i am grateful to be seated next to david cohen and david mills. along with executive branch -- executive branch agencies work to address continued threats from the iranian regime. the world today is unified to an unprecedented degree in its concern that a nuclear armed iran would undermine the stability of the gulf region, the middle east, and the global economy. in defiance of the u.n. security council and the i.e.a. board of governor's resolution, iran has continued to expand its sensitive nuclear activities and refuses to cooperate with the iaea and raises concerns about their nuclear program. and iran supports hezbollah, hamas, and palestinian islamic jihad as well as militia groups. american policy in iran remains unambiguous. first and foremost we must prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. its nuclear activity is one of the greatest global concerns we face. we will continue to place the pressure. until iran addresses this seriously, we will continue with resolve and concern. since the passage of -- fassad as special rule has worked ex

let's dig deeper with david cohen. the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence. thanks very much for coming in. do you believe the grand ayatollah of iran knew about this plot? >> well, wolf, as jay kearney said earlier today, what we know is that this is a plot that was undertaken by the quds force, by senior quds force officials and in the designations that the treasury department announced yesterday, we also made clear that the head of the quds force is responsible for what the quds force undertakes. beyond that, wolf, i really don't have any other comment on who else in iran may have known about it and been responsible. >> so, you can't say whether ahminedjad, the president, knew about this because in your treasury department announcement yesterday, you included elements of the quds force, but none of the political leaders of iran. >> right. the designation we did yesterday described the role of the quds force, which is an important element of the islamic revolutionary guard core, which is sort of the premier military operation inside iran. the quds force res

it was run by david cohen, the director of their intelligence program. he was a former cia operative, he created a cia in the middle of the new york city police department. it they are looking at the legal activity and terrorism and these kinds of crimes, that is one thing. this was different, they were sending people to look at legal protest groups, in some cases arts groups in the theater groups. >>henry: i am sure that this has ended by now. >> absolutely not. it was just revealed that this same year it was doing surveillance on muslim americans simply because there were muslim americans. this came out in the press over the past few weeks. >>henry: the no how widespread this is? >> this is a new era of policing.-new york city police department has gone beyond what any other municipal police department has done. i think we are looking at the tip of the iceberg. in the post 9/11 decade, they have a certain license to proceed this way because people perceive it as protecting us against terrorism. there could be some truth to that. there's also a great da

about one year and a half ago, supervisor david chiu and malia cohen, along with former supervisor sophie maxwell, and the police department, commissioners, including commissioner joe marsh, we met with various members of the community. particularly, district 11 and district 10, talking about violence on our sambar . the community, including a number of resident groups, had appealed to us to come up with some better ideas on how to keep the community safe. being the public safety was the number one concern among everyone, particularly during the very tense situation that occurred a year and a half ago, and as we deliberated within the city administrator's office, we concluded community policing had to take an additional improvement, if you will, by embracing what the community wanted to see. particularly on the muni lines, in areas where there might be isolation that occurred in those areas, subject to activities that would end up being -- resulting in violence. after several months of meeting with this idea, we met with members of the community that said, if you hired from our area and i

secretary david cohen, tellus who was doing business with i ran?round do world. to the european union. spain is a major purchaser. turkey. >> japan? >> japan. >> who are the largest? >> i do not know where my cheat sheet is. japan, china, -- they are large purchasers. none of them are solely dependent on iran. that all purchase oil from a variety of producers. but it is between seven and 15% of their oil, give or take from iran in a given year. >> of the chinese investing in exploration directly or indirectly? >> i will give you an answer but i think secretary sherman also has an answer on that. the basic dynamics that we see in china is that before the most recent round of sanctions, including the security council resolution in 1929, china was involved in exploration in the oilfields of iran. we have made it very clear that we expect restraint, not just the united states, but the international community as a whole. the response has been that china has exercised restraint. that has been the basic dynamic. >> we share your concern, senator. presiden

david campos. supervisor cohen will be joining us shortly. thank you to sfgtv for their ongoing excellence. don and mark are covering this. please read the first item. >> item number one, ordinance amending the administrative code by adding section 2a.83 to community policing policy. supervisor mirkarimi: on the community policing initiative, supervisor campos, we very much appreciate, and i very much appreciate the collaboration we have had on this. supervisor campos: thank you very much, supervisor mirkarimi, mr. chair. i want to begin by thanking chief suhr for being here. i know it has been a busy day for him. i appreciate him taking the time to be here to discuss a very important issue. i also want to take the opportunity to thank my staff, specifically hillary for all the work that has gone into this, but most importantly to thank so many members of the community who have really been the catalyst for this effort. let me provide some context of what we introduced this legislation. i serve on the san francisco police commission for a number of years. by the way, i see that the assistant

let's listen to david cohen, the treasury under secretary, who deals with terrorism and these issues. >> iran's shrinking access to frad finance has made it difficult for iran to pay for i imports and receive payment for exr ports. iran's central bank has been unable to halt the steady erosion in the value of its currency. and iran has been increasingly unable to attract foreign investments. especially in its oil fields. leading to a projected loss of $14 billion a year in oil revenues through 2016. >> so next targets could be the central bank of iran. there are number of senators up on capitol hill who would like to do that. they want to have tripling sanctions to really cut them off and in some cases, they say collapse the iranian currency. the next step is oil. oil is 50 to 75% of the income iran gets and if you target that, pushing other countries to simply do not deal with iran. what specifically they'll do, wolf, they are still planning that you can expect there would be more and wendy sherman, the new under secretary of state was saying nothing should be off the table. >> jill,

