we had a class of about 10 but i think we lost 3. we lost 3 so we have 7 and will go back to the well. we are in the midolaffhiring process now to fill those remaining vaeckancy >> once you're staffed up to watt you are bunl budgeted for jrktss i think 35 and then because of for a variety of reasons there is a hr stat about productive time. people get sick and take leaves and go on vacations so we'll never have 100 percent of the people on the ground so i think we'll be in the 3-4 range going forward >> once you max out you'll be at 3 to 4. >> we have more overlapping hours with 4 than 3. we have 3 different shifts. we vaday shift, swing shift and grave yard shift jrfshz i think it is important to understand there are 21 shifts in a week >> this is 24/7 function >> people work 5 days a week and there are vaiications and illness. in termoffs being able toprovide the level of service that we expect of the park parole, what would the ideal staffing level be isn't how mini on duty at any gifen time >> before i give a number i would thrik

leverage over 150,000 volunteer hours to put on the event and we match the support that we get from the city with more than a 1:1 level in terms of the private dollars raised to fund the event and because there is support from the city, it will allow us to put the event up throughout the entire city and if we are relying on the private dollars we will be focusing in the places where the private dollars were interested in seeing the event but having the city support let's us work in the areas like the outer sunset and like the sxhition where there is really a chance to engage and reach out to the constituencies and so we think that it is important for the city to demonstrate the commitment. >> thank you. >> any other members of the public who wish to speak? >> seeing none, the public comment is closed. >> do we have a motion on item five? >> all right, motion by commissioner far ril to approve, and we will take that same house and same call, and item 5 is approved. >> item 6. >> rail capacity study up date. >> thank you, we have gram from the mta here. >> oh, first, maria. >> i will

>> we added-we did watch candle stick. we have eyes on candle stick at night so when it transferred to lunar and closed down we moved those rangers into our system and now have a exstre7 on the street and are in the process that will fill 3 more is what our directser of finance administration is telling me. >> that's not my question. my question really is-[inaudible] do you have other slots to fill or positions to fill? >> once we bing in the 3 more we'll be fully staffed. again, we don't have-there are reasons we wouldn't have every single fte on the ground at once. this is physical work, people do end up injured and on leave >> that is good to know because i think if we move for the budget process [inaudible] important for me to know you are capable of filling them. that is the main point here. the other set of questions is around the club houses. there are 47 of them. quite a few of them as you mentioned are being activate td by partners and each of the partners-you get rent out of it. i'm curious how much rent do we ge

we don't want that. so we changed the name. we call him the director for safe and healthy neighborhoods. while we have a public health lines, let me be clear in louisville kentucky come anthony smith is in the mayor's office because he has the power to convene like mayor greg fischer does. when anthony smith calls the director come if he needs data or information or resources they respond because the next call will be from hopefully the mayor, not for me. the point is this work is important. so we went through that. everybody showing a map and i love them and the reality is here. we know what happens. when you have a poor community, all of the worst things are happening in that community. when rich folks get a cold everybody else get the flu. i changed up a little bit. work with me. so we worked on increasing summer jobs. we had no funding for summer jobs said summer jobs, said the mayor when asked in every time he gave the speech he shamed folks into creating internships creating positions. we raise money for 1500 summer jobs

we have one. so we don't actually -- we have won so we don't actually need a global strategy.t is a question of taking advantage of eating the world's great power. charlie: what happened and what could we have done? many people see that as a crucial time between -- while the berlin wall fell in 89. between that time and you know . ian bremmer: who lost russia compares -- feels quaint compared to today. charlie: that was the time we could have done what? make them not feel like they had to get on their knees and bow? ian bremmer: engaging the russians in a real way where you don't say one thing out of one side of your mouth and then another on the other side. whether it is on missile defense or the pipeline. i remember people in washington in the clinton administration had bumper stickers that say happiness is multiple pipelines. russians look at that and say this is our backyard. you want to take the energy out of there and you want the influence to go someplace else. in retrospect, they said americans were playing a zero-sum game while we are in collapse. the unfortunate thin

we won't even know who we are. we won't know what we stand for.l scholars program my wife and i started and for those who think that doctors don't know how to do anything, i should say nine out of 10 nonprofits fail. hours not only didn't fail, it is active in 50 states and the district of columbia has one national awards. many of them being awards only given to one organization in the country for outstanding performance. [applause] our slogan the t is for talent honesty, insight, k for knowledge. be for books, and the g is for god. lawyers say you can't put it in a public school because the g stands for god. [applause] we had a vigorous argument. i suggested maybe we can resolve it at the level of the supreme court, which seemed bold and reckless. i knew the next week i was going to the supreme court to receive the jefferson award. sandra day o'connor say they were with us. there was no violation. people who say silly stuff like that, what do they know about our country? our founding document talks about certain unalienable rights given to us by

