to provide paid leave. i supported senator fischer's employer credit as part of the tax cuts contract. this is then extended through 2025. provides a credit for eligible employees a ranging from 12.5 to 25% of wages paid to employees for up to 12 weeks of medical leave. employers must provide 50% of wages. the family's first coronavirus response act of bipartisan legislation supported by bothis sides of the aisle provided businesses with fewer than 500 employees payroll tax credits for paid leave related to covid-19 pandemic are these tax credits have been extended through september of 2021. let's talk about the private sector leave programs. they want talent to workers and want benefits for those workers for the private sector as many creative ideas to provide paid leave such as paid time off purchase planst that allow workers to purchase additional paid time off either through flexon credits verse salary reductions with pre-tax dollars. others are providing short-term disability insurance to provide emplo

a recent report provided some insight. our gps report highlighted that despite having satellites capable of broadcasting gps signals for military users, dod remains years away from widespread use of it. similar disconnects of happen for other systems. i want to emphasize that while dod has deployed space-based systems, they do not last forever and systems require updates to continue to meet mission needs. adversaries have the means and intention of holding our space capabilities at risk. we face important questions about how to mitigate the risks and recapitalize our capabilities and add new ones. congress has taken steps aimed at improving acquisitions and oversight of space programs. there been efforts to change authorities, including a usable product within five years and provide administrative relief to do this. i have five of these programs, including two in the next effort, which issued a nonpublic report this year. there are efforts to provide -- we shared our views on a proposal earlier this year. we expect to do t

nutrition providers, glide is providing modified meal services because of the pandemic. of modified meal services will continue until it is safe to do otherwise. the cap snack meal program is currently on hold because of the pandemic. glide is in contact with the staff at cap to ensure that the provision of snack meals will resume, when workforce participants are able to reengage with services safely. glide has a long history of providing services for san franciscans most in need, and in having a strong partnership with d.a.s. and the city as a whole. last fiscal year, so in 19-20, glide provided over 800,000 meals collectively across all of their community nutrition programs. the daily free meal and snack grants accounted for 428,000 of those meals. and glide is on track to serve at least that many meals again this year in the daily meals program. or daily free meals program. the office the community partnership monitors all of the d.a.s.-funded programs last fiscal year and found them to be in compliance. we are very happy to have glide as a nutrition partner and confi

funding provided since 2019. over the past five years, the cost of doing business allocation has averaged 2.7% per year. exhibit 5 on page 13 of our report, and exhibit 6 on page 14 of our report, and shown on this slide, shows the percentage change each year in the cost of doing business and in the c.p.i. over the past five years. when comparing the cost of doing business increases with changing c.p.i. over the past five years, the cost of doing business increase has averaged slightly below cost of doing business increased, with a 2.7% compared with a 3.2% increase in c.p.i. in the san francisco area. however, the city's cost of doing business has increased the last two years over the city's c.p.i. taken together, the city appears to be getting closer to meeting the increased needs of nonprofits given the m.c.o. and other costs. similar to the m.c.o. increases, the cost of doing business allocations must be approved by the board through the annual budgeting process. a few nonprofits that we spoke with expressed

to a single provider. that is the correct approach. subsidizing multiple firms are subsidizing competition is irrational whatever benefits this fake competition produces is more than offset by the cost to other persons living outside the subsidized market who are tax to pay for the subsidized fake comfort to. i'm taxed to pay for a government run network in chattanooga. i live in alabama. if anyone tells you subsidized competition is a good policy i encourage you to make them demonstrate by what economic mechanism that is so wishful thinking, is not a logical argument. why people do not accept the broadbent as more complicated matter advocates tend to focus on price. price is not the main reason people do not have broadbent in the home. far more people are just uninterested. i cannot blame them for that. or some, a mobile or wi-fi connection is plenty adequate. a valid choice people are allowed to have their own preferences good as for the racial digital divide, and differences in demand for broadband by s

in our housing providers. there's a lot of need in this area and so we are excited to really put out this as a preliminary vision for what we can achieve with expansion of services for people moving into supportive housing and those living in supportive housing already and really to embark on a comprehensive, i think service development process on what's needed in terms of training and consultation services and then, of course, care coordination for people moving from housing -- sorry. moving from homelessness into housing and successfully staying in housing. so there's a lot here on this slide, but what you see is a vision and the beginnings of a model which we look forward to developing with input from the people who are doing this work and as well as in supportive housing. so, on this slide and i know there's been mention of where funding for our services in permanent housing sit. so we heard very clearly that our proposal, again, for care coordination and transitions management for people moving from livin

to provide paid leave. i supported senator fisher's employer credit as part of the tax job act and tax credit has been now extended through 2025. it provides a credit for eligible employees ranking from 12 and a half to 25% of wages paid to employees for up to 12 weeks of family an medical leave. employers must provide at least 50% of the wages senator fisher deserves tremendous amount of credit for pressing us to include that in to law. also the families first coronavirus response act bipartisan legislation supported by both sides of the aisle provide businesses with fewer than 500 and paid leave related to covid-19 pandemic. these tax credits have been extended through september of 2021. let's talk about the private sector leave programs, job creators want talented workers and want to provide benefits for those workers. the private sector has many creative ideas to provide paid leave such as paid time off purchase plans that allow workers that want more leave to purchase additional paid time off either th

