the foreign assistance has been largely effective. we live today at the time of greatest development history in the whole history of the world. the indicators, i think have been most striking in global poverty rates. in terms of the percent of people who live under $1 a day, since the beginning of history, that number, as a share of our total population remained relatively steady until the industrial revolution as a share of the percentage of the population. it was relatively stable. the portion of people living in extreme poverty actually declined. although with population growth, the number of people living in extreme poverty actually increased until about 1980. and that's when the dramatic change really happened. between 1980 and 1995, there was a huge reduction in poverty rates from 1$1.5 billion to $80 million. that was a decline of nearly half in 27 years. that's incredible. this is an incredible progress. just think about that. a decline in the total number of people in extreme poverty from $1.5 billion to 8$800 million after a

foreign assistance and development. first we'll hear remarks from outgoing republican senator dick luger. that's outgoing republican senator dick luger. during his 20 minutes remarks he talks that u.s. foreign aid money is going to climate change programs over traditional education or food assistance programs. after that, we'll hear from the presidents of liberia, malawi and kosovo on developing their countries and a discussion on relief work in afghanistan, haiti, somalia and iran. dick luger is introduced by ravij shah. >> thank you for that introduction and hosting us for these next few days but for the deep and meaningful relationship that georgetown has displayed in partnering to produce frontiers in development. it's been a team effort with the georgetown team and development experts so thank you very much. i also want to take a moment to recognize that this really is an example of a wonderful public/private partnership with partners like the gates foundation, hewlett foundation and macarthur foundation coming tog

any sort of assistance they need. it is better for clients because they get immediate assistance rather than having to wait for a call back, but it also allows our department to manage a much higher caseload with the same or just a partial increase in staff. we did this largely in response to the state's abdication of their responsibility to fund our administration of state and federally mandated programs, and we had to respond with innovation and creativity at the local level. i am speaking to this and to our next program, in which we will see a similar phenomenon. the key to this is technology, and specifically, our ability to develop systems internally to support this sort of work. supervisor avalos: supervisor kim has a question. supervisor kim: i know the you have had two positions at least that look to be vacant since 2009, and given the sharp increase in the number of people and old, good to talk about those vacancies and how you have been able to meet the growing need. >> i think they are clerical vacancies. c

while foreign assistance

and receive assistance in different ways. one is to support them in the kinds of tight networks or networks that are actually to deliver help in emergencies. i think that's one of the reasons why i'm very interested in programs that would encourage the nonresidential fathers of these children to stay involved, to become more involved rather than be distanced in some cases by the policies that we have in place. so i think there are ways of using public housing policies, child support policies, to encourage that involvement rather than in some cases discourage it. >> ms. brown, when states describe how they spend their welfare dollars, a significant percentage of dollars is spent on services and activities that are characterized as, quote, other, end quote. can you comment on what these, quote, other, unquote, activities are and what challenges for policymakers are presented by having so much of the tanf expenditures unknown and what suggestions would you make for policymakers to achieve greater transparency on tanf expenditure

the majority of canadians absolutely want medically assisted dying but under very strict controls did numbers are around seventy percent and this has been consistent for almost three decades and i understand that you are an advocate for assisted suicide yes and why why are you such a strong advocate of this. first i want to say we use the word suicide a lot in in the in the literature but actually suicide implies people have a choice of whether to live or die when we talk about assisted dying we're talking about people who are suffering at the end of life and really there is some suffering that only gas can and and i i cared for my younger sister when she was carrying a breast cancer i cared for my mother after her stroke and both of these wonderful women had deaths that they did not want and both women wanted to have an assistant das oh you know sheila what critics might ask is is this essentially allow doctors to play god to decide who and when and how someone can die. one of the things that has come out and is very powerful is a report by dr margaret. printed in the journal of medi

the foreign assistance has been effective. the most personality question is as effectively as we can. we lived today at the time of history and the history of the world. the indicators most i think striking in terms of the reductions in global poverty rates and the people who live under $1 a day. since the beginning of history, that member has a population believes to be steady as a share of the percentage of the population. that was relatively stable. after the industrial revolution, the share or the portion of people living in poverty declined although with population growth, the number of people increased until about 1980. between 1980 and 1995, there was a huge reduction in poverty rates from 1.5 billion to to 800 million. that was a half of 27 years. that's incredible. think about that. the decline in the total number of people in extreme poverty from 1.5 billion to 800 million in a period of 27 years from the beginning of human history. that can't all be attributed to foreign assistance, but it coincides with the period