and we also are working to preserve the housing that we have. and so that the rad program is going to rehab tait more than 500 units of housing in china town. but, in fully developed areas of the city, with aging, which is traditionally meant affordable housing, we face unique challenge and so the purpose of the hearing today is to focus on how we can identify and preserve existing affordable housing, and i hope that we can highlight the enters to the following questions. what programs and efforts exist to preserve the existing affordable housing? what are the challenges and the stumbling blocks to these effort and how can we remove them and what additional things can we do to retain affordable house and our neighbors who live there? ideally we want to identify and protect buildings before they are at risk, in the meantime, we are also trying to cope with ongoing displacement in researching the housing situation, and in speaking to housing advocates and one of the things that we heard repeatedly is that we are not getting ahead of the systematic

what are we thinking? what are we thinking? we can i get the money to dredge those rivers and harbors in the ports? the former mayor and governor of pennsylvania kente, 40% of all the oil that takes care of the northeast rose of that delaware river to the delaware bay under -- up the refineries. just south of philadelphia. what are we talking about? what do they need -- another of tiffany -- another of tiffany?\ we need to modernize water infrastructure sewage, storm water runoff, safe water supplies. go back to the town you live in, ask your local councilman what the biggest problem he or she has. this enormous cost of the infrastructure work. they do not have a tax base to do it. even if they did, if they do it, nobody sees it. you get a chance to invest in the storm water drainage system, which causes enormous pollution or you build a new park -- not a hard choice for a politician to make. we are getting further behind. absent these improvements, business will not grow and will not relocate, because to be at such a competiti

we have soldiers and we asked them to do a lot of things here at when we see the soldiers and say i was at fort ap hill, and we did some adaptability training or we were in the tunnels and i prepare me for my mission, that is how we measure success. when we get feedback that says what you are doing is important. everybody wants to feel that what they're doing has value and is important. particularly our soldiers in the u.s. army. they sacrifice a lot. they spent sometimes and some hostile conditions and they want to know it makes a difference. and it makes a difference when you know you are helping soldiers on the battlefield. you're helping make soldiers better prepare for their mission. ultimately, there are some son daughter, wife, husband of a gun safe because of the things you did at fort ap >> u.s. army symmetric warfare group. -- asymmetric warfare group. thanks for your time. we want to thank lordford ap hill for their work with us. that is it for the washington journal today. this program comes at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. both the youwe will see you then. >> flag flying at h

we have 7 million people living here with that area, we regulate 15,000 sources of air pollution, we are enforcement arm for the california, arm resources board for a lot of mobile source, and provide incentive fund funding, and reduce i missions from vehicles our mission is to protect and improve public health air quality and climate, and getting 7 million people to agree on everything we do related to air quality. so in relation to that mission, there is one thing we're all in agreement with, which is what the facts are. in terms of our mission here to improve public health and air quality, we have done a very good job we have reduced, the number of healthy days for owe zone substantially. since we began regulates in the 70s, but we still do exceed that means, we regularly have unhealthy air here due to owe zone over zone ohzone -- that is something we need to bear in mind as we go forward. the reason that i say that is because as we move forward in this region we're targeting development, along those highways in that matter. 83% is from our highways and there are a couple of facts

joe: we are.hey have probably the strongest leaders in terms of general secretaries and presidents. charlie: and the aggregating of power. joe: oh, yeah, he has pulled power together. quite aggressively. but they still have a problem. when a country reaches about $10,000 per capita income, which is where china is now, there is a considerable demand for participation, and the chinese have not figured out how to deal with that. india, in contrast, inherited a constitution which allows for participation, which they got from britain. china does not have anything like that. charlie: and social media means that you know what other people are doing today, and the higher awareness of how i may not be doing as well as somebody in india or somewhere else. joe: that's right, and the chinese have a problem, which is social media, the internet also allowed a lot of participation that they don't want. they want a certain amount of the internet for economic growth, but they do not want it for political purposes,

we are proposing -- and we are anticipating 158.9 million here and the expenditure and in total, we are budgeting for the physical year, 15, 16, $273 million. and in the physical year, 14/15, we anticipating to carry out 196.9 million. >> and so that is a 87 million dollar difference. >> let me ask you for the operating costs and i see that there is an increase, of the 222,000 where is that going? >> the 322,000? >> that is, if you take a look at the caption and cc which is the next page, and it actually breaks down your revenues and your expenditures to the different, level. >> and here it is, and you can see, that our total expenditure and your operation is split into three different areas, and you have the administration costs and the equipment, furniture and the fixtures and the commissioner, related expenses. and here, you also have the preliminary budget prepared to the budget and then, --. >> and sorry, just to interrupt, it really does go to the increased staffing cost related to the positions that were approved last year, and we are now to 40 people including interns and we als

