebalance in the pacific as we are as i said earlier, putting our money where our mouth is that this is an important region to us. what is the best memory is along the same line as a personal relationship and personal friendships that for general tilelli and myself go back to name 296 and still have friends reestablished and i spea
