do a little bit of what dpa does now. york, norway new was on the security council in 2001, 2002 when i met bruce. we quickly figured out that the u. n. -- and those were activist years. the cold war had come down. belief in the ability of the u. n. in a way, it was a feeling that it was a norwegian -- we never had the pentagon. [laughter] welcome to our world. [laughter] willoom i walk in, nobody connect me with a pentagon. was a natural extension of our way of ending. you come to realize even if you try to do some good in the world by being active in solving violent conflicts or delete make an effort -- or at least make an effort for peace and reconciliation, unity to draw on the different pool of people and backgrounds. place.as the perfect , it really needed to be institutionalized. it really needed to be institutionalized. i spoke a lot in those days. dpa started to take form and shape. to save theng intellectual leadership is overrated. sometimes, you think that. it almost this. because i thought it was an uvious th

dpa started to take form and shape. i am not going to save the intellectual leadership is overrated. sometimes, you think that. it almost this. because i thought it was an obvious thing for the u. n. to take over. there's nothing that can taken over. it means resources. this is my sort of main point. it really need to resources. norwegians always come in and talk about money. no matter how shiny your message and how you should do this and you should do that, all of that is fine. it gets complicated if you are costly talking about other people's money. the fact that to get as many as possible to show not only you believe in the u. n. and show support with coming up with the resources not only money but personnel and support systems and structure. like jeff told us what you will see there are advantages of their. -- advantages there. they will play a number of roles. anything from keeper of the holy growth, any role you can think of. it is anyway important. sometimes it is the right thing to do. we will continue to suppor

s department of peace keeping operations have the lead in achings, but the dpa is heavily involveddedategic thinking as well about what is the u.n.'s role going forward? among other challenges, afghanistan's a good example of how, even the united nations with its universal membership, needs to be sensitive to concerns of nationalsoeverty. in march, they renewed the mandate of the u.n. assistance mission in afghanistan for additional year without any major changes. this signals a desire for continue newty in the mission's role like good offices on elections, reconciliation, and regional cooperation. many of our member states see a similar role for the u.n. beyond 2014; however, some of the actors in the current afghan government indicated skepticism regarding a continued political role for the u.n. arguing this role could interfere with afghan sovereignty. u.n. diplomacy requires finding compromise and consensus among different actors on different interests to allow the organizations to continue to assist afghans in the most effective way without being seen as compromising the nation's

that this is a big day for him and i want to thank him and his excellent team and the sfmta staff and dpa staff and the contractors and all of whom have been working hard to get us here today. and then i also want to acknowledge some of the political leadership, that is really been a part of bringing this project forward. the significant federal commitment to this project between the first and second phase is nearly half of the funding has come from the federal government recognizing the regional and national significance of this project and so of course our senators and their offices have been behind us all of the way and then a particular our leader the leader of the house of representatives nancy pelosi, has been one of the strongest supporters for this project and we are delighted to have the new chief of staff joining us if we could, give a round of applause for all of the officials fed and state that have been behind us. and we also have mike here and we are putting a lot of people to work with this project and it is not just a transit benefit that we get in 2019, when we turn on th