make sure we have business, we have residence we have nonprofits cultural institutions and government -- we have all of those on their stooeing committee they have worked tirelessly over the last year, i want to thank them for their support. the results of the petition. we feel like we got strong support we exceeded the 30% weighted requirement, coming close to 38%, we're still getting more every day, in support of renewal so we have strong support the next steps are coming before you today, cusia, outlined as well on june 2nd or 9th for the resolution and ballots on june 12th. hopefully coming back with good news announced july 28th. in the board meeting, that is the quick down and dirty i'm happy to answer any questions, we have letters of support that cusia mentioned as well, i'm happen to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> okay. supervisor breed? >> thank you i do have a few more questions, i'm trying to understand the boundaries and the changes to the boundaries. more specifically, i think um, with looking at the yerba buena area i realize it was established for the

we are looking like we are doing a lot better. i think we can do better. if we are doing the same thing and it's not changing then we have to do something else . i think she's embraced that as well. we are moving the clinic to the hospital. we've been in this field for many many years we should be doing things and shifting it up to reach out to the communities. have a positive issue and positive direction of sexual health and build a responsibility towards each other and says a lot about the young community who are interacting with each other and working with the adolescent programs and get out of the medical fields and get into the social field and including the violence prevention programs and there are ways for us to spread the information and education and we need to do things differential than thinking we are going to find everybody in a clinic. i think the std clinic has been really on their own before this. as i said we've hat beautiful silos and they have not been asked or welcomed into some of the other dynamic prament -- programs that we have and

felt was that we wounded do any repairs no way because we don't have the contractor on broad so we felt that why don't we wait until the following year we can actually do repairs but go in there and do an ascertainment of the tunnel more robust ascertainment as we go into the presentation it was a question about the 2030 ascertainment we've had you know technical advisors panel and they looked at the same information and had a different opinion so we really want to do core samples and do aggressive we want to - with the most accurate information to determine the best solution we'll go in more details to answer our question is that we wouldn't do repairs anyway until 2017 and we're planning to do that. >> we couldn't do repairs in 2016. >> no way. >> steve you want to - >> you want to - >> oh, what we're talking about isn't something in the not a walk in the park it is a major undertaking the close tunnel inspection just the inspection took a year of preparation to get it done right and effectively to contract and have good data from this doing the repairs we have to design the repairs i

clear, we have -- we got a great deal we have to do. it sounds weak to say it, but i hope for our sake from a budget perspective, that it is -- it's not going to be a bad fire season. i hope that for the sake of those who have properties or perhaps concerns about their own safety that it is not a bad fire season. i certainly hope for the men and women who in the face of pretty serious danger are willing to go out there and battle forest fires. for them, i hope it's not a bad fire season, but that's not -- that's not a good policy to hope that we get lucky, that we don't have a bad fire season. i think we're seeing things set up for a tough year, this year, with the drought in the west, low snow pack, everywhere, it seems, except here in the east, so we have some real issues to deal with. i think, again you've got a real commitment to figure out how we can deal with this fire borrowing, because we can't get to the fuel treatments. we can't get to the important aspects of what we can do on the preventative side if we don't have dollars in

and in my building we were fortunate we were being evicted by urban green investments and we stuck together and we got to support from ccdc, from the state and from the tender loin housing clinic and the day before we were to be evicted they rescinded their evictions they continue to give us buy outs but we all wanted to stay we are a large building, and a 14 unit building and in october we are bought by real land lords and they are great people, and they live in the marina and native san francisco and i am a fifth generation myself and so i, i am very happy to see that this resolution and i hope that it goes forward thank you. >> i want to thank you for your efforts in trying to prevent bad things from happening to other people after so much you have been through, and certainly the tour of the neighborhood and pointing out and i just wanted you afforded me an x-ray view into a lot of the buildings in our district and what it occurred in them and i wondered if you could just point out to me, instanceses of why the people had been evict and who they were and i wonder if you could touch brief

we won't even know who we are. we won't know what we stand for.ith the carson scholars fund, which is a national scholars program my wife and i started, and for those who think that doctors don't know how to do anything, i should say nine out of 10 nonprofits fail. ours not only didn't fail, it is active in 50 states and the district of columbia has one national awards. many of them being awards only given to one organization in the country for outstanding performance. [applause] our slogan, the t is for talent, honesty, insight, k for knowledge. b for books, and the g is for god. lawyers say you can't put it in a public school because the g stands for god. what a bunch of crap, you know? [cheering] we had a vigorous argument. i suggested maybe we can resolve it at the level of the supreme court, which seemed bold and reckless. i knew the next week i was going to the supreme court to receive the jefferson award. so i figured i would ask while i was there. justice as o'connor said, of course that was no violation of the first amendment. people who

