you find out it happens, everyone's trying to leave haiti, you get on a plane to go to haiti. you were handling dead bodies? >> we're dealing with a little kid here, we don't know if they're eight or nine years old, you know what i mean? this is the reality of what we're dealing with now. >> what does that mean. i went gunderground for a built picking up bodies, bringing them to moorings, digging holes, burying certain people. things like that. >> how did it feel? being in that state, you being a country man, being involved in that. what went through your mind? >> the way to explain it, you don't prepare for things like that, right? it just happens. everything you used to sing about, talk about, you believe about, it gets tested at that moment. because it's like, you know, you wore that flag on your back at the grammy's, you know, with the fugees and that's the first time they saw a haitian flag on the tv. what does that mean, though, if you can't be on the ground right now picking up your own brothers and sisters, you see? >> one of the ways you also helped your country was b

just to see the extent of devastation, haiti being the poorest country of the world. just to see the bodies that were still there on the streets in apartment buildings and the sheer magnitude of ache in the people's hearts as they deal with the catastrophe. >> george, we talk about haiti being one of the poorest nations, natural disasters seem to be an equalizer, even in the wealthiest places in japan, they are in the same situation. >> absolutely, efrem graham request attest to this as well. there is no respecter of person whether you are poor, rich, black, white, when an earthquake hits you and in some cases a tsunami hits you, you can do all the preparations possible. at the end of the day it affects everybody. >> efrem, you have been to haiti to check on the progress, how are they doing? >> many are in the same situation like they were 15 months ago. an outbreak of chaos inside a stadium, some 2600 people are living, tg reason is because they would like to get them out of the stadium so they can prepare for soccer, they can't do that, the disaster, very difficult.

i saw that in haiti. i was there eight days ago, and i saw in haiti there were projects that have been funded by the u.n. and the e.u. and they haven't been properly exploited and i think that's a shame. now there was a mention of conditionality earlier on and i think this is absolutely indispensable. you yourself said earlier on, yes, water is good but waste management, sewage management is very important too and that goes on to agriculture and so. i'll come back to that because we don't have the time. on behalf of all of my colleagues i would like to thank you for this very useful and very important exchange of views but i would above all like to thank you for the work that you do. this is a great honor to have you here. thank you very much, mr. gates.

in short it is a new day for haiti. we are very thankful for the financial institution, which raised money that was unfortunately never spent in the first place and the lack of infrastructure and service is evident of this. given this daunting task, john starting the economy is a priority. by doing so, we will create jobs and stir up economic activity which leads to sustainable development. in order to accomplish these reforms and create economic stimulus necessary to offer opportunities to the haitian people, the country needs to have access to loans. no country can build an infrastructure, on grants alone. we were very pleased by the fact that the financial institutions are open and flexible to new ideas and the interest of the people pt. we are going to pursue them. they do not want handouts or opportunities to create wealth. we also have at the state department provided me an opportunity to review with secretary hillary clinton and her senior staff the state between haiti and the united states. we called for assista

trade preferences for exports of apparel from haiti. we also want to acknowledge the successful response by the haitian ministry of health and population and the international community to curtail the cholera epidemic. now, these are successes that deserve to be celebrated, but we also know that there is a lot that lies ahead for the new president, for the government, and the people of haiti. still, there's a lot of rubble to be cleared. there are still 650,000 people living in camps. the hurricane season is once again approaching. we want to do everything we can do be a good partner for haiti as it takes steps that it must take, making it easier, for example, to transfer ownership of state-owned land for affordable housing, to streamline the process for registering new businesses, getting construction permits approved, attracting investment and encouraging growth. we also know that the prisons in haiti are overcrowded. 80% of those detained have net to face trial, updating criminal codes, processing the backlog of demands, and implemen

you have employees of nonprofits and sometimes there is too much emphasis on someone going to haiti, they have to be paid to deliver the food, et cetera. but before you could have transparency and reduction in overhead you have to have competition. that's what we are focused on. the organizations that do the best on causes are those telling the stories. you can really show people the effect of the work. >> we'll have to stop there. that will be the time we have.ri >>> just a minute left. >> is there a change in trends in donations? >> we're seeing younger people donate and smaller donations happening. you always have disaster-based giving. that's always been the case. but we're trying to solve the more sustainable giving around the year in reactionary giving and people investing and having enduring impact. >> joe green, i appreciate you being here. my thanks to joe and stanley chang. thank you to in this canicky bo helping us with video as well this morning. thank you for making us part of your sunday morning.