and foreign assistance. there was an interesting debate at the beginning of the obama administration. we can get into that if people are interested, but coming down to the decision made. it's in our healthy economies we can trade with and don't breed disease and have countries with a level of social stability, dignity and hope such that they don't breed terrorism, but come back to bite us. those are perfectly good principals for a country to speak to. there is also a fair amount of research that suggests that actually aid works better when the recipients don't think they are part of the grand plan. they think they are on an individual level if you think about it. since i have the luxury, we haven't hit the sweet spot of being able to explain to our citizens that it's not throwing money out windows and down rat holes, et cetera, etc. part of our self interest is al truism. our self interest is lies and in doing what's good for other people. this ties back on the debate you see play out about how the u.s. shou

an example is the assistance for needy families or tanif. it is a program to end dependences on government prom graps and to more broadly promote child well-being. over time the focus of tanif has shifted from working with adults to focus on getting work to a stream of purposes that are unconnected for job readiness. depending on the spending or the caseload, tanif is a welfare welfare to work program has been replaced with replaced with the emergence of tannif as a welfare program. in the year leading up to the expiration of tanif and and each subsequent year, the obama administration has failed to propose a reauthorization of the programs. if this committee decides to reauthorize tanif next year, we will have to decide whether to recalibrate it from a welfare to work program. and you have the accept that the tanif spending and much of the cash assistance is directed to the low income children, and we need to address the fact that the tanif spending is unaccounted for and the spending a and the services are not associated with child welfare

as of assisted suicide. we anticipate that there is going to be an appeal but what will happen is that parliament will be looking at the law and working we'll have the year in which to change it but we've had other things happen as well and one of the things that's hit our news today is that the physicians are mirroring in their support for a change in the law let the majority of canadians want so would you say that the majority of canadians do support assisted suicide. the majority of canadians absolutely want medically assisted dying but under very strict controls what the numbers are around seventy percent and this has been consistent for almost three decades and i understand that you are an advocate for assisted suicide yes and why why are you such a strong advocate of this is the first i want to say we used the word suicide a lot in in the in the literature but actually suicide implies people have a choice of whether to live or die when we talk about assisted dying we're talking about people who are suf

the case management assistance is always available the office of management assistance. the bulk of the proposed a distance -- proposed additions fall in the neighborhood development division. the neighborhood development division was very active in this past year. they were able to make 31 loan that create 83 jobs with just eight that rebels dollars -- $800,000. we opened a grocery store at several small businesses that have served as catalysts on third street and there are now weekly events happening and we continue the third street corridor business attraction at retention program. on that central market, the table tax and it has resorted it 450,000 square feet of new leases being signed. in the eight neighborhoods -- in eight of the new red districts we work in that participated marketplace initiative, they can see rates went down in a struggling economy and we take that to to the lark -- to the attention of our managers at the good works being done by stakeholders. that new initiatives -- supervisor avalos: on that -- supervisor chu: i have been out in my neighborho

larger number will preserve the assistance and would sharply downsize most development aid. almost everyone agrees it will be constrained for the foreseeable future. planners must try to squeeze the maximum value out of every dollar available. i would assert this morning that development assistance remains that for our own economic and moral standing in the world. even in the worst of times the united states remains a wealthy nation with interests in every corner of the globe. it is a key comcomponent of the united states security strategy. especially since the tragic events of september 11th 2001 with states with impoverished regulations can pose great threats to our nation. we have spent millions of dollars in recent years fighting wars. if properly targeted, it can improve united states connections to peoples and governments. this is why the national security, i strongly believe that no global superpower that claims to possess the moral high ground can afford to relink wish to prevent global disease. the promotion of economic opportunity and resistance to oppression. this