we need to make sure that we negotiate accordingly and we continue to push for maximum transparency and we will continue to fully apply -- comply with what we negotiate in a context so again my point to the multilateral assessment that i participated in and lima and the climate negotiations this past december . to the biannual report our first-ever biannual report and forthcoming biennial reports and all major economies are doing the same thing. >> can i jump in and ask you to spell out perhaps fill out in layman's language whites are difficult to figure out who's doing what in the climate negotiations. why transparency and verification? >> i'm happy to jump in here. i would say the thing that we are stepping around is in a lot of countries we have developing information just about the basic staff emissions and what is industry contributing what are consumers and others contributing so the basic thing that is negotiated is the entry level of accountability around what are the actual emissions and how were we going to achieve the targets that we sat? that is not a question in the united

we have not been regulated, we regulate ourselves, because we live in a community and we support the businesses in the communities that live where we work and so i don't know if i would agree with regulating anything if we were talking about amplified and i am a dancer and i use a speaker and the music is too loud because i have gotten excited. usually the cops will say, hey edward can you turn down the music and i will say absolutely i think that they should have a reader stick and from knowing a little bit about it, i think that it is ten decibels but if you george by the ambient sound of the traffic and the sirens and i can't say that it is regulated we regulate ourself, we did an intel commercial together and it was seen globally and they paid us well for it and i think that the people come to san francisco it has a vibrantcy about it, as audrey said it is a beauty and there is no place like san francisco. and if that gets taken away, or altered and any such way it will just be a shame, also, thank you for the time to speak to all of you, >> president and vice president, and i am

we did, we used everything we could, it's a 1952 uh roadside motel that we transformed to back to its former glory. and we uh retrofit some 50s, mid-century turquoise cabinets and pink cabinets and old refrigerators and old stoves but we kept everything we could, the knotty pine, all the kind of uh, wood on the outside. we kept everything we could and you know tried to keep it all uh recycled, everything recycling. >> i know another issue that is dear to your heart is hiv and aids. a member of the b-52s, ricky wilson passed away in 1985. how did that affect you? >> well when ricky passed away in 1985 the band, we were, a decision was made by uh, ricky and cindy's family to her uncle wanted to protect uh, their father and so he said, let's not mention that ricky had aids. and aids was like a new disease then, i mean they were still some people calling it a gay virus. we weren't even sure that, i mean we didn't know ricky was sick, and until a certain point, you know then we realized. but we didn't know he had aids until he passed away. so we were told to be silent and that was very, ve

what can we do? >> we just want to make sure we go forward.right now right now we are able to get by struggling but able to meet requirements. if we go on that would mean that we are serving therapeutic sodium level. there will be no flavor to the food. i received an e-mail from my director letting me no student surveys are back from parents and many say their children no longer eat with us because there is no taste to the food. that is a big concern. as we continue it will be a larger concern. >> last year i included a provision that kept the whole-grain that 50 percent rather than 100 percent. and now i have introduced legislation with senator king. bipartisan legislation. they would keep us out the lower sodium level but not go to the next level and continue the provision that 50 percent of grain products have to be whole-grain enriched. is that something you think is workable and your state would find workable and you feel other states would find workable? >> absolutely. >> touch on issues as far as the competitive requirements we want we

when we got that note we made a very big decision. we said, yes, we're going to have to make cuts in some areas of government spends but the nhs is going to get more money every year i'm prime minister. it has had more money. that's why there are, comparably when i became prime minister, 9,000 more doctors, 7,000 more nurses. carrying out millions more operations every year. do i think it's perfect? no, i don't. i've got a big ambition for the next five years which is to deliver a seven day a week nhs including seven day opening, 8:00 in the morning, 8:00 in the evening for gp surgeries. i know we can do that because we're already delivering it to about 8 million people in our country. if you elect me as prime minister, i'll finish the job and make sure we have seven day opening for gp surgeries right across our country. that would really help working people to access the nhs that we all want. [ applause ] >> why spend 3 billion or so on what was described as damaging and distracting reorganizations of nhs by the kings fund? >> the ch

but we don't know we have the stages we have the genomes but we don't know what they do or how they interact but we're at the early stages but yet another technical challenge the but nonetheless have has the potential to be useful and something to think about. >> what about honey bees with their population of there would be a candidate? >> it would be great if we could find the genes. to find a bat and then figure out what part makes it resistant then to put into the bats rigo are dying and that is the good application of this technology. will not saying we know how but i am highlighting to push this along it could be incredibly useful. so how do we date the bones that we have since it comes from sediment? >> sometimes we get lucky we find them when they are still frozen and often we do that with every single bone. that means over the last 50,000 years but the oldest sequence we have been able to assemble is from a horse in the klondike but found is an association with a volcanic ash layer that is 700,000 years old. the only reason it has any dna survival because it is in an permafrost that

