um, and i, you know, frankly, i think secretary bryson set this up very well. i think he marched us through why manufacturing matters, why it's such an innovative sector, why it has such a dramatic impact on wages and incomes critical to growing the middle class, why it's important to the trade deficit, broader fiscal balance of the united states, why it interplays with environmental sustainability the potential for clean tech. i think he really set this up well, and i think the, um, competes report coming out of the department of commerce does that, um, in the same vein. um, what i'd like to do is sort of really from your particular areas of expertise and focus sort of drill down further. and, dominic, i thought i'd start with you because i think one of the most interesting piece of work coming out of mckinsey, um, daniel patchow is here, michael park, other of your colleagues is this focus on advanced industry and the need for the united states to, um, as glenn said with a clear laser-like focus to engage on or to understand that there are certain sectors of

commissioner fong: jackie bryson. >> we want to take these items up now as projects or call them at the beginning of the regular calendar? >> we will call these items again later. thank you. mr. zoning administrator, you will consider items of and at that time? thank you. we move on to commissioner questions and matters. item #8, consideration of adoption of your minutes from your last hearing of last year, the first one from october 6, 2011. from your special meeting of november 17, 2011, and your regular meeting of november 70, 2011. your regular meeting of december 1 year get your special meeting of december 8. in your regular meeting of december 50. following any modification, i asked you would stop the drop minutes. -- adopt the draft minutes. commissioner fong: any comments? a motion. commissioner more: motion to approve. >> second. >> thank you. motion on approval of the draft minutes -- [calling roll] thank you, commissioners. any other commission matters? commissioner fong: commissioner antonini. commissioner antonia menini: congratulations to christie the lobine olague, even t

people on the building are going to move in without talking to jackie bryson and her crew. there needs to be notification of the neighborhoods. whatever can be done for the transparency needs to happen. it is going to save the city lawsuits. and i really believe we can teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. we just need to sing in our own keys and all be in the room at the same time. thank you. president miguel: thank you. >> good afternoon. i wanted to talk about the washington project, which will be taken off before too long. we have heard alternative uses proposed for sea wall lot 351. this refers to the asian neighborhood design so-called community plan. one of the things that is striking to me is how amazingly closely the goals called up for in the a.n.d. plan are satisfied by the eight washington project. what they asked for, this delivers, with the exception of allowing change at the swimming and tennis club. we heard the plan calls for a bicycle transit center instead of a surface parking lot for cars. a great idea. who could possibly oppose that? but who is su

make it said that jackie bryson does not have to turn into jackie chan to get up and down the street. back grex any other public comment? -- >> any other public comment? >> that afternoon. i am chair of the western soma citizens planning task force and some of you may know that i also served as the neighborhood representative of the entertainment commission for the last eight years. no longer on the commission and i have to make it clear i am only speaking on my own behalf today. i am also speaking as a resident 35-year resident of south of market. i live within a block of the 11th street corridor and have expertise in the area of neighborhood nightclub relations. there is no doubt that there have always been bad players on 11th street. the dna lounge is not one of them. their security has always been excellent. they have developed a particular expertise in handling crowds, especially those under 21 since they got their type 47 liquor license. they made major physical improvements to the building, tens of thousands of dollars worth of structural improvements to mitigate sound issues a

. >> next speaker, jackie bryson. next speaker, mark bruno. >> thank you. my name is mark bruno. i am a member of the swimming club at 8 washington for the last three years. i have lived in north beach for 25 years. i worked at the st. peter and paul church and throughout the city, specifically helping homeless families find places to find food and shelter. i came here to speak specifically about notice, because the city has failed, in my opinion, the members of the swimming club and the tennis club, telling them about what is going on. i want to correct one thing that was stated by the first speaker in public comment, which is that we are all very wealthy people who belonged to the swimming club. i am not wealthy. i work for st. vincent. that is my job. the pay is almost nothing. the reason i can afford to go to this club is because for my health i like to swim. you do not have to belong to the tennis part. i do not, because it is expensive. i belong to the swimming part. this contradicts with the idea that it is a bunch of wealthy people. i do not belong to any of these groups,

bryson? obviously someone who is involved in issues in that neighborhood. both of you would benefit from that communication. thank you. >> we have a motion from commissioner fung to deny both jurisdiction requests. president garcia: aye. vice rpesident hwang: aye. commissioner goh: aye. >> we are now moving on to item no. 5. -- item #6. 1290 fell st. she will not be attending the hearing and has asked that the board decide the case on the papers she has submitted. carla short this year and we can give her time to speak. >> thank you. karl a short, department of public works and bureau of urban forestry. i would like to take a moment to congratulate commissioner goh and wish her the best of luck. i do not know if the public realizes how much time the commissioners put into preparing for these hearings. as a staff person, it is satisfying to know that the efforts we make in preparing our briefs and attending the hearings are really being very awfully considers. you've always taken time to consider the briefs before the hearing and always the testimony present

