harman is a strong word, but does not attach the tax to your number of employees. it is a better structure, i believe. we do a lot of things to support businesses. muni improvements happening downtown, in the more distant parts of the city. supporting businesses. infrastructure we are putting in, sidewalks, lighting. all of this is important to businesses. lots of concentration on that in the downtown area. i see it as one of the big thing that we offer. we also have a pretty city. that attracts a lot of businesses. we have certain parts of the city that have really great thinking going on. you see california, as of state. our hospitals attract a lot of minds and attention. -- uc california, sf state. >> it looks like we are just about of time. thank you for being on your district supervisor. we have been talking to supervisor at a loss from district 11. join us next time when we will be back with one of our 11 mr. supervisors. -- we have been talking to supervisor john avalos from district 11. join us next time when we will be back with one of our >> just a few st

i see some at the back, but why don't i start right here with congresswoman harman. do we have a microphone here? yes, we do. why don't you come forward. >> is this on? >> it was. >> it was? is? i'm not sure. it's not on? why i can't learn to turn on the microphone in this place, i don't know. i think it's on now. yes? janet napolitano just made a comment about security and liberty, and i wholeheartedly agree. i don't think they're a zero-sum game, and i think we have to think about both at the same time. the wilson center will be having more conversations about that. but my question is about something that wasn't mentioned by this excellent panel, and that is the role of the private sector. cyber, for example, cyber threats have more -- they, of course, effect the dot.gov space, but the largest space in the country is the space everybody else in this audience uses and you, too, also, on the weekends, and that's all of our private carriers. and in order to do the job we have to do on cybersecurity, i know you agree, secretary napolitano, we have to build adequate con

and jane harman of course is the director of the woodrow wilson center and president and ceo as well. congress in february 28 to take this position. she was a congresswoman from california for nine terms, served in all major security committees, six years on armed services, eight years on intelligence, foreign homeland security during the long public career. she has been recognized as a national expert at the nexus of security and public policy issues and she received the defense department medal of distinguished service in 1998. jane harman is now serving on the board of directors for "newsweek" and "the daily beast" as well so there is a media connection there i want to mention. so with that i'm going to just go and take my position here on the stage and go right to questions. so just bear with me while i moved to my next spot here. you can hear me okay, right? i wanted to start out just basically, just ask each of our panelists the same question. how did you do find a job national security adviser and jane how did you see this from your perspective on the hill and what works and wh

question whether the iran situation is truly at a boiling point this year former congresswoman jane harman is president of the woodrow wilson center, and is congresswoman, nice to have you with us. >> thank you jenna. jenna: what is the advice here, where do we go next? >> well, i think the escalating rhetoric from iran is just proof that sanctions are waiting. the really good news story in the last several weeks is that the european union has collectively blocked oil imports and exports from europe to iran. it's a very big deal. it's also news worthy that today, president obama added a couple more banks. these are very central to the iranian economy to our sanctions list, and that congress on aby partisan basis, yes, it was bipartisan, passed very tough sanctions resolutions as part of the defense authorization bill which was signed into law. so all of this means that the noose is tightening around the iranian government, the goal of that is not to hurt the iranian people who are our friends, but it's to get that government to benefit its -- to ban its policy or its potential policy to de

my question is really for jane harman and that was, how much does -- jane, how much does this soaringof the deliberative process in congress impact our credibility for the administration in this country to negotiate all these aspects? >> i think everyone in this room can answer that question and the answer is a lot. it's obviously personally painful for me to watch this and paul because we were in it and i sadly think the paradigm has changed to blame the other guy for not solving the problem rather than work with the other guy to solve the problem and it has a huge blowback and the executive branch and i'm sure everyone who has served in executive branch would know that. judge webster is one of the vital young men on her committee but he served in government at a better time. these problems are exponentially harder and if the image people have a broadly might even default on their dead and they surely can take this seriously so this is for a longer conversation and i think i will now take medicine after trying to answer it. [laughter] but it is a big factor. >> and if i might, one of

really want to thank the aspen's institute and the committee and the committee cochaired by jane harmanit is part of our ever maturing process of homeland security to really think strategically about his role domestically in this world and how we serve the people of our country in the best possible way. i am also glad to be here with my friends, jim jones, and i think we will have a very interesting discussion about homeland security and its role in the international sphere. and let me if i might talk briefly to that, to kind of set the stage for our discussion. we have personnel now stationed in 75 countries around the world. we have the third-largest international footprint of any agency of the federal government. our work in the international set there is increasingly substantial. it is essential and innovative and it recognizes that in today's world, domestic security and international security are inextricably intertwined. a security decision made in one part of the globe can rapidly impact security half a world away. and that means that we have to look at our physical borders as o

i am jane harman, the not so new president and ceo, and as i like to say, ecp from the united states congress. i would like especially to acknowledge the present tough the chairman of the board of the wilson center, joe and his wife, and in a moment i will introduce many dear friends who are members of the aspen homeland security advisory group. unlike the lincoln memorial are the washington monument, the wilson center is a living memorial to our 28 president and provides and the essential link between the world of scholarship and policy-making. that is essentially the homeland security advisory group at the aspen institute, which i co-chair with my very good friend, former secretary of homeland security michael chertoff, seems to do. we are a bipartisan group with extensive expertise and strong opinions, no surprise to meet periodically to discuss homeland security and counterterrorism issues and make recommendations and policy numbers. many of the group are with us. i can't be sure that i have everyone sitting in front of me but i see many of you. let me just list you have the clic

the event of cents september 11, as a member of the house select committee on -- congresswoman jane harman and i shared a subcommittee on the intel committee that did a review of the facts leading up to the events of september 11. and we issued the first detailed report on the deficiencies within the intelligence community that led up to september 11. and we were very critical of the community in one respect particularly. and that was the lack of the sharing of information between our various agencies within the community. director mueller, you and i have had extensive conversations as you have been here longer than any of the rest of the members here about this issue, and i just want to say that over the past decade, the stovepipes that we leave it -- alluded to in that report have continued to fall. and i would have to say that today, without question, while we still have improvements to be made, that the sharing of information between all of our agencies is that a superior love all -- level. mr. olson, i had the privilege, as you know, visiting with your folks at -- recently, and it was

. >> hi, my name is jane harman, reporter for congressional quarterly. i wanted to ask you about the health care law, which a major issue for years they been policy. i understand you recently said you were going to put out the state exchanges until the court cases on whether the law is constitutional. i'm curious if you're thinking i'm not in the viewer can turn that the state will have problem catching up if the law is unconstitutional. secondly, if you plan to return any money for the hopeless implementation. >> on the first air took office, january 3rd, after mr. attorney general to join the federal lawsuit. i fundamentally believe the federal government should not have a role, does not clearly has a rule is defined by the constitution. and health care mandated on not only the state. i don't particularly care for state government mandating. i think those are decisions individual families and employers should be making, not dictated by the government itself. i particularly believe if you read the 10 commandments. i think we have a very convincing case.