we want to expand the margins and we think we can and we think we can take that range higher, but we are also focused on growth. that is a mantra within our wealth management business. stephanie: or the wealth management business, obviously the equity markets are important. let me get signals from janet yellen nest hawks are overvalued, what does that mean to you? >> i think that was interpreted differently by different people. it was not the same as alan greenspan saying irrational exuberance. stephanie:erik: an amazing buying experience. >> my view is the american economy is getting better. i said this earlier. this business cycle in the u.s. in particular has several years to run. if that happens, it is hard to predict where the markets will go, but it will be a favorable environment for us to run our wealth management investment management businesses in. erik: there is a persistent lack of female talent in the lower and upper echelons of wall street. what does it mean to morgan stanley to lose a woman -- your chief financial officer -- of her stature? >> first of all, it is great

of which we don't control but for the ones we do have some say over we will try to do everything wecan to reduce those and give scientist more time to decide instead of paperwork. that's a partial list of what is quite a vigorous array of activities but i want to assure you very much from my own personal commitment here that we are taking this with great seriousness. we don't expect people to say you were just nih so you deserve dollars. we additional using those wisely and that every dollars been put to good use. i would much more to say in the coming months. >> i think ensure from senator durbin and every member that's spoken, we're interested in finding additional resources we. we understand that this issue cannot the result only by your deficiencies but as we find those additional dollars issuance that i am looking for is adjective had the capability to make the decisions where those dollars contest be spent for the best outcome for the health and well being of our country. i thank you for your answer. >> senator schatz. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you dr. collins. i've be

we are looking forward to what we can do. we levologs the public, private partnership to make dwrour dollars go firth aer. thank you for being interesting in the health of your citizens and the heth of the nation as a whole. >> hang on one minute here and i'll get the resume out for the next speaker and introduce him. i had a chance to meet mayor murray from seattle before the show started. he was in the state legislator for a long time and i asked him how does he like being mayor and he lit up. i said you that means you are going to run for the next time and he said the next time and next time. he is having a good time and i'll tell you a little about him. he is the mayor of seattle sinss jan 2013 and served in the washington state senate from 2007-13 and before that 11 years in the washington state out of representative. he has bichb around a while and has inovateive programs he starlted to institute. we are interested in hearing how seattle approached all this. mayor murray >> it is good to be here from the land of sea haw

should we bring the navigator back so we can make sure that when we lock that cockpit door, we have very strong human factors and cogno issues in looking at psychological factors of pilots and personnel inside the aircraft cockpit. and then finally, we need to look at elder technology as in the western society as we get to an older society, how do we gauge with moving people, ideas and things, the mobility issues in engagement of transportation. finally, i would like to tap into what we're looking at in niversity and industry partnership that really involves not only developing the advances in transportation of these technologies, which involves a lot of investment, a lot of uncertainty management, but more importantly deals with workforce development. how do we gauge a new supply of scientists and engineers to understand these advances in technology, engage them. more importantly as we look at heightened engagements who are actually engaging in transportation, and this will involve training many, many scientists and engineers not only in america, but also across the world, particularly

we can disagree. and we will. we'll have all kinds of arguments even about the best way to do things. but we should be coming from a place of love, of loving our country and of respecting one another. and we have to rebuild this feeling in our country again. we have too much work to be done. we have too many people who deserve a better shot at a future for themselves and their families. i want to be their champion. and with your help i will get up every single day doing the best i can to make sure that the country we love is the country we deserve to have. thank you all. [ applause ] >> so we're going to start introducing madam secretary. >> transportation and infrastructure issues are being debated in congress. on the next washington journal we will talk to david jolly, who serves on the transportation committee. then, a conversation with jerrold nadler about whether congress should renew surveillance programs. later, a look at the effect the drought could have on the economy. washington journal is lives each mor

but we think that i can only speak to our company, but we are -- because we are based in germany, we are probably the most stringent -- subject to the most stringent data laws. we are confident that moving forward that's the view we'll take. >> talking about this data privacy and security again maybe we have to differentiate between data which are necessary to drive autonomously and not all of the data in the car. we have a lot more data as was mentioned already. so this kind of entertainment data is just a free flow of data, and every user can decide what he wants to do with that. this is actually according to some agreements between the provider and user. and data we have in the car to drive the car somehow autonomous in the future it happened already in the past. so that's not a new issue. we know that already. the research arena it is known. it will happen. this is for sure. to make first of all the right choice, what is really necessary for the automation of the car and small amount of data is, it is more difficult to tackle. if you need everything when we get around from the ca