we provide best practices. in some cases we provide technology. but overall, managing that information security program at an agency is essential and i think that's why we need to ensure that the cisos like those joining me today are empowered and resourced to support the needs and security of their agency. >> empowered and resourced and held accountable for what happens at those agencies, including the reporting we talked about earlier, correct? >> yes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator portman. accountability is critically important, i couldn't agree more. senator carper, you're recognized for your questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. can you hear me okay? >> i hear you fine, senator. >> all right. let me just start off by saying to director wales, thank you for serving as our acting director in this capacity for a number of months. i just want to thank you for that and for your continued service. i understand someone else has been nominated to succeed you. but you'll be continuing in this post for a while. we thank you for tha

my written statement provides more detailed outlines. i would like to highlight areas of progress and what we believe is a way forward. first, throughout solar winds and the other recent cyber incidents, there has been unprecedented and robust collaboration between the public and private sector. industry identify threats and informs us with little delay, but exchange vulnerabilities we work together to take collective action. the government provided the form of an industry partnership allowed us to reduce the population of susceptible servers and notify potential victims at a scale the government alone cannot achieve. we must build on the success and adapt to the increasing dynamic and threat landscape. since industry often sees malicious cyber activity first, we must continue deep collaboration with industry partners. one of our top priorities this year is standing up to the recently authorized office, a recommendation that was authorized in the most recent defense act. i want to thank this committee for its support for all of the provi

>> we're talking about providing that after we leave. in addition the challenge that we face today is making sure that we've got the right type of oversight mechanisms but the intend would be that we would maintain that support provided we get the support from congress. the intent would be to maintain those resources and that assistance to the afghan government. you know -- >> well thank you. i appreciate that. i think you're answering my question. i do want to ask general trollinger, rather than asking you the same question or expecting you to respond, i think because this will be a policy decision, that the administration will be making, i want to go to you and ask you this, with the u.s. withdrawing u.s. forcing from afghanistan by september, one has to question the ability of the afghan security forces to stand their ground against the taliban and our ability to successfully conduct over the horizon counter-terrorism operations. i know we've kind of touched on that a little bit. but i want to ask it this way. in your professional mil

it would be great if it was required every provider provided for someone who qualifies and also somef the rules that make it difficult for the low income families to subscribe to those low-cost options are relaxed and the program still may require a family to unsubscribe from something they couldn't afford to subscribe to the low-cost program. >> open access as an operating principle, would you view that to decrease the cost of broadband? >> very much so. when providers get federal funding there is really no requirement for them to share their infrastructure. we have an open access network that everyone else is tapping into so we get the best of both worlds that is essentially you get the competitiveness. >> i want to answer my colleagues concerns about the private sector doing these projects in a way that anybody can go on the road but his concern about getting out of the way of the private sector is you see these open access impediments to the private sector. there will be talking points. the reality is when you go to these neighborhoods we can't have this existential question sayi

the climate provides that opportunity. whether it is a fund, conservation resources, investments in technology that will allow them to capture methane and reuse it or whether it is creating new opportunities for bioprocessing and new jobs, all of that has to be done. the usda has enormous opacity and a set of tools that can be used to provide resources to the farm community to embrace this future. they are in agreement with president biden when he says the net goal is net zero emissions by 2050. in doing it, we will improve income opportunities for farmers, do better by the environment tend to have healthier water. it needs congressional approval in the sense that you have resources in these programs that require funding. but we have a lot of flexibility already at usda and we are going to be utilizing the flexibility in a way that creates new and better markets. and i think farmers are going to be very agreeable with that. reporter: thank you. ms. psaki: if you have follow-up questions, we would be happy to connect you wi

the other two provider categories, pg&e and the direct access suppliers, together now provide 20% to 25%. the data that i'm going to share with you in the next several slides is focused on clean power s.f. customers. all of the data that i'm going to share in this next few slides is as of the end of april. the map here depicts a percentage of clean power s.f. residential customers are more than 90 days delinquent by zip code. it represents the number of customers that are delinquent out of the total number of customers in each zip code. in total, there are 16,250 or so residential clean power s.f. customers that are 90 days or more delinquent on their electricity charges. this represents a 3% decrease compared to the data we presented to you at the last lafco meeting. this map depicts the percentage of the commercial accounts that were more than 90 days delinquent on their electricity bill by zip code as of the end of april. there are approximately 1,685 commercial clean power s.f. customers in this category, and this also represents a slight decrease compared to the data that we pre

