oh, there's more. 21 united states trustees. exactly 21 united states trustees. congress has devoted a lot of attention to figuring out what the structure of the department of justice looks like. if you put all of those positions together, they account for a tiny, tiny fraction of the more than 100,000 people who work for the united states department of justice. that's because the vast majority of the people who work for the department of justice are not officers of the united states within the meaning of the appointments clause. they are employees. their appointments are not controlled by the appointments clause. congress can pick whatever mode of appointment is necessary and proper for carrying into execution government powers, and their positions do not acquire the specific statutory authorization of established by law that is necessary for officers. for those people, the 99000, 50 or whatever of the rest of them, it suffices to provide, as congress has, not just for the department of justice, but for every federal agency that they may employ such numbers empl

united states, mike pence. one week ago turkish forces crossing into syria. president trump took a decisive action to call on turkish forces to stand down and the violence, agreed to negotiations. today i am proud to report, thanks to the strong leadership of president trump and the strong relationship between president erdogan and turkey and the united states of america. today the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease-fire in syria. turkish's side will pause operation peace spring in order to allow for the withdrawal of wide pg forces from the safe zone for 120 hours. all military operation will be paused. an operation peace spring will be halted entirely on completion of withdraw. our administration had been in contact with syria defense forces and we have begun to facilitate of their safe withdrawal nearly 20 miles safe zone area, south of the turkish border in syria. also includes in an agreement by turkey to engage in no military action against the community of cabani and in addition the united s

first, the mixed-use development including almost 1600 new housing units, of which 300 new units, 25% of the total, will be below market-rate units, and improvements to the existing rec front open space along the waterfront, and the big green, which will be a new addition to the city's southeast network of public parks. quickly, a number of other public benefits are included in the approved development agreement, including new city streets and utilities, a new bike network, including a class one bikeway through the project and a bay way trail. the project will provide space for several uses important to the community that are listed here on slide three and includes a workforce agreement with requirements during both constructions and operations of the development. the india basin project is development with a long-term use towards sustainability and resilience including on-site treatment of wastewater and stormwater, reduce waste emissions through 100% clean energy and the formation of a community facilities district that will provide facilities for sea level rise mitigation on the fu

and the unit mix itself. and although home sf allows for a variety of combinations of units, unit configurations to satisfy the legislation on the code, we pushed the number of two-bedrooms and three-bedrooms above the 40 percent minimum. and if you are to count the one bedrooms plus dens that we are also providing which is a new unit type we were able to provide by eliminating a substantial number of studios while maintaining the total unit count, we would be at a45 percent of our total units that would have twos and threes. the team is committed and we have repeatedly shared this as part of our outreach to ensuring that the housing that we are delivering is completely accessible. we recognize that the district is a very diverse district. it's a multilingual district. and in recognition of that have committed to posting workshops leading up -- the one year leading up to the opening of the building, every month, to assist with local residents who would like to enroll and apply in the bmr program to have their

when we subtract out the tie die units and the pre dda units, how many more bmr units do we have in this pot? >> so, we have 435 tie die units and one treasure island units. that covers the transition of 250 existing households. if we look at all other households, and i'll just talk pre and post dda, i think we're at about 340 right now. total households 190 pre dda and mixed and 150 post dda. so that is 340 universe so the 435, which only 250 of those are needed to transition existing households. added 30th 340, assuming no one purchased a unit or took an inclusionary affordable unit, it could be 340 and 435 or 785. we would still be building 1100 additional affordable units above and beyond that only tida parcels. >> that's really great to have. it's context. in your presentation you mentioned you consulted with -- >> we've had initial conversations, yes. >> it's very important at least for me before we have to take any action on housing policy that we have very clear buy-in or response from ocd about their official position on this because ultimately they're the department who will be

the united states should take the lead within the united nations and nato to organize efforts that denounce turkey's actions and restrain the tragic consequences. we must also double efforts to seek a negotiated settlement to the syrian civil war that is consistent with u.n. security council resolution 2254 and protects the equities of the s.d.f. and civilians living under their protection. unfortunately, the greatest impediment in bringing about an end to the conflict there appears to be president trump's inability to grasp the strategic significance of his actions. and with that, mr. president, i would yield the floor. ms. ernst: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. ms. ernst: mr. president, i rise today to call attention to the dire situation which continues to unfold in northern syria. turkey embarked on a reckless and brutal intervention on october 9, 2019, ostensibly to clear northern syria of terrorist elements. they have ironically dubbed this operation "peace spring." the departure of u.s. forces just days prior to this incursion left nothing between turkish

the united states the united states has set a hard-line towards eroding u.n. resolutions on the international legal framework of the middle east peace process. it suggests waiting for some sort of deal of the century. meanwhile, it's taking unilateral decisions on jerusalem and the golan heights. the two state solution to the palestinian issue, which is essential for providing security for israel and the whole region is in danger. apparently, when nato members were bombing libya, blatantly violating united security council resolutions, they were also guided by the logic of the rules based order. it resulted in the destruction of libyan statehood. the international community is still untangling the disastrous repercussions of nato's adventure with african countries affected the most. there is still a hidden agenda and the countering -- in the countering terrorism, despite the universally binding security council decisions on lifting -- listing terrorist organizations. some countries made it a rule to terroristsshield from punishment and to even work with them o