the question is -- will we wake up? will we reach a tipping point? and i hope there will be a tipping point where this becomes part of the global ethic in time to avoid real catastrophe in terms of climate change that'll affect all of us and, in terms of mass destruction, possibly up to half the species on earth say, by the end of the present century. narrator: rising human population, biodiversity loss, and climate change are issues of primary environmental concern not only for our descendents but for all the species that call this the habitable planet. when environmental scientists look into the future will human actions overwhelm environmental systems, or will we work together to assure a stable environment? schrag: there's still so much about the earth system that we don't understand whether it's about oceans or about the climate system or about ecosystems and biology. there's still so many mysteries left to uncover. our impacts on the earth are so huge, in many ways, it's an experiment we're doing on the planet. it's an experiment because it's n

>> okay, why don't we do that. and so, for item 5 and 6 i am going to entertain a motion to continue these items for a week. and but, first i will open this up to public comment, if anybody wish to comment on 5 or 6, seeing none, public comment is closed. >> >> why don't we continue it for one week just in case, and if they want to continue it for long and her don't have a reason to be here next week, if it is not time urgent we can wait for that as well. so moved. >> we have a motion to continue, and second and we can take that without objection. >> madam clerk do we have any other business in front of us for the ten a.m. meeting? >> no, thank you, we are adjourned.

we all added to it. how do we fix it? we can. when you cannot agree on revenue, if you get a tax code, and this is where there was the three-pronged approach revenue expenditure, reform. you have to look at everything. everybody has to take a little bit of a haircut to get this thing back in place, but no one is willing to sacrifice a vote for that or a bad ad on tv against you, and i think what we ought to do is get a bunch of senators thinking about retiring, who could care less about getting reelected and say listen, we'll sacrifice ourselves. we'll be the ones that will fix this thing for the next generation. we have done tax reform about every 17 years, we have not done major tax reform since 19 8 6. i tell the republican friends who took a no new tax pledge i said, i understand it's going to be hard for you, anything we do. how do we pay down $18 trillion? if i reduce the tax from 39 to 33, corporate from 35 to 25, 26 27 but get rid of the junk at the box, the credits offsets, the goodies you had written in over the years,

we uncovered fact. we responded. we are asking for consultations to take place and once they do we're certain that we'll get to place that works for everyone. >> richard anderson you became ceo of delta in 2007. you go back to 1987 in the industry when you began with continental. you have cited figure of $42 billion in subsidies that go to gulf carriers. how do you back up the figure when there aren't public documents that anybody can see that will show that figure and then assuming that these subsidies are happening down the road you'll have to show they are actually harming you and the industry. are you going to be able to show harm? >> first on the evidence we start add process at delta a couple of years ago because just by definition an a-380 daily from milan to jfk, if you've been in the airline industry any period of time intuition tells you. you don't need to see a flight profitability system to tell you that can't work. over the time frame of these bilateral relationships they have 24 non-stops 24 daily non-s

we are where we are.if we left a residual force in iraq, we would not be here today. president bush, like every other leader in the world had certain information, some of which proved to be faulty. he maudehe made his fair share of mistakes but adjusted. president obama had good, sound advice in front of him to leave a residual force behind. decided to go in a different direction. when they tell you at the white house, well, the iraqis didn't want us to stay, that is complete absolutely fabrication and rewriting of history. president obama, vice president biden got the answer they wanted. they made a campaign promise to end the war in iraq. they fulfilled that promise. but what they actually have done is lost the war in iraq. and the war in iraq and what happens in syria is directly tied to our own national security. so i hope the president will seize this opportunity to come up with a new strategy that will protect the homeland and reset order. radical islam is running wild in the mideast. and as it runs

year so we believe that we can negotiated something that is considerably under market today. and being at 39 dollars a foot and, seeing the budget analyst report of review of the come parables that we think are appropriate here and going forward even with those modest increases of 2 percent per year and each if there is a market correction and we think that we are going to be in a favorable condition in this critical location, serving soma, the improvements are intended to provide the additional exam rooms in the facility and it will allow the dph to serve the clients on site and to reduce the clients going to the general hospital, emergency rooms and so there is certainly, some inherit efficiencies that this brings to the dph's operations. and as indicated in the budget and legislative analyst report, funding for the tentative improvements is split, $300,000 out of prop 63 funds, and the remainder of the general fund and then we have shown that department of public health has the rental of course, in their budget, and happy to answer any questions that you might have and i a

