it's actually senior staffers within the commission who ruled that out, again, because the commission doesn't want to encourage speculation, ion though some of the speculation might point to co-conspirators in the assassination. >> this is the zapruder camera as it's stored at the national archives. >> abraham zapruder is a dallas women's wear manufacturer who on the day of the assassination wanted to record images of the. the's motorcade passing through de de de dealey plaza. this is his bell & howell movie camera and it turns out he captures all of the assassination. it's 20 seconds of film. it's certainly the most important piece of evidence that the warren commission had. it, as i say, documented every essential moment of the assassination and it acted essentially as a clock on the assassination. it could suggest when individual shots were fired and when individual shots hit the body of president kennedy and governor connally. zapruder very quickly after the assassination sold the film to "life" magazine. and that created an awkward situation where the warren commission didn't imm

you can see there's a commission exhibit number on there. commission exhibit 18. and it has all of his handwritten items, including a map, addresses and telephone numbers. as you would expect. the final item is a map of mexico city. oswald made a trip to mexico city prior to the assassination. and brought this map home. this was acquired by dallas police and the fbi and eventually the warren commission as well. on this side of the map they have a sort of smaller map with tourist spots, which are identified on this side. as can you tell, certain things were circled. it was like that when we received it. obviously, we wouldn't add anything like that. the backside is a larger map. again, with several items circled. i had found in secondary sources people have written that these -- some of the items that are circled, and i assume it's on this side, were actually the embassies of cuba and the ussr, but i have not found the primary documentation of that. it's probably in the records that would document specifically what is circled on here. of course, the context for the

the warren commission did not believe the commission's findings. >> president johnson obviously is thrust into power by the assassination. his initial instinct is not to have a federal investigation of the assassination. as it turns out presidential assassination in 1963 was not a federal crime. if there was going to be a trial of anyone, it would have to be arranged by the local and state officials in texas johnson also said he didn't want a bunch of, as he put it, carpetbaggers going into his home state of texas to run this investigation. he wanted it handled by the state, the county and officials in dallas. but within days of the assassination, conspiracy theories started to spin some of those focused on lyndon johnson as a suspect in the murder of his predecessor. the conspiracy theories are spinning so wildly, i have to bring an end to it by creation of an independent commission based in washington to investigate all that could be learned about the assassination and about this man, lee harvey oswald who was apparently the president's assassin. and johnson settles on chief justice ear

in some cases the ethicings commission receives a complaint, the staff investigates it, the commission decides to dismiss it and the entire process is confidential, not at public hearing. only if if the >> what's the value of the assets managed by the board? >> approximately 20 billion. >> and how many employees are impacted, if you will, in terms of the retirement? how many employees are we talking about? >> active and retirees we have over 56,000 members. >> okay. what i would say is i personally think we have a responsibility to these workers, to these retirees to make sure that when you have people that are part of this seven member body that oversee $20 billion in assets, that the individuals are complying with the highest ethical standards and i think in this case we're not sure one way or the other whether or not the law was violated. and i actually think it's a disservice to those individuals. , and quite frankly a disservice to this individual to move forward without giving the individual the opportunity to say something. i don't think it makes sense for how much we value comp

a very dedicated member of the warren commission staff took the original notebook, which the commission had a copy of, and this typewritten summary that the fbi had prepared supposedly for the convenience of the commission and went page by page to see if anything was missing or anything had been misstated in the typewritten version. he discovered the fbi's name and all this other material had been removed in what appeared to be an effort to hide from the warren commission the fact that the fbi did have oswald under what appears to be pretty aggressive surveillance before the assassination. >> there's also a story of an artifact of a letter that oswald wrote to hosty that he himself destroyed, is that true? >> that's an amazing story. we now know that oswald was so agitated about the fbi's surveillance of him and his family before the assassination that he actually went to the dallas field office of the fbi in early november 1963 and presented some sort of letter in which he protested the surveillance. people in the fbi office in dallas would later say that oswald appeared to be very ang

the warren commission. the second item that you requested is lee harvey oswald's address book. so this is a custom made container made by our conservation staff. and again, this is acid free, this is mylar, and they've got in handy little lift so that you can get it out of its well without having to pull on it. you can see there's a commission exhibit there, commission exhibit 18, and it has all of his handwritten items including a map, addresses and telephone numbers that you would expect. the final item is a map of mexico city. oswald made a trip to mexico city prior to the assassination and brought this map home. this was acquired by dallas police and the fbi and eventually the warren commission as well. this side of the map they have a sort of smaller map with tourist spots which are identified on the side. as you can tell certain things were circled. it was like that when we received it. obviously, we wouldn't add anything like that. the back side is a larger map. again, with several items circled. i h