providing a late night eatery would contribute to the neighborhood and provide 24 hour development with more eyes on the street. department finds the project to be necessary, desirable and compatible with surrounding neighborhood. not detrimental to persons or property in the community. this concludes my presentation. the project sponsor is here to present. we will be available for questions afterward. thank you. >> we should go to the appellant next. you will have 10 minutes. >> thank you. i want to begin by talking about mitigated negative declaration and state density bonus. first of all, i want to identify only two issues of the mitigated negative declaration that i find complexing. one is cumulative impacts of traffic have not been studied at all. that is just income prehensible. there are only 21 units. within a quarter mile there will be 522 dwelling units. that is minimum of what is going to happen. there is also 155770 square feet of medical offices, commercial offices and uses in quarter of a mile. all of that is only going to add 300 parking stayses. that is all within a quar

with these funds, states can help hundreds of thousands of providers reopen and stay open and provide safe and healthy learning environments for more than 5 million children. these funds will allow states to provide over 800,000 families with subsidies to pay for childcare. simply put, it is going to help working parents get back to work. this one-time investment is a real answer to a real problem our economy is facing right now. the fifth thing we are going to do, we are going to make it clear anyone collecting unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits. there are a few covid-19 related exceptions so that people are not forced to choose between their basic safety and a paycheck. but otherwise, that is the law. i know there has been a lot of discussion since friday's report that people are being paid to stay home rather than go to work. we don't see much evidence of that. that is a major factor. look, it is easy to say the line has been because of the generous unemployment benefits, that it is a major factor in labor shortages. ame

thank you for inviting us to provide testimony.i just want to say a few introductory words both about my commitment to working and really doubling the efforts to address this crisis. i share the comments of both both supervisors, as well as the prior commenters, thato we need to do better and find ways to address what is really the most serious crisis of my professional career. i think as you have heard, i am recently from new york city, where i worked for many years as an addiction medicine and primary care physician in the bronx, which is another extremely hard-hit and long-standing area of the country in terms of overdose. i know that with additional approaches and resources and creativity, that this city no doubt has, we can address the crisis that is before us. i very much welcome supervisor mandelman an opportunity to continue to speak further about ways we can both measure and change both our reporting, importantly, which no doubt needs to be more timely, as well as ways to incorporate the treatment on demand work into the v

it would be great if it was required that every provider provided for someone who qualifies. and also that some of the rules that make it difficult for low income families to except scribe to this low cost options are relaxed. good it's often the comcast program, still may require a family to and subscribes from something that they could not afford, go in order for a few months in order to subscribe to the low cost program. >> okay thank you. >> and miss views ochillo on those projects, as an operating principle, except that decrease the cost of broadband? very >> much so because part of what we know is when providers get federal funding, there is really no requirement for them to share their infrastructure. so essentially if somebody even goes nearby, essentially you need to start all over again when you have an open access network you have publicly owned infrastructure that everyone is tapping into so you get the best of both worlds in terms of having community infrastructure that essentially whatever profits generate from the stay in that community and then also you get th

can you provide an update on the implementation of this new rule? are you able to share any information to the subcommittee about how well things are going and other activities you have underway? >> thank you for the question and thank you for highlighting the importance of surface transportation security in what we do. the surface training rule like a lot of other things tsa and industry is doing has been impacted by the pandemic. we found a number -- we talk often about how much of an impact the pandemic had on evh and workers. the impact has been just as severe in surface operators as well. they were challenged to implement the rules, and we worked closely to provide enough likability and extensions and helping them implement the rule, we are still making good progress on that which as we continue to come back from the pandemic we see incremental progress against the surface training rule. i don't have any real concerns on the ability to meet that requirement. it was really impacted by the pandemic. generally speaking you also highlight the real

is able and willing to provide that.you look at the fragmentation that characterize the first tier of this pandemic, it frankly gave advantage to the virus so we are reaching out to countries all over the world are key allies and partners to make sure what we do is move out more robustly, a coordinated response and therefore get to some scale. i think the second is vaccines are absolutely critical, we are going to have to work on that throughout this response but we are also going to have to respond to the areas where we can prevent and prevent. me say a couple of things on vaccines and what we are doing on that front. number one, we are now the largest donor to kodak's, thanks to the generosity of congress, we are using our contribution to leverage and encourage other countries to increase their own contributions so we got adequate burden sharing's but we also get to the scale we need. we are looking at issues of supply and manufacturing. we need more vaccine. that's why the united states and development finance corpora

we provided a series of -- we provided a series of frequently asked questions on the website so that cfis can be better aware of how to take advantage of it. we host regulator sessions. >> i know you are going through the list. i hope we can keep working on this. and again, a tonic i won't ask you to comment on today. but this is -- i try to keep familiarizing my colleagues with, we've been working on i think an interesting proposal that for first generation home buyers. again, that helps people across all demographic backgrounds, a mortgage product that would include a interest rate subsidy that would have the homeowner in a sense pay the same normal amount they pay on a 30-year mortgage, but they would be obtaining a 20-year mortgage. the ability wealth building literally doubles if you have a 20-year mortgage versus 30-year. when we look at a wealth gap that's 10 to 1 between black families and white families, 7 to 1 between latino and white families n if we can build more equity on a quicker basis in home buyers, and i would ask my colleagues to trust me on the math on this. more