that we work. having partnerships, leveraging each other's authority, exchanging information so that people are recognizing where threats are. that's always going to be part of the future. we've adopted that as a way forward. we interact quite a bit with leadership and law enforcement, and the stone garden program that congress gave us several years back after the department was created is a very useful tool for us and is very well thought of by state and local. >> could you give me your assessment of border security in the indian reservation, for example. i don't want to single those out. with the reservation compared to others, areas on the northern border, would you say it's equivalent, better, worse? >> i'm not aware of any deficiencies we have specifically. >> how about with the park? glacier national park? >> same. we have an ongoing working relationship to be present and understand their concerns as well as being present on the border and patrolling. >> so the need for additional tools and i

we think it's an area we can provide assistance. beyond just that, we have other resources for violent crime in our cities. it may not be in such extreme measures. senator: i'd look forward to that as we know, we have seen a strained relationships with the law enforcement and communities in cities across the nation. most recently in baltimore, this happens in many other places. i am interested in the collaborative reform initiative in baltimore and what is on the table for the project and how it will be sustained and whether recent events have affected the timeline. loretta lynch: with respect to baltimore, the collaborative reform affect was started last fall at the request of the baltimore police department and our cop service office. we've been very active in working with the police and the community to work on ways to improve the east. as we discussed earlier today and throughout my most recent visit to baltimore, events have made us cognizant of concerns that both the city, the police and the committee have about the efficacy o

it was fight this month and we can get there and -- we can't do that any longer but it used to be weput an aircraft up in the air it's going to be dominant for 10 years. that question might not be as long now. a lot of the programs that are not reached by oco and not reached by some of these proposals, these long-term investments and capabilities, cyber and elsewhere that if we don't make them now we can keep the lights on but that gap will get to the point where it disappears. is about there? >> it is very, very. >> thank you. >> the senator from maine senator collins. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. welcome, mr. secretary. thank you general dempsey, for your service. mr. secretary, twice this one we've heard general dempsey say that this is the most uncertain security environment that he is seeing in his 40 years of service. it is the navy that allows us to project power, particularly in areas where we would otherwise be denied access in trouble spots around the world. yet the navy's 30 year shipbuilding plan does not include enough funding for ships to fully support the 308

if we have opens, we take other people as well. we do have people like i said, you know, the people that have terminal cancer, they are going through therapy. there isn't necessarily hums or high users. it could be the outreach. we have several, we have the union square bid, we have the caseworker assigned to union square. we have the castro care, the 16 hours of case management assigned to the street outreach. if they identify people as well, we'll take themmen in and get them housed. people on ga to get them housed, the list goes quicker. it's always been the focus to try and focus on that population. >> thank you. >> hi. i'm very glad to finally put a face to the name. i have to say i'm really confuse d about the new model. are you all staff members from the department of public health or are you part of an outside provider or contractor? >> there is still the hsa collaboration, collaboration is hsa, dph and public health foundation enterprises. the majority of the team with the contractor is with public health foundation enterp

as we said, we are in virginia and that is where we live. we are stationed in the united states. the center is located here, so it is convenient and easy to train on. really what you said is far from the truth. we want to be able to replicate any environment where our soldiers might be able to fight. as a said earlier, we used to train very rudimentary training facilities with simple concrete buildings and our soldiers were not prepared as well as they could of been by just adding a little bit of texture. this facility is designed to increase soldier survivability and save lives in combat. that is what it is for. i think if we put it in that context, that is what the u.s. army is doing with this facility. (202) 748-8000 for those of you in the eastern and central time zones. for mountain and pacific, (202) 748-8001. for active military, (202) 748-8002. our guest is colonel john petkosek. john from pennsylvania, you are up next. caller: hi. i am concerned like the last caller. i sell your facility on the internet. i saw someone in john deere caps saying please is a my guns. i've s

proceedier is we have public comment first before we make our statements then we may have staff that have questions basen on comments, that are heard as well we invite you to stay and hear. commissioner brandon i will star with you. commissioner woo ho >> with her request. thank you. i appreciate the presentation so thank you in going through all of the process and details of what we have been trying to achieve with the mps the reason i didn't request this on the agenda obviously this topic has hit certain nerveses in the community both in the mediate area, and the recreational users i'm not a member of the dolphin club but i have swam in the bay many years ago >> not on purpose [laughter] >> i appreciate the recreational swimming i think we wanted to hear all of the issues on the table. i think we know this is a sensitive thorny issue for everybody involved, we want to have an open discussion, to make sure the port commission and staff are in line to move forward. i think you are hearing clearly we want to retain pier 31-and-a-half. we know this say better way to continue but we nee