. >> and so the head of comcast will be in, david cohen, runs comcast's lobbying, raised half a million dollars billion this and he keeps saying disclosure and everything else, but how do you have somebody who is a running lobbying shop and the reason have a million dollars -- how does that square with the van? >> again, the president standards are unequaled in this regard. the practice has been unprecedented in this regard. the transparency, the disclosure, unequaled, again, by any other candidate. we're very confident that his record on this is exemplary. let me go -- yes, sir. >> thank you, jay. how is the national security adviser, donilon visit to china and india and what did he discuss with chinese leaders? >> again, i'll have to take that question to the i haven't had a chance to discuss that with him or his deputy. laura? >> i just want to look on eric's first question to make sure understand what use it in terms of the part of the bill daily interview when he said there's both republicans and democrats who have been problematic, the democrats he's referring to were from the cri

i applaud david cohen for designating at least five individuals as sponsors of terror who were part ofhe iranian revolutionary guard's kuhd's force, with the attorney general of the united states directly blaming the government of iran for this bomb plot against antarctics in the capital city of the united states. it's clear with over whelming bipartisan support, 92 senators, to collapse the central bank of iran, that would be an effective way to address what is clearly an uttererly irresponsible and largely out-of-control irgc and mois who are seeking to attack american targets. with that, i yield back. mr. durbin: mada mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority whip is recognized. mr. durbin: let me commend my colleague from illinois for speaking out about this iranian plot -- state-sponsored iranian plot to destroy the coted di sad israeli embassies here in washington, d.c. this is an outrage, that they would reach this far this obviously into the united states. we know that they have backed terrorism forever, as my colleague said, recognized by our government as a state spo

you just came out of the private sector three weeks ago, so i'll mainly direct my comments to david cohen, who has been in this much longer. i think it's verlander and important that here at this hearing we not hear your concerns, we hear your consequences for what has happened, and i think it's verlander and important for us not to look at this from washington's view looking at tehran in which one of your staffers gives long reports about how we have cut off cupcake sales from belgium to iran, and it's important to look at what is happening in tehran and whether this is having an effect. maybe if you put up the other chart you have there. this is iranian enrichment activities, and you can see here that the program is accelerating fairly impressively. and so while we have long briefings of a lot of banking activity, we see the principle objective of the policy is not yielding results, and as i think senator corker has been verlander and eloquent on, once we get over 20% enrichment, i would be worried if you felt that there was any doubt that the iranians would transfer nuclear weapons to

as counterinsurgency expert david cohen points out, rather than reducing the number of terrorists, the u.s. presence in afghanistan could actually be spreading new terrorism as locals ban together to resist foreign occupation. it's called accidental guerrilla syndrome. further, a report issued last year by the gentleman from massachusetts, representative tierney, revealed the u.s. military is funding the multibillion dollar protection racket. a good portion of the $2.16 billion transportation contract is being paid to corrupt public officials, warlords and the taliban to get needed splice to our troops. . -- supplies we are funding the very insurgency we are fighting. we went into afghanistan to make america safer, but for several years now we have known that our enemies are no longer concentrated in afghanistan. al qaeda is an enemy without borders and so now we must have a strategy without borders. the question now is, will we adjust our strategy to reflect today's circumstances? or will we continue to live in the past repeating this destructive cycle of sending dollars and troops to

my colleague david cohen is going to testify. >> you got a letter from 92 senators saying the collapseof the central bank in the rain and iran and u.s.-backed basically saying call you back. which -- >> i think stay tuned. [laughter] >> correct. that is music to my good if i just want to lay down the marker for next week, if you could work with david. i want to focus on the subject du jour today which is zero contagion. according to the crs, our exposure degrees, 1.1.5 billion in direct loans to the government, 7.3 but in direct loans to the economy, 34 billion other exposures. about $42 billion in exposure by u.s. banks to greece. the crs memo highlights italy about $36 billion in direct loans from u.s. banks, $230 billion in direct, or in other exposure, about $256 billion total to an italian problem for u.s. banks. if you add up exposure in greece, ireland, italy, portugal and spain with other exposures, it's a $641 billion problem. and yesterday we saw this with problems at morgan stanley. can you talk about the morgan stanley problem, whether we are seeing a potential lehman broth

cohen is the mediator. he'll receive negotiations between the nba and the player's association. last week davidtern canceled the first two weeks of the regular season saying the owners and players were too far apart to reach an agreement. the cost of college going up around the country. they will nid to figure out how much to save to go to school. it requires students and parents to pass along tax earnings and bank statements. also your grades and s.a.t. scores and gives an estimate for that school. >> now they can sit down and well, let's see. and it's an estimate. the information is only as good as they put in as what comes out. so they have to be careful about what they put in. >> school officials say the calculator will give the families a good first step for paying for college. >> thank you very much. working hard to pay for the tuition of triplets. my goodness. top stories this morning. you mentioned in the top of your newscast. the fatal shooting of a san jose man overnight. today the police plan to hold a news conference to try to address the men in question. also the mr. magoo bandit h
