dr. kerr. >> dr. derek kerr, a whistleblower. i agree with mr. hartz. public input is not a mere addendum to government proceedings. mrs. calvillo's sponse did divisive and marginalizing the very few who take the time to share their views in writing. the message is that we are unworth, inferior. she worries about troubling researchers who have to quote, cul through various 150-word statements, unquote. first, 150-word statements are too rare to need any kind of culling. second, she wrongly assumes that researchers are not interested in the public sentiments expressed in the written comments. she insists she cannot vouch for the accuracy of written comments. she doesn't have to. they're called public comments. though unofficial they're officially considered a core part of open government meetings. she threats that she cannot attest to the content and relevance of these comments. more important, is that the written comments typically protest or challenge the content and relevance of government actions. that's why they deserve placement within the agenda i

. >> thank you dr. kerr. any other public comment? if not, call the next item. >> item seven, opportunity for committee members to comment or take action on any matters within the jurisdiction. pad am co-chair these are items fiscal year 2017/18 work initiatives, items a-g. >> i can give background on those. so brenda and i met with peg to go over some of the great ideas that have come up over the past few meetings for ways to get information out to our voters. so we finally decided to write them down in one place and peg has agreed to give us updates on all of them at every meeting so we can understand the progress of these good ideas. probably better to do it from here. so peg stevenson from the controller's office. i'll make brief comments on each items and answer any questions you might have. the benchmarking work is well underway. we have chosen jurisdictions, a couple of them here in the city of san francisco, a couple other cities have similar functionality. we have basic information and doing interviews, we expect to issue a r

dr. derek kerr, and one by myself. i would challenge any member of this commission to provide any evidence that the responsibility for record keeping minutes has been in some way compromised. for approximately five years, from 2011 to 2016, this body relegated my statements to the status of an addendum. then, in 2016, the summaries began to appear as they are now, quote, in the minutes, unquote. so the sunshine ordinance states, so the task force has for years both rule and direct it be done, and the wheels of government have yet to grind to a halt. i find it truly hypocritical that the only person who expressed any basis for exempting the board of supervisors from this requirement was commissioner kopp who was appointed by the board of supervisors. what was particularly interesting is he happened to pick out several examples which the clerk of the board put into her letter which were dishonest. she said the task force had given conflicting advice. now, there were several cases she mentioned where there was no violatio

but the lead of the document is the fear the fbi has that stokely kerr, michael, and black nationalist have teamed up with drng in the first right christian book and -- they quote mr. king saying apparently this with this document jail's going to be the only place this spring because there's so much violence in america. there's this fear that this summer may be a very very violent one. and their following king around in this document right up till march. i mean there's stories about sex parties in miami in 1968, some of this was almost x-rated stuff in these 23 pages of smearing of dr. king. >> when i first heard about this there was a concern something like this could harm dr. king's legacy. but when you start to look at it, it really just reflects -- seems to reflect terribly on j edgar hoover and the fbi at the time. >> well, i think again if this has been released in 1968 the fir thing anybody would have done would have been to question the source. these are anonymous informants who are spreading dirt about martin luther king. obviously some of them are black informants who probably disagreed with king's

kerr man. >> no, chairman, i do not believe it's sufficient. >> may i just say, again, dr. esper, for again, d dr. esper, for over two years, army leaders have asserted readiness as priority number one. do you believe that the army is at a level of readiness to conduct combined arms maneuver warfare against a peer competitor? >> not least of which, most possible, is to engage a near gear competitor in a high-end fight. i think with only one-third of the brigade combat teams and 25% of the combat aviation brigades ready, engaging in such a conflict would be conducted at significant risk. >> thank you. mr. cernan, almost every day we hear of another issue concerning cyber -- either revolution -- revelations of old attacks, an increase in the knowledge that we have concerning what russians did to try to affect the outcome of our elections. and as far as we can tell, for the last eight years, there has not been a strategy in cyber, which then would be translated to policy, which would then be translated to action. now, we've got provisions in the defense authorization bill, and