as well as to the high commission of human rights. the commission of inquiry did not have access. mr. president we cannot remain , silent in the face of this nightmare. those responsible for this terror, first and foremost the north korean authorities, should be held to account for these crimes. the crimes will not go unpunished. it is a moral obligation for the international community that was underscored. there is no doubt these crimes in terms of their scale, the systematic nature are all crimes against humanity. the recommendation of the commission of inquiry that the situation be referred to the icc is one that should therefore be considered carefully by this council. the court is a very guarantee of equitable and effective justice. the fight against impunity of justice for the victims and future consolidation are at stake. -- reconciliation are all at stake. the office on the ground which is currently set up should monitor the recommendations of the report and developments of the situation. they also have to continue to gather information on violations committed. we would li

commission in this case will resolve it. there are a couple different ways the ethics commission resolves issues like this. one is a person can ask for advice, a public request for advice from the ethics commission. they then draft a public resfons saying here's what your statement of incompatible activities means. that's a public process. when mr. huish forwarded the complaint to the ethics commission he instigated a confidential process of ethic enforcement action. i don't know how long that process may take, but at this point it's confidential so i don't know where it stand and i understand the board -- >> it is possible that the ethics commission could decide either way depending on their interpretation of that. >> that's right. there's an matter of ethics. they could dismiss it, preach a settlement where she could pay monetary penalties, or hold a public hearing leading to a determination. >> what is the amount of the penalties here? >> under the charter and local ethics law, the ethics commission has the ability to imp

for the commission. i think they felt it would be important to have that sort of professional staff, whether on a full-time basis or part-time basis, and in discussions with the board of supervisors about this on the report we fell that the board of supervisors were more likely to take this forward than the ethics commission staff and we'd hope that you would look at it as part of the next budget hearing and sort of leave it back in your court for further action. there are also a number of items in the resolution that the board of supervisors adopted last september after this committee acting that called for further action by the board of supervisors right around this time so i'm not sure how you're putting that information forward. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public who'd like to provide public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay, so there are lists of recommendations from the board and specifically for items 2, 11, 16, 18 and 21. i will star

high commission of human rights. i thank you. >> i think the representative of lithuania for her statement. i now give the floor to the representative of argentina. >> thank you very much, mr. president. we thank the sg for political affairs and the asg for human rights. for the respective briefings. i am not going to repeat what is already described in the report. however, i will make more explicit the position of argentina on this point. argentina is following with grave concern that the situation in the dprk. argentina has voted in favor of each the resolutions adopted in the competent bodies, the human rights council and also in the committee of the ungm. among the most recent resolution of the human rights council and resolution of the general assembly. both condemn in the strongest terms the gross, widespread and systematic violations of human rights committed in this country, in the dprk. however, we would also make clear we believe that the inclusion of this item in the agenda is an exception. argentina reaff

it didn't even come to the commission sector to the commission. a couple of you got the notice. people who got the eir and eir notice or who attended the hearing or saw it online have no idea what the planning commission, that the planning commission was over ruled by staff. the new deadline is december 17th, which is really going to be difficult because we had an election. it's a 700 page eir, equivalent to a rezoning as well as a project approval. it's carving out an area that isn't in the central soma plan. it's carving out an area that isn't in the downtown, that isn't in the areas that it's going to be rezoned on market street. so, we have become so cavalier that it isn't even noticed to the general public. i don't think that's legal in this city city attorney. i think people have the right to comment period to which that the commission set at the last hearing, not which a couple were informed by an e-mail from the department that have been truncated by the approximate weeks. there is no respect for election no respect for really complicated project and having a 700 page ei

we haven't taken that question back to our commission. i am hopeful as enernex presents their thoughts at this joint meeting we will feedback from the commission to do that work on. >> great. remind me again when the next commission meetings are. we just had the december meeting but what about in the new year. >> the second and fourth tuesdays of every month. >> okay great. >> okay. >> and i think that concludes my questions and i want to thank staff -- or thank the commissioners for bearing with me as i ask a lot. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner mar. >> i wanted to thank commissioner crews for reviewing the puc commission's meeting because that helps us to understand that it's staff lack of clarity on enernex, some of the data, and i agree with my colleagues, others that have said there is so much urgency with the climate crisis in front of us to move cleanpowersf forward and if we're only talking about redefining the construction jobs or something that seems tiny to the broader overall picture of what we're trying to accomplish an

and we decided as a commission that because both the president and vice president of the commission were not here that it would be better to wait until they come back so we will be doing that at the january meeting and that there will be a closed session and that we will do my performance appraisal and in an advertisetation we are going to be serving the senior so you can get the sense of my performance and not just my self-apraysal or your experience of me, it is a first for us, as a department to do that and so we are going to pilot it, and our intention is to do a much broader, what we called climate survey and i don't mean that like the climate change but the culture survey of the department to all staff and we are working on that now, and it is going to take some care to make sure that the questions make sense and that it is going to take the appropriate type of implementation and introduction and so the staff understand what it is they are seeing, because it is never been done for the department. so that, and you will see, just the senior staff information and then next year's perf