temporary assistance for needy families or tochb is one of those bedrocks. tanf gives people access to job training and education, and it helps fight the evil of poverty. today we will look at tanf and the new challenges facing american in poverty. until the 1996 reform law welfare was open ended. but through reform congress gave the system direction. it now focuses on jobs and promotes self-sufficiency, figuratively speaking it aims to teach people to fish. tanf now helps some people by funding child care, transportation and job search support. in 2 0us 5, the deficit reduction act changed the way states managed tanf case loads and countered participation in some programs. those changes did not focus on serving families and helping people find jobs. instead, some states used the changes to artificially reduce caseloads. and they used tanf funds for other programs. we saw this come to play during the great recession. tanf did not respond to the recession as many of us would have hoped. other safety net programs expanded to make sure families were properly fe

it comes in leasing assistance from northern california community loan fund and urban solutions, who have been helping to negotiate good long-term leases. it comes from grants for the arts project in the tenderloin for a multi use facility that will stabilize and number of community-oriented arts organizations for a long time. we have been working to cultivate support from private philanthropy and have encouraged a number of foundations to fund this work. oewd has made up to $11 million available for nonprofits in the long program. these funds could assist nonprofit organizations with acquisitions and may be of use in the multi-tenant art facility project i just described. finally, the benefit of a redevelopment is we have a tool to capture the future tax increments from private development and as debt -- as a city, we are looking at other public finance tools to accomplish a similar goal. i believe there may be an opportunity to provide financial system -- financial assistance to community-service parts facilities through this mechanism and i look forward to a dialogue and to such a

>> larry higby was bob haldeman's staff assistant. bofb had three staff assistants. we called it the beaver patrol. they were all little guys, young -- i don't mean little in stature, but i mean young, 23, 24. and larry was sort of the main guy. he was haldeman's closest staff assistant. so when -- everybody wanted a higby. if you had a higby, you had some status there in the white house. if higby came in and said something, you knew it came from haldeman, and he just came into my office one day, and my office then -- i had taken over haldeman's office. i had the office that adjoined the oval office. haldeman had moved to the grand big office down the hall where we had put spero agnew, and we had to kick the vice president out so haldeman could take that office. nixon was the first president to put the vice president in the west wing, to give him an office there. so higby said bob wants me to tell you that the president wants a taping system installed in the oval off fills and he wants to make sure it's a good taping system, and he'll talk to you more about it later.

we went for getting off cash assistance as the cast rather than employment. -- cash assistance ratherhan employment. the states have indicated the ability to innovate. they are asking for more flexibility. why shouldn't we give it to them? sometimes i start to sound more view.the republican the why shouldn't we allow the test to be give -- getting people employed rather than getting off of cash assistance? demonstratet they they have the ability to achieve the goals we have set out for them in welfare reform. as we consider the reauthorization of this program, shouldn't we allow the states more flexibility in order to achieve it. ? >> yes, we should. i think we were right in 1996. the states made excuses like, these mothers are not people who are working, and so forth. i have visited several offices in your state. the word welfare has been cast into the deaths. there have been a lot of big changes. under those circumstances, we should give more flexibility to the states. the relentless increase in state in the crews -- tightening the screws on requirements has unexpected results and t

she was assistant secretary for europe when i was here. and we had taken an interest in central asia after 9/11, as colin powell said american troops come with values. and we were putting a lot of american troops through central asia. and i remember along about 2004, i mentioned to beth that i was going to be traveling to central asia, and trips to koz ak stan and kyrgyzstan. she said, great, let's go together. i had never traveled with beth before. she and i were sometimes like that on human rights. and we were in kyrgyzstan, we were in beachkeck, and we at drl had funded for $750,000 a new printing press in kyrgyzstan. and the previous -- the only printing press previously had been run by the president's son-in-law. so on certain days newspapers didn't get printed in kyrgyzstan. and we were going to cut the ribbon on it that day, beth and i. and we went before that ceremony to central asia university, which is probably one of the most prestigious universities in the region. and our ambassador there said to us at the time, they're going t

the va needs assistance with compliance tasks now that the bill has become so complex. diverting resources to the rule has proven problematic and leaves no one to fulfill the saa's historic role of providing training to institutions on broader education issues there are varying roles within the arena and tasks should be distributed to the agencies best suited and situated to accomplish them. mr. chairman, this concludes navpa's statement. as a veteran, and on behalf of the members of navpa, i would like to thank you and the members of the subcommittee for your leadership on an issue of critical importance to america's veterans. >> mr. nasserian, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, distinguished members of the committee. my name is barmak nassirian. i'm associate executive director with the american association of collegiate registrars and admissions officers, which we mercifully have reverted to aacrao. we are delighted to be able to participate in this discussion. i have submitted a written testimony for the record. but i'd like to take this opportunity

