george wilson replaced our silver, and that is why i'm standing in front of you this morning. he replaced the store in 2006 without a backwater of all, only to install it with an additional cost after the system goes the first failure. we learned in 2010 that a bath water valve should have been installed at the time of replacement. this information along with puc responsibility beyond the curve was addressed in a survey inspection. this inspection was done on 4/26/2010, by the inspector of plumbing for the city of san francisco. my count here today is brief in comparison to the many months of disrupted the construction and reconstruction of our sewer. the years of 2006 through 2008, being in the dark as to the degree of fraud that had taken place. we had a sewer that was somehow done without the proper degree of oversight. we believe that not only was the permit for the bath water valve not obtained but the entire system had not been installed and submitted. has been a long, arduous, and circuitous route, and yet, we are still without a solution. we had a onetime hired a lawye

woodrow wilson, george w. bush and now president obama. as well that they did all of this on the back side of the palace, something we don't normally see. so you get all 40 acres here. there's a lake that the queen has at her disposal. there is also, we're told, a tennis court just beyond the lake, just beyond those trees. there is also a helicopter landing pad. you hear the one hovering above. the beginning of the state visit, with all of the porch cirque was really a remarkable day, no doubt. you can see some of these dramatic pictures. there was an honor guard, pipes and drums. the first lady and the president greeted by the queen and prince phillip. prince charles, kamila. in private, what we didn't see for the tv cameras was the president and first lady got to meet william and kate just back from their honeymoon now known as the duke and duchess of cambridge. there was a 41-gun salute and then a 62-gun salute at the tower of london. and it just went on and on and on. you can see the media gathered here even before they arrived. there'

now, there have been -- woodrow wilson had a state visit, kennedy -- president kennedy, and george w.rican presidents have come here but in a private capacity. most famously ronald reagan who was hosted at windsor castle. it's just an invite from the queen. doesn't constitute a state visit. >> a lot of other protocol that goes along with it. give an idea, what will it be like in buckingham palace, where is he staying? >> yes. it's notoriously cold in buckingham palace. >> they can afford some heaters there, come on. >> everybody who stays there says the same thing. you're always told to bring an extra jumper. he's staying in the belgian suite, a number of rooms which constitute the belgian suite. it was named the belgian suite after king leopold. the trip's all-inclusive so meals and drinks are included. a minor banquet. there's always this problem, going back to 1776 a little bit here, but always this problem, do you bow, do you accept the protocol other european heads of state will accept? nancy reagan said she would not under any circumstances -- >> do you think the obamas will? >>

wilson center. >> thank you, lawrence. >> give us a sense of where we stand now in the terror threat postures of the country? we heard george in that tape talk about having reached a point where he seemed to think that osama bin laden was just a marginal character. not even worth spending much -- any presidential time thinking about or trying to go after. we see president obama actually get osama bin laden and the country reacts in a huge way. is the intelligence community in the bush view of this that it really isn't a big deal, or did something important happen? >> well, i find that statement of george bush that you played surprising. i don't remember the statement. by the way his statement issued last night or this morning about the call from president obama was gracious. and i think right on. and hopefully this will be a reset moment for our country and we can focus on unity as we came together after 9/11. but back to this, i was the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee for four years right after 9/11. then i became the chairman of the terrorism and risk assessment subcommittee of the homeland security c