do you say to people who do believe and you're telling them, fail up, to someone in the gulf or in haitior in japan? tavis: that's a great question. i think what we lose sight of in life is that things can always be worse, as difficult as things are, things could always be worse, as long as you're alive, there is hope. as long as you're alive and you get a chance to wake up the next day and do it better, to get it right, try again, things can always be worse so whether you're talking about japan or haiti, there's always a worse situation so you have to be thankful for the days you do have and make the most of them. >> isn't it easy to sit here and say that? tavis: i wouldn't say it's easy to sit here and say that because i've had days when i didn't think there would be another day. >> you've had a personal haiti? tavis: i've had a couple of them in my life. i talk about hurricane katrina and there are hurricane katrinas that happen in our individual lives every day, tsunamis come into our lives every day. there are moments you don't think you'll make it to the next day. you've had heart

the national level represents 80,000 members which has been called in haiti for more than a year. they have been involved with japan. i want to reiterate what you all know that after the '89 earthquake, we did a remarkable job in recovery. this is a model that cities look to in terms of transformation. i cannot say strongly enough that planners and architects are important in this dialogue. i would urge the commission and the department in this effort to ensure that san francisco is as ready as possible. watching what has happened to japan, specifically the earthquake and the tsunami and the issues with the nuclear plant are unbelievable. this is a high seismic zone. this is driven by codes but also a long-range planning issue for the city. this will happen in our lifetime. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello, commissioners. i am here to introduce myself in the context of work i'm doing on the community outreach front on behalf of chase bank here with my colleague. i wanted to put a face to those activities that have taken place for the project you have heard a little bit about. whi

you've been all over the world to africa, asia, haiti and most recently to japan.nd you have said that so many of these earth-shattering events that we're experiencing over the last few years whether it's natural disasters, wars or whatever is almost like the labor pains for the second coming. >> well, jesus said these events would come with more frequency and would increase in intensity just like labor pains so that's what the bible says. >> so describe what sort of era we are biblically in terms of a second coming, in terms of a change? >> i believe there's no question, i believe we're in the latter days of this age. when i say latter days, could it be the last 100 years or the last 1,000 years or the last 6 months, i don't know but the bible, the things that the bible predicts, earthquakes and famines, nation rising against nation, we see this happening with more frequency and more intensity, but there's other things, when the anti-christ comes, we talk about the number of the anti-christ that he will have an economic mark that will be either on your forehead or

my parents came from haiti and they identified with the democratic party because they were told that'sworking-class people do. what's sort of converted me, if you will, after i began working in the inner city as a school counselor and witnessed how a lot of democratic policies purported to help black people to their detriment, that's when i sort of reevaluated my allegiance. >> arm strong, you identify as a conservative but don't identify as a republican. what's the process to make you a black conservative but not a republican? >> there's an inherent problem even in the question you ask. you give the impression the democratic party has since its inception has had all the answers for black people. if that were the case black people would not still be complaining about the problems they complained about 30 years ago, 20 years ago and today. no party has a monopoly on what is best no matter who is in power at the white house black people should be at the table. you should want to be a participant. i'm a republican because my parents are a republican. >> you are ap aren. >> >> third genera

preventing the flow of refugees in stabilizing haiti. bringing democracy and security to every coast. the list goes on. these are things that we have authorized and supported because they serve our national security interests because we have taken the decision that to do nothing would be intolerable and dangerous, and to do something with other sharing the cost in the burden of the military operation is much more sensible than us contemplating doing it alone. this is why it is in our interest beyond that. when we are not fulfilling our obligations, our influence, our leverage, the value of our diplomacy is substantially undermined. i recall in the 1990's how that was, and i can tell you the cooperation we have managed to achieve to impose tough sanctions on iran and north korea to authorize strong action in libya and ivory coast and other things would not be possible if we were again in a situation of debt. >> let me use my remaining time to throw out one proposition. one thing that unifies this committee and i am happy about it, is the

i don't know if we still have people in haiti, but i would not be surprised if we still do. any major tragedy that comes around the world, we expect the military to jump in and ride to the rescue. it all cost money. maybe we should just say we are not want to do that anymore. that is a way to save some money. >> that would be a big roles and missions change, wouldn't it? >> what is the role going to be? at some point, the president decides we have some people at risk in a country, set up a no- fly zone. that cost money. >> realistically, do you see a day when this is a nation where we would do that? >> we are to talk about it. we are going to cut back on defense and get a lean, mean, machine that would just protect the homeland, and if somebody comes after us, then we will respond, everybody should understand, decisions have consequences. i don't think you can have it both ways. i l little older than you guys, and i was a child during world war ii, and i remember the sacrifices that people made. i remember my mom giving me a dime so at school i could buy a stamp and put it i
