on the positive about a commission, the 2018 commission on which you served, mr. chair and which you served, chairman yarmouth, we have launched a bipartisan look at budget bipartisan look at budget some of these passed out of the senate committee and didn't i'm interested in following up on the work you just did because i think there are some things there that we could turn into law and make permanently part of the process. i'm especially interested in hearing about 2018, it wasn't so much a debt commission per se but more about budget process. i think we have a real opportunity in this congress. we talked about this before, to make that law and have support from at least three voters from the prospective chairs. with that welcome and welcome back and i yield to the chair. and i yield to thea quick thank you ranking member i agree also we have to have the political courage to ask that mr. chairman: we have the responsibility to act. that responsibility is ours. i would hope they try to depoliticize that conversation because we have to have it. in the interesf tim

and the sf mta commission.both of which i tend to attend for purposes of discussing transportation for small wheeled mobility. and i note that these meetings tend to be much less attended in general by the public. and i wonder if that does have something to do with the time of day that it occurs. the mta commission meetings usually start at 1:00 pm and often go, well into the evening and are pretty well attended by members of the public. i agree with the previous caller that perhaps starting before 9 a.m. would offer some opportunity for people to attend, but just want to note that the issues that intersect with public works often intersect with things like those issues that i raised, but also those with things like houseless community. and there are various people who would otherwise show up to speak on these matters but are often at work and during these days issuing care to members of the public. and so i would like to see the possibility explored of doing this later in the day such that more people could co

these are because i am a member of the original 90 commission, and the original 90 commission does not have this legal preparation. that in commission please participate, friends of the cultural commission . we made it possible for these discussions to take place. well, a significant part of these issues was included in the law of the 7th plan and is being discussed in the discussions. the support that we should have from the quranic assemblies, because in any case, it is necessary that these supports take place in order for us to achieve the goals and visions that we have in the field of quranic issues, whether in the training of guardians or in the training of quranic trainers and the empowerment of people. to be able to provide in the quranic areas , we have foreseen this work, unfortunately, some of the issues, well, in any case, the friends of tarfiq could not conclude that this should be presented in the form of personal suggestions that we have brought a plan. we hope, god willing , that we will finalize these in sahnim and bring them to a stage of implementation . maarif has ha

in general, the scope of the commission's duties. construction is classified into three categories: housing and urban management, transportation and construction projects . in this commission, the issues related to the safety of the transport fleet, the way of pricing energy , the revision of the urban management structure, the re-creation and renovation of inefficient urban tissues and the support policies in the field of housing for the low-income strata are discussed and investigated. statistics show that in the past year, the civil engineering commission held 18 specialized meetings with the ministers of roads and shahrassi naft niro and the country has organized the start of urban roads in the supply issue the land has done a good job. we hope that with the decisions made in the supreme housing council , which usually has a meeting of the supreme housing council every month, with the presence of the honorable president, we can pass the julid housing law, which will allow one million homes to be built again. people, tell me what

so that's the beauty of commission of inquiry. they do investigate the produce reports, they make recommendations, which is what we have done. now in this particular commission has a very wide mandate, especially it's not time boned, it's almost permanent. and that's one of the reasons why some states, including the united states and europe, did not support the establishment of this commission. that it doesn't have an end date to which i have said, well, the occupation doesn't have an end date either, and you tend to support that occupation. and the other aspects of the mandate are that we have an investigative mandate. we can identify suspects, keep up and try to work with judicial institutions such as the international court of justice. and the, as i said already to make recommendations to look into the root causes of the conflict. that's very important in monday that has not been done before, above all, or we have a territorial jurisdiction that does not apply to any other commission. and that is we have jurisdiction over is in