are showing somewhere here, can't find it that the first application with fios and our friends from bryson so we actually have an app so you can actually instead of having a box for fios you can give a three-year smart smart tv. >> that's great for consumers. >> i heard you talk about energy. it will help reduce energy use in your home. the new l.e.d. sets are very energy efficient. lg was the first to support the new energy star most efficient category. we have a tvs currently more than anybody else in in the most efficient category and in 2012 we will have even more. i want to show you the most energy-efficient products in the world. you may have heard about organic light emitting dials. this is a 55-inch oled and we have been showing l.e.d. for a couple of years. 15-inch two years, 20-inch last year. it's really big and it's a real product. >> it's really thin. >> it's really thin, four millimeters. less than three sixteenths of an inch. if you look at another tv screen at this angle you would not be able to even see the picture but it has such high contrast, high-resolution and color s

and frankly, i think secretary bryson set this up very well. i think he marched us through why manufacturing matters, why it is such an innovative set for, why it is such a dramatic impact on wages and incomes, critical to growing in the middle class. white is important to the trade deficit, broader fiscal balance of the united states. whited intervals for sustainability for clean tech. i think you set this up well and i think that competes report coming out of the department of commerce says that in the same vein. what i look like to do a sword from your particular areas of expertise and focus, sort of chill down further. i'm dominic, i thought i'd start with you because one of the most interesting piece of work coming out of mckinsey coming daniel patchett was here, michael park, either of your colleagues. is this focused on advanced industry and in need for the united states to come ask one said, with a cleared laser like focus, to engage on or to understand that there are certain factors of the american economy, aerospace, automotive, medic

the program you talked about, secretary bryson, is important.are a big company, we have a lot of resources. putting together an investment for new plants in charlotte and kansas and iowa -- we are expanding a light rail training facility in sacramento -- we have resources to do that, but it is complex dealing with federal agencies, state and local governments, making sure you get all the tax credits and incentives you can get, but making sure you can get the plant built on time and on budget. a very complex. i think that is something that having something like a select usa can really help you take that in a soup to nuts. >> thank you very much. brian, intel is the tool of the united states, without any doubt. what can we do to help you in any respect -- intel notwithstanding, notwithstanding the obstacles, as repeated the it expanded in the united states. the state of oregon happens to be at beneficiary of that. happens to be my home state. we ought to be able to improve. we ought to respond to your presence here, your commitment here, the extra

two outstanding members of my cabinet, interior secretary ken salazar and commerce secretary, john brysonused on what brings us here today. and that's creating jobs and boosting tourism. now, you just heard what a huge difference tourism makes for small businesses like ruben's. every year tens of millions of tourists all over the world come to visit america. makes sense. we've got the greatest can country on earth, people want to come. as folks in orlando know, that's good for our economy. it means people are renting cars and they're staying in hotels and they're eating at restaurants and they're checking out the sites. it means people are doing business here in the united states. in 2010, nearly 60 million international visitors helped the tourism industry generate over $134 billion. tourism is the number one service that we export. number one. and that means jobs. more money spent by more tourists means more businesses can hire more workers. it's a pretty simple formula. and that's why we're all here today. to tell the world that america is open for business. we want to welcome you. and

participants included john bryson, robert reuben, and members from dupont.is is led by former white house budget director, alice rivlin. >> good morning. we're here today about ideas for strategies of making the u.s. economy more competitive and creating more jobs. we have to start from where we are. where we are is a difficult spot as all of us know. we have to start from a realistic look at why the economy is struggling. why do we have 8.5% unemployment and a lot higher number if you include all of the people who are either looking for work and have gotten discouraged or who have a job, but would like a better job or would like to work more hours. why has unemployment stayed so high for so long? what is standing in the way of a more rapid recovery? the job of this panel is to focus on why we are where we are and where we might be going. one thing that you may be very glad of is you're not going to hear any political here, no references to all the fault of the democrats or all the fault of the republicans. you'll hear no politics, but sober analysis of what

i think secretary bryson is going to refer to it in his remarks when he's on the panel. for the first time in my many, many trips to washington, finally bringing together universities, big corporations, small companies and government departments to take taxpayer dollars that's already being spent and focus it. and focus it with the input of the private sector and our institutions, our research institutions, and honing in on the pillars that matter and just to repeat them for you, secretary bryson will address some i'm sure. which technology? we've already identified the technology areas inclusive of energy efficiency and renewables, advanced sensing, advanced materials design, information technologies and nanomanufacturing technologies. we addressed shared infrastructure, how to get the synergy of the whole. this is the -- lack of sin gi of the part, lack of manufacturing hubs is one idea that's coming up as a proposal. third, education workforce development. here the community colleges come in. taking from the german model and taking the high school diploma and retoolin