well, an individual on medication-assisted therapy is covered under the ada. they are in a therapeutic environment, and so it is illegal to discriminate against that person. now, that said, there are some regulations that militate against certain medications. for instance, if you are to dot on methadone, then you can't operate a truck or bus under the dot; you can't use their-the dot approval process. but that has less to do with being on medication-assisted treatment and more to do with their policies about certain kinds of medications, and even though there are challenges to that, that tends to be the issue. so, in short, mat is covered by the ada, and an individual should not be discriminated against because they're on medication-assisted treatment. now if they're currently using, despite the fact they're on medication-assisted treatment, then it's a different matter. the ada won't protect them. and when we come back, i want to continue to talk a little bit about that and also about some access issues. we'll be right back.

that means half of them get no visit, no assistance and no oversight this year. we think that's not an improvement but a step backward. we can work with them to solve very quickly. >> is that both for profit and not for profit institutions? >> all facilities. >> would you say that bad practices are limited to for profit schools or do you find it in not for profit schools as well? >> absolutely not. they're limited to schools period. we find as many issues in public schools as we do in private proprietary schools. administratively speak, the proprietary schools probably do a better job with the paperwork because that's part of their business practice to do things right. they depend upon that approval to continue doing things correctly. public schools don't worry about the administrative stuff. that's not to say all public schools mess up the paperwork and private schools don't. i find more problems in the public schools, in terms of accurate reporting, than i do in the private schools. >> thank you. >> it seems like we have a collective amnesia in the room about t

that means fully half of them get no visit, no assistance and no oversight this year. we think that that's not an improvement in oversight, but rather, a step backward. it also does not allow us to help the schools to fix any problems that we might find that we can easily work with them to solve very quickly. >> is that both for profit and not for profit institutions? >> all facilities. >> and would you say that bad practices are limited to for-profit schools or do you find it in not for profit schools as well? >> absolutely not. they're limited to schools, period. we find as many issues in public schools as we do in private proprietary schools or private nonprofit schools. administratively speaking, they probably do a better job with the paperwork. that's part of their business practice, to do things right because they depend upon that approval in doing things correctly to continue getting the benefits. where the public schools do not have a profit line to worry about, they don't necessarily worry about the administrative things as much either. now, that's not to say

the veterans have access to other assistants. it's less of a lisc in some ways. i wanted to throw that out. >> now i think we will open up the floor to questions. observations, from the audience if you have any. >> come to the mike. >> the director of the mayor's office. veterans affairs from d.c. i definitely think you hit the target by talking about targeting this at the local level. the last time they passed a resolution, they were in 1974. what we need to do is call a summit of the governors and mayors and executives and nonservice providers and the chaim perof commerce and the local people to target this whole issue. you have less and less elected officials who have a military background. there is a huge education issue that needs to be done. the thing is not going to be addressed until we get right down to the local neighborhood commission levels. we are actually telling people and putting veteran housing in their back yard. and secondly, i think it's time for dod to take a portion of their budget, maybe 3% and reinvest in the coming home issues for veteran

the interagency committee on foreign assistance and human-rights and foreign assistance. there was a mechanism to force consideration of the different views and bring about some policy coherence in an ideal world. the effort which still believe is the case. we criticize as some of you may remember for selectivity come for inconsistency. the effort was to see that every instance to the degree possible we proceed human rights objectives as part of the foreign policy in the united states recognizing that there are other interests that were also important. to some degree the was the object. we believe and the gentleman was here at the time tom pickering to pursue that effort, and we did it in a variety of ways. quiet diplomacy affecting aid, the efforts to vote in the multilateral institution. we did what we could. all i can see is the people that i worked with and i think it's important for all of us to remember the role that he played as the first both facing heart of the department was an enormously valuable and had a tremendous impact, and to some degree we have others he