income requirements for affordable unit, we cannot construct those units using affordable tax credits and some specifics for affordable housing, which means we need to come up with roughly an additional $300,000 in local resources to come up with that. but the units are deed restricted and come up upon turnover. the cost to replace the original unit considered the original -- the bedroom size to replace the original unit considered the original household and bedroom size and affordable income and program requirements. so the -- what we're proposing now for post d.d.a. residents who have moved to the island since 2011, the resolution you have before you today urges us to expand the relocation and transition benefits available for post d.d.a. households. again, just as background, under the transitional housing rules and regulations, currently, they're provided only with advisory services, and leases have disclosed that the housing is interim and without relocation benefits. and at this time, we don't anticipate any of the existing housing needing to be vacated for the purposes of devel

it has 136 market rate units with only night affordable units and 48 bmr. most units are studios and one bedroom and do not apply with affordability and needs of our family oriented community base and excelsior. although this project provides unionized labor, the outcome of this project is not for existing residents and tenants wrist being priced out of excelsior. landlords of adjacent properties began to charge more rent and doing more buyouts or evictions to cash in on the new population of nearby luxury and high-end market rate development. i provide tenant counseling in the excelsior, and all of my clients are already facing evictions or at risk of being priced out. by proposing this market-based development in the excelsior, it does not alleviate the housing crisis. as developers, the planning commission, and the planning department continued to prioritize. our community members will no longer be able to afford living there regardless if they are tenants or homeowners. please deny the permits of this luxury project at 65 ocean. luxury housing is off us

forces the establishment in america believes that the united states actually by betraying. actually is giving a very bad message to its allies in the region. this is something not good for america blossoming don't look at the united states if it withdraws from syria it will not be party to this conflict anymore it will not have any leverage and the syrian conflict and some actually also see that russia is winning in this case because america is actually pulling out so that something of the gun is actually dealing with 2 different americas this is actually what makes his position very very difficult and this is what mixed actually the thrust also with the united states is very low now as we are recording this program on friday afternoon and there are already news coming in that at least in one like this suppose that cease fire has been breached and that there are there are direct military confrontation between the turkish military and some of the kurdish groups speech leads me to my next question as part of the deal struck last thursday the kurdish military units they why b.

now the united states is questioning the future of the new start treaty. they are refusing to ratify the comprehensive test ban treaty. it has lowered, the united states has lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. the united states is setting a course towards transforming cyberspace into an arena for military confrontation in order to prevent further escalation of tensions russia proposed several initiative to president putin announced the decision not to the point shorter range missiles in europe. the americans as refrain from doing so as well. we call on the united states and a moratoriumsuch and repeatedly suggested to washington that we start negations on understanding the new start treaty, together with china we support the harmonization of a legally binding document and the prevention of an arms race in outer space. so far the reaction of the united states and its allies has not been encouraging. we are alarmed by the prolonged lack of any answer to our proposal made to american colleagues a year ago to adopt a high level russian-americ

there's about units. that tells us the fees aren't segregated so development is necessarily rolled out in the order in which the fees come in or to build the number of housing units that would be required for the types of development that have occurred and for which the fees were charged. so collecting the $89 million, it didn't all get expended during that time period. i think part of the explanation for that is the funding from the non-residential side the jobs housing linkage fee and then funds from housing or other development impact fees are all combined and used for development projects. and the mohcd has defined sites and put the financing together for the entire project working with developers. so it doesn't all get spent in the same time frame or in unison with the collection pattern and may not result in the number of units being built that the nexus analysis would tell us should be built for the square footage of development that has occurred during that period. it may happen eventually in the

i have stairs leading up to my unit. there's no law forcing my landlord to make a ramp for me so i can't check my mail. fortunately my care provider found this letter and i looked at it and read it and it said that pg&e was going to cut off my power in 10 days and charge me to turn it back on because they had not been able to get into my unit to do a routine power check. this was not an emergency. it was not anything. this is just a routine check. i e-mailed pg&e and said i'm a wheelchair user. i can't let you in very easily. i need help. there are multiple people in my building who are able bodied and can let you into check those meeters. and their response was, oh, we already tried them and we couldn't get a hold of them. i gave them specific instructions for how to get into my unit.

states or view the united states as unpredictable. my worry is that won't produce strong allied coalitions that are pursuing strategies. it will produce hedging behavior. whether that's the russians in this particular theater, china in other theaters, because they sort of view that as something they need to do with the national security. even if we decide, we are going to intervene less. we are going to try to push others to share burdens. still you want to be doing whatever we're doing around the world in a multilateral way in a coalition rather than retreating to fortress america and saying to other countries you're on your own. >> before you address the same question, you want you to specifically note the people in this region and how a message like this will be delivered and heard in this region. we're talking about great powers. but how having done this work now for months, how will this affect the kurds, the the people on the ground who we may hope to work with. >> thank you for that question. one of the things the seyria study

ambassador to the united nations a short while ago reiterate what the united states wants it wants a ceasefire but the message from from the turks is that no there will be no cease fire and then just one more question for you before we let you get out of the rain just bring us right up to speed with what's happening on the ground in the turkish military operation and what kind of resistance are they facing. they're facing stiff resistance in the border town of ras al-ain the battle is entering its 2nd week the kurdish led the syrian democratic forces have an advantage they have tunnels they have trenches so it's quite difficult for the advancing forces to take ground in to hold the ground and that battle is not just about a border town the russell lane is supposed to be part of the zone that turkey wants to create the safest on to allow refugees millions of refugees to return so the initial phase of this operation has still not been completed what turkey wants is a 120 kilometer stretch of territory 30 kilometers deep inside syria to be the initial phase of this operation it's not ju