between the two commissions, yes, no, there is no commission. they see it from our eyes. we say whatever we say, sir, legally, we can't do it, but we follow up, we write letters , we talk to the minister, we talk to the vice president of education. we do, but to remember these things, we need the education and research commission at their age. if he wants to come in and do this work, or about these drug issues , he has really been a full-time commission for 2 years now, i have drug problems, once you see a problem called milk, the whole country comes to me, hundreds of people a day, well these there are no issues that a country with so much greatness is really proud of the rule of the system and the power of the system in the world . let's manage the milk problem. one time we can't manage a certain drug. all the patients call us saying that this drug is not available. they are right . sometimes the drug is not linked to a patient. the link is enough. it is interesting when it is supposed to be presented to drug companies. it can't be done on time, it doesn't happen, there

or under police commission. rules of order during public comment. neither police or epa personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions by the public, but may provide a brief response. alternatively you may also submit public comment in either of the following ways email the secretary of the police commission at sfpd commission at icgov.org or written comments may be sent via us postal service to the public safety building, located at 1245 third street, san francisco, california. 94158. if you would like to make public comment, please approach the podium. good evening, everybody. i uh, something a reminder. i think it's for everybody. it's like the there is no possible all good issue for from lies. it just doesn't work. so that's the problem. we have to, uh, face the truth at some point because it's going to come at us no matter what. so it might be very violent if we wait much longer. the other things i want to say, i really don't care if people don't like me. it's not the problem. and i think

no other country has a similar commission. usirf is an independent, bipartisan advisory body that monitors conditions abroad based on international standards. evaluates u.s. policy and makes independent policy recommendations to the president, secretary of state, and congress. usirf has nine commissioners. there are three appointed by the president of the united states, three are appointed by the leadership of the senate with each political party, and three are appointed by the leadership of the house from each political party. usirf has an amazing nonpartisa nonpartisan, young, dynamic professional staff of about 20. commissioners are private citizen volunteers. we come from different political parties, different faith and professional backgrounds, and different parts of our beloved united states. yet, we all agree on the importance of freedom of religion or belief for everyone everywhere. we also agree on the need to shine a light on the severe abuses so many individuals of all faiths, and of none, who suffer sin before exer

(discussion) >> this honor is mine to introduce this award. it is my pleasure to present the environmental service award to johanna wald. very few people stand out like johanna and i can say this from my working experience with her in the environmental commission that she had a long history of knowing it all from her work with american west, and her passion is evident from earlier times. she graduated from cornell university and yale law school and joined the natural defense counsel and served for more than 40 years as an attorney and land director and worked on safeguarding species and the next generation. when she retired in 2015, she did so as one of the leading experts on federal land and natural resources management and strong advocate for america's wildl

but i went from you know the commission on the redevelopment agency commission to the fire commission. and -- i was trying to leave the redevelopment agency at the time, i wanted go become to school i was running a nonprofit. i was at the university of san francisco. and i wanted it focus. because that was important it me. the mayor at the time. newsome said. do the fire commission it is less reading. i said, yes. because there was less reading but -- when i decided to serve on a commission i wanted to make sure this when i was makeing commitment, that i showed up. that my attendance was good and i was able to read all my materials and participate. because that is had i was there to do and when i was in the situation when school was going to require a lot of reading and write iing knew i could not give it my all like before the fire commission did in the have as much read and more fun. here we are fast forward i'm responsible for the amazing commissions what was important it me was rep 7ation of san francisco. not diversity as far as ethnicity. but geographic. san franciscans part of

commissions. moreover, this commission's programs are duplicative of other federal economic development programs and better addressed by state and local levels. in fact the fy-18 budget justification identified the appalachian regional commission failed to show a strong link between grants and a positive impact on the communities they serve. worse, this year the commission's inspector general identified the massive increase in the commission's funding in recent years as a threat to its variability to verify grant proposals, measure performance and conduct appropriate oversight. we talked about the last one we needed the money for oversight, this one we have so much money they can't oversee it. this is your federal government at work here. the spike in funding threatens to worsen an already tenuous link between funding and success, simply must bring the funding level for the arc, the appalachian regional commission, down to ensure it has the capacity to ensure it meets its mission. with that, mr. c