the assistance would be limited to aiding commercial banks, not the government that is suffering from a heavy budget deficit much like greece. it's not considered easy to calm market worries about spain's fiscal trouble. the eu aid would further increase the amount of its debt. spain is the fourth country to seek assistance after greece, ireland and portugal. >>> panasonic and sony plan to team up for the next generation tv. now it's official. the two companies say they plan to come up with technology for the mass production of organic, e-lectroluminesce ennc displays by the end of next year. these displays are thinner and produce clearer images than lcd panels. they plan to develop large 50-inch displays for tvs and professional use. sony and panasonic have long been rivals in the electronics market, but they have decided to join forces to catch up with south korea makers in ole production. ? japan, smartphone sales tripled in 2011 over the previous year to more than 24 million units. panasonic has launched a new microwave oven this month. automatically sets the temperature and heati

another juror's has been chastised a former assistant coach mike mcqueary's father. mike mcqueary is the one who saw sandusky of using a boy in the shower. he and his father are expected to testify. it is simply not done. when you are choosing a jury, if you tried to make sure that there are no ties. >> sandusky is expected to face some of his accusers in court. prosecutors say that he met his alleged victims through the second mile, a charity that he founded for disadvantaged children. with lots of testimony expected, the trial is expected to last several weeks. the jury will not be sequestered. it will be allowed to go home every night. brianne carter, abc 7 news. >> a man accused of ramming a gasoline-laced suv into a building is expected in court today. this happened friday night at connecticut avenue and l street nw. we're learning more about the man charged in the case. john gonzalez is live in northwest with details. >> 32-year-old charles ball will be at d.c. superior court at 1:00 this afternoon charged with assault to with attempt to kill and arson. this la

and so i think one important thing for development assistance and foreign assistance and foreign policy is that they have to be -- to go in line with each other. foreign policy should support development assistance. and i'm going to bring a case as an exampthe case of yemen as an example. i think foreign policy, particularly counterterrorism efforts in yemen, have to some extent undermined development assistance. and so over ten years, the counterterrorism assistance to the former regime has helped strengthen the grip of saddat, who's a dictator, over power, over military, over resources, and only made him a stronger dictator. at the same time, usaid continue to do great work in terms of helping yemen improve health, education services, et cetera, et cetera. but no matter how much development work you do, if your government is helping a dictator, it's not going to work. it's going to work probably in immediate term but in the long-term, it's not going to work. and so i think -- and i'm not judging intentions, of course. i'm sure their intentions are good. i think that lessons learned or

it's the idea of strategic partnerships and assistance. i look at brazil as a wonderful example of that. i would love to hear about a conversation in the united states about how to eliminate poverty in our country. i think they are bold plans and models. i don't see the dichotomy between doing something bold like that, like eliminating poverty and valuing and recognizing local principles and practices. i see these as two things that have to go together. my family has been involved in community activities in the united states, and my family said why are you working overseas because there are problems here in the united states, and why do you have to go somewhere else? it's precisely the fact that i understand the situation and the situation of the grassroots perspective in the united states that i can use that lens to look at national policy decisions and look at international policy decisions, and understand kind of more or less intuitively whether they are going to work or not. again, we don't have to see these two as being mutually exclu

do you think there is an appetite for a broader support for a benefit to assist with housing? >> i think we all agree that the right housing bill is affordable veterans bills. typically for everything we read and seen and mixed communities. i guess there should be at least two components of that. one is maybe a production program and how we deal with the problem now. a rental subsidy and proposal and economists circulating around rental insurance for veterans and for those who do have a transitional need in crisis that are at a disadvantage and because there is an elevated rate of unemployment. and that's what we should be looking at. they are the most successful social program in the country. what should our generations look like? >> each community will have to have its own response, but maybe as we talk about veterans with disabilities and whether they are emotional illness or physical disabilities that may impact their earnings potential. it's clear what the folks need and that's affordable housing. we have people in this audience who had made careers out of putting togethe

and so we know that nutrition assistance is a lifeline for the families that need it. but let me conclude by saying, i also want to make sure every single dollar goes to the families that need it, and that's why in this bill, this reform bill, this bill that cuts $23 billion on the deficit, also focuses on waste, fraud, and abuse in the nutrition title, because we want to make sure that every dollar goes to those families. every family -- every child that needs help receives that help. and we want to make sure that not one dollar is abused in that process. and so what do we have in the underlying bill? well, we've at least two cases in michigan where we've had lottery winners, amazingly, continue to get food assistance, which is outrageous. we stopped that, period. lottery winners would immediately lose assistance and, i mean, hope hopefully wouldn't even have to say that but the process the way that's been set un, we have to make that very, very clear. end misuse by college students who are actually able to afford food, are living at home with their pawrntses, going t