congress secretary john bryson and the head of the small business administration, karen mills. the discussion was held at the eisenhower executive office building. >> thanks for coming in today. welcome to the insourcing american jobs forum at the white house. we appreciate everybody's patience as we reconvene here from the opening of the president and these from. we have a great lineup. we have two panels today full of oath business leaders and elected officials talking about their experiences doing exactly that, insourcing american jobs and bringing jobs back to the country and increasing their investments here in the u.s.. and how to try to make sure we set the appropriate conditions in order to be able to encourage that across the board as well. so we are going to kick off with a quick start by having some opening remarks from the director of the national economic council, dr. gene sperling. [applause] >> thank you so much for being here. there is no question, coming back from the worst recession since the great depression is tough sledding, no doubt about it, and there is

and then i think the program you talked about, secretary bryson, it's like the u.s. it is very difficult. we have a lot of resources, we're a big company. so putting together new investment for new plants like the ones in charlotte and kansas and iowa, we're also expanding our light rail train facility out in sacramento, we have the resources to go and do that. but for smaller companies i can imagine it's very complex dealing with the all the federal agencies and state and local governments, making sure you're getting all the tax credits and incentives you can get, but also making sure you can get the plant built on time and on budget and have permits and things that export. very complex, and i think that's something that having something like select usa where they can really help you take that thing from soup to nuts, i think, will be a big help. >> eric, thank you very much. brian, intel is a jewel of the united states without any doubt. what can we do to help you in any respect make it such -- intel notwithstanding costs, notwithstanding obstacles has repeatedly e

frankly, i think secretary bryson set this up very well. i think he marched us through why manufacturing matters, white it is such an innovative sector, wide it is such a dramatic impact on wages and incomes, critical to growing the middle- class, white it is important to the trade deficit, broader fiscal balance of the united states, why it into place with environmental sustainability, the potential for clean tech. i think he really set this up well, and the report out of the department of commerce does that in the same vein. what i would like to do is sort of, really from your particular areas of expertise, is focus, sort of drill down further. dominic barton, i thought i would start with you. one of the most interesting pieces of work coming out of mckinsey, daniel and michael are here, other of your colleagues, is this focus on advanced industry. and the need for the united states to, as glen said, with a clear, a laser-like focus, to understand that there's certain sectors of the american economy, aerospace, automotive, defense, medica

you'll hear from commerce secretary john bryson, former deputy secretary of state strobe talbott, andmer treasury secretary robert rubin. also the heads of dupont, alcoa and a number of other corporations. again, an all-day discussion on the economy and jobs about to get under way here from the brookings institution in a moment. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> we'd like to get started on it. i'm strobe talbott, and it's my honor to work here at the brookings institution and to be associated with a number of terrific projects including the one that we're going to hear a little bit about in the course of today. this is the fourth forum of what we call our growth through innovation project or initiative. it's the second one with that we are conducting in public. and i want to give you just a little bit of background before we get started with the program itself

outstanding members of my cabinet, interior secretary ken salazar -- [applause] and commerce secretary john bryson. [applause] they are focused on what brings us here today, and that is creating jobs, and boosting tourism. you just heard what a huge difference tourism makes for small businesses. every year tens of millions of tourists all over the world come to visit america. it makes sense. it is the greatest country on earth. people want to come. as folks in orlando know, that is good for our economy. people are renting cars, stake in hotels, eating in restaurants, checking out the sights. it means people are doing business in the united states. in 2010, nearly 60 million international businesses help to the tourism industry generate over $134 billion. tourism is the number one service -- number one, and that means jobs. more money spent by tourists means that businesses can hire more workers. it is a pretty simple formula. that is why we are here today, to tell the world that america is open for business. we want to welcome you. and to take concrete steps to boost american's tourism industry so

transportation secretary ray lahood was on hand for the opening defense and commerce secretary john bryson, energy secretary steven chu back come epa administrator lisa jackson and the labor department's director of the office of recovery for all zero communities and workers jay williams are all taking part in of osha activities this week. and the new of social is a reminder to me nicu u.n. shorty -- of the fact that in the face of stiff opposition the president a tough choice to help provide the auto industry with the temporary support it needed to rebuild their companies and get moving again. this was a difficult decision, and came with significant risk. but the president was not willing to walk away from those workers, and to allow the great american automobile industry does bear the could disappear. today the industry is coming back, creating jobs and moving cars off the line. last month the bottom automotive industry added nearly -- rather 11,000 positions, bringing the total number of jobs added in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 36,000. the industry added 100,000 jobs over the course

we've had in 2001 and someone said -- secretary bryson said we've had a couple hundred thousand and wey be able to repeat better do a little bit better as the economy recovers. i don't encode the next 10 years we will likely forget much additional employment for manufacturing. i am one of those people who thinks the main reason for that is because of technology that it takes only two people to make a ton of steel, where it used to take 10 people to make a ton of steel. but whether that's true or not, the importance of manufacturing and certainly competitiveness of the u.s. economy is terribly important. we cannot go back to that. , mo 6% of gdp trade deficits that we have before we ran into this recession. i think i would be a significant drag on growth and make it difficult for us to get back to full employment. i think it would also create a new imbalance and capital flows and trade of the kind that we have before. so i do believe manufacturing is tremendously important. and the future of u.s. can edit ms is heavily tied to manufacturing. so what that sort of guided preamble i guess
