that will be the administration process for the physical changes to a property that accounts for handicaps or changes i know i read in the report that this building included an elevator and so my question to the project sponsor is is this elevator for accounting for a particular handicap or particular issue and to the zoning administrator if this legislation passed we'll be looking at something different. >> ascertainment was a big deal for the project my mother can't actually come into this 0 house as it stands she can't walk up one flight of stairs meier my parents a parents are european it's important to take care of them in their twilight this is important and the elevator addresses that issue. >> to the zoning administrator you're familiar with the legislation. >> are you refer to the accomodation legislation. >> yes. >> part of that legislation will do is that relative to this case is help provide for administration surveillance and modifications for people with disabilities so without looking at specifically at the details this is the type of project that could potentially take adva

the next real handicap is science is universal. we don't own the physical theory behind atomic weapons. this is something that was understood worldwide. this is something developed in germany and in europe. it was something that was understood by scientists from japan, germany and russia and the united states and all over the place. it wasn't something we could keep secret. it wasn't something we could hide. it was an understood idea. the next major handicap is compartmentalization. that one side didn't know what the other side was doing. f.b.i. didn't know what the manhattan project were doing and the vice versa except for the highest level. f.b.i. agents trying to hunt down spies could have worked well with the counterintelligence guys but they weren't talking to each other. scientific intelligence is hard. this is something that is incredibly difficult. most f.b.i. agents don't have a scientist background. to tell them to protect scientific secrets, some more important than other, they may not know what they should be looking fo