opening statements begin in the trial of former assistant coach jerry sandusky.earning more about the jurors who will decide his fate. brianne carter explains. let's opening statements in the trial are expected to get under way in a matter of hours. we could learn new details as his lawyers and the prosecution laid out their case. sandusky is accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 10-year -- over a 15-year period. he met the alleged victims at a charity that he founded for disadvantaged children. the jury is made up of seven women and five men. many of them have ties to penn state. among the 12, a senior student who works at the university athletic department. and a professor. another juror's husband has ties to former assistant coach mike mcqueary's father. mike mcqueary is the one who allegedly saw sandusky abusing a boy in the shower. more than 100 witnesses could be called. a spokesman for the widow and son of joe paterno says the two are not expected to take the stand. we are expecting this trial to last about three weeks. reporting live, brianne carter,

we also requested an attorney and a legal assistant to assist us with a dedicated consumer protection unit that we happen to believe will be cost effective and will pay for itself over the course of the entirety of this two-year budget cycle. as most of you are aware, we had a long history of doing affirmative litigation in the city attorney's office that has always been supported by the mayor's office and board of supervisors throughout the course of my tenure. it resulted from an effort started by my predecessor where we used affirmative litigation to receive tobacco money, to which extend we still get $50 million a year. i have continued that tradition and you have continue to support that, i'll be -- albeit subject to reductions over the past several years. last year, i back filled through some settlements i had to make sure there was money stay in constant but less reliance on the general fund. it has been something that has paid dividends for the general fund of the city and county of san francisco. for example, last year, i spent $1.5 million of previous settlement money that i

s role in approving schools and courses, what specific ways can the saas assist the va in preventing predatory practices? >> i'll be happy to answer that, mr. chairman. contrary to the general statement and with great respect, compliance surveys do not necessarily look at that sort of thing. compliance surveys look at payment appropriate -- or the appropriate payments, things like that. i was on a compliance survey not long ago at one of our larger institutions and with the va employee who asked the school to provide copies of their advertising and we looked at it and it was perfectly fine. it's hard to tell what a predatory practice may be in a compliance survey. it's much easier to talk to veterans and say why did you choose this school? another thing that came out when i was participating in a gao interview about predatory practices was several of our nasa colleagues, one of the questions was basically what is a predatory and aggressive recruiting practice? and one of my colleagues said, you know, it may be that what we perceive to be aggressive is what veterans perceive to be goo

and so i think one important thing for development assistance and foreign assistance and foreign policy is that they have to be to go in line with each other. foreign policy should support development assistance and i'll bring the case as an example. i think foreign policy, particularly counterterrorism have to some externt undermined development assistance. so over ten years the counterterrorism assistance, they've strengthened the grip of fatah, and the military and resources and only made him a stronger dictator and they continue to do great work in terms of helping to improve health and no matter how much development work you do, if your government is helping a dictator it isn't going to work. it will work probably in the medium term, but in the long term it's not going to work, and so i think, and i'm not judging intention intentions i think the lessons learned and the biggest lesson learned from this is that dictators are not good agents for change. dictators create problems and create wars and they're not a good investment. >> some people wanted to apply, but they're looking arou

and to assist using the limited enforcement resources we have the night of. as far as are influencing the event -- >> that is not a one-day event, correct? >> my point is that you cannot help to improve it, but we can impose these improvements. >> i wanted to make a comment about think saturday. it is run completely by the sisters and funded by them. talking with them and being involved in their organization, they are extremely overwhelmed with manpower and do not have the resources. i think it would be great if we could somehow offer them assistance because i think they are looking for it and i think they understand the issues. all of a sudden, they are planning for this yvette and there is no support for them. i think they are looking for support and ways to change it to make it more positive. i think they are a little bit confused as to how to do that. >> we are happy to assist if you would like to do some interface as well. supervisor wiener's office is interested in improving the event. and then any other external groups that might also assist with finan