thing with we are selling we're looking at a flat steady low price and when wear buying we do but we - our budget is a based on a normal water year this assumes the expose sales and revenue and we stay it the third quarter of each fiscal year a list of (1) 400-0000 of anticipated revenue from those sales we don't have that rain if we don't have a low wholesale supply price we're not going to release that level of revenue that's the first functions the second is transition and as i mentioned transition emergency connections we have a number of them we are regardless of how far our power travels in our lines into the city are on our lions to the station the price is the same it's a postage stamp we move from our customers it is independent of the distance that has made it clear to us that some of the our transition lines we needed to get power to the customers are not necessary today to serve our customers reliably given the open assess to the transition grid and the postage stamp rated didn't matter if we bring our power from the power hours to the newark station in the middle on the

as bill pointed out, we have been operating for 130 year-140 years we have boats as old as 1880 we have a fleet of well over 18 historic boats on the bay. we have 250 boats using every day. boats go out every day, a particular note with the way our boat traffic comes close to fort mason is during the time of the third nesting season march 13th-july 31st on alcatraz island we have a 30 foot avoidance zone for the bird act we're going up to the -- i will not go into hydro dynamics but we're interfering, with the fisherman's lines with the piers, in order avoid the current. it would be -- the reason i bring this up is the ier in studying fort mason site says there is no recreational use of the bay right outside of fort mason. this is obviously not true. i would like to encourage the board to renew the lease i think you guys are doing great work hammering it out, stick in there we want to see this all resolved, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. any other speakers during public comment? you don't have to submit a card. >> alice, rogers i would like to encourage this work to st

we concocted a story that we would run away, and we would say we were with our mother in the wagon ande got lost. with names like hilda and gerda -- we had a whole thing how we were going to do it. susie, something similar. we said our father was ordered to get the numbers. we used our house numbers in 1939. we came into that little forest where we rested. we took a signal to each other that we are going to stay there when everybody assembles. suddenly hilda looked up at me and said, i'm afraid. i was going to say, come on. and i didn't. and we got out of the forest they rounded up 14 girls. they were all shot. i decided i'm never going to run away. people were already running. the ss was not too much in charge. we made a pact. i said, we are never going to run away. an incredible thing happened. people were running in the streets and threw bread at us. and so we had bread. that night we rested in an orchard. it was spring already, april. president roosevelt's death must have been the third week in april. i told hilda to watch the bread and hold onto it. she was very funny. she survive

we are a bank and we are not accounting for the credit that we are guaranteed.he most is fannie and freddie. we know policy are working on reforming the mortgage markets. what do we do in the next few years if they do get rid of fannie and freddie? how do they account for that? deborah: say they liquidate their portfolio at market prices. that should be neutral for the government. but under the current of government -- under the current government accounting rules, it looks like it cost the government money when in fact it does not. we need to have, just like businesses the government needs the right numbers to make the right decisions. this is about decision-making, it is not the macro of the deficit. but it is so important. we are talking about trillions of dollars of financial decisions. brendan: these are things that have moved from not existing at all in the cbo's estimates to footnotes to possibly in the future something that is really sitting on our balance sheet that we can see it has to do with. deborah: that is the hope. brendan: truth in accounting, t

so we could pretend that we are in 1965 but we are not. we not. have to deal with the reality of our aging population. so 24 percent of gdp is about the right number. so what the book advocates, you know, is not that we become france overnight. i'm not a socialist. have a socialist. advocates that we spent about 2 percent of gdp more than we are now. that is a lot of money. $350 billion but it is completely affordable and it buys a l

we own dams. we own levees. we own railroads. the government owns 900,000 buildings. 77,000 of which are being not utilized or underutilized. think about that. at the same time, the government is leasing over 500 million square feet from the private sector, using your taxpayer money. it is totally horrendous when you look under the hood. you just want to shut it back down. [laughter] dr. carson: it is that bad. i want to tell you what we are going to do. if god ordains that we end up in the white house. i will to you what we are going to do. we are going to change the government into something that looks more like a well-run business than a behemoth of inefficiency. [applause] dr. carson: when i say we, i am talking about our team. when i started this endeavor, i am familiar with a man who has started over 30 companies, is extraordinarily successful. i asked him to put together the rest of the team in order to be able to do this. his name is terry giles. where are you? [applause] dr. carson: now that we are transitioning from, yo

so we didn't even know. but in a perfect world someone else already said it if we had a one stop shop to be able to go to one place and get the permits as well as a class to teach the people that want to learn and put something on. >> next peeker. >> thank you. >> my name is ben lyman and i am the chairman of the california music and culture, and i am also a local businessman who is putting on a music festival in set. september. >> i want to commend everyone in this, and we think that it proves what everyone kind of already knew that music festivals are totally awesome flt we are looking forward as an organization to work with the city hall now to encourage responsible festivals, in the city. and to remove the frustrating bureaucratic road blocks and the fees that makes the festivals impossible and we are very much looking forward to keeping this study m mind when we negotiate with the groups who sometimes have varying degrees on whether they have the direct benefits to themselves and the city. >> thank you.
