were injured, of those 11, there were nine or 10 among them, one kenyan who was married to susan hirsch -- i really believe the only reason we did not have many more deaths, was because of the way the building was constructed, like a bunker. the other was, the embassies were in different locations. we were in the middle of this big city with a lot of high-rise buildings and the shockwave went back-and-forth. for us it was spread out, it was not in the center, it was in the outskirts, no building was higher than three stories, so the bomb went that way instead of going back-and-forth between buildings. i think that save lives. we had the nigerian embassy next us, the french embassy next was, the russian ambassador's residence were all damaged. just from the proximity from the bomb. here, the tribune front page from august 10, 1998. i did not know i was on the cover until two weeks later when it showed up in the mail. it was mailed from paris. we did not have access to them on the internet. it has a description, and the only reason it says that is because i was under instructions not to c

, there were nine tanzania's, once a molly visa applicant and one kenyan who was married to susan hirsch , who was a fulbright fellow who was about to move back to the united states with her kenyan husband. and, i really believe that the only reason we didn't have many more deaths, two reasons i would say, one was the way that building was constructed. very much like a bunker as the fbi described. the other thing was that embassies were in different locations. you were in the middle of this big city with a lot of high- rise buildings. and the shockwave went back and forth, and as you said the friendly house collapsed. for us, it was spread out, it was not directly in the center but it of dar es salaam it was more on the outskirts of the city , the building was about three stories tall and so the bomb went that way instead of having the bomb go back and forth. and i think that save lives but i must say we had the nigerian indus embassy next to us, the french embassy next to us, and that is really residence, all of that would be damaged in close proximity to the bomb. we also have here ove

i know commissioner hirsch and commissioner lazarus have been working on a discipline matrix for the department side. is that also something that will be used by your office, or do you have current standards for discipline that you use to determine what level of discipline to request? >> we are participating in the discipline matrix extensively and we have been working on that for months. it is getting closer to conclusion now. and then we also train and discuss ranges of discipline internally as well in the office to try and make sure that they are consistent, because they have not been in the past. that is part of why we were eager to get to the table to address a sentencing mages -- matrix in the first place. >> thank you. >> i just want to follow up on page 5 because it is unclear to me. assess 44% of the office -- i'm not sure -- >> page 4. >> i don't understand what that means. the chief disagreed with you that they weren't disciplined? >> not necessarily. it just depends on the participation. it could mean that under admonishment and retrain. let's say what the discipline is d

. >> commissioner hirsch: can you indicate the reason for the spike. it's important for the public to be reminded why that curse. >> i think the primary reason of the outrage being done by the agency. the agency now is in places in a variety of communities across the city and we have partnered with a lot of the community advocates including with the board of supervisors and city hall and mayor's office and local communities to appear at broader events. i think it's not due in small part from the material that we're able to produce now and share with audiences about what dpa is and how we operate and how people learn about us. i think that's the biggest reason. other two reasons are the improvement of the language access line so that people can contact and work with our agency, speak languages other than english. we had a system so that people can call, drop by or contact us online now to make -- to get our attention and coordinate with us. the final reason i think that we have had this spike is the improvement in the fix with technology which just -- i

back in '75 were the church committee hearings where this was the first time, the year before cy hirsch and "new york times" broke the stories about drug experiments and assassination plots and there were the sensational televised hearings in 1975. actually, the first televised hearings at that point since watergate. and there was just this revulsion on a bipartisan basis in congress about not only these activities cia had done over the previous two decades but the fact that no one outside the cia and the few select people in the white house, including the president, knew about it. so, there was a consensus, really, that something had to change, there had to be some sort of oversight, so that's how it was born. >> mark, do you want to add to that? >> they exist because they're needed, and i think john accurately sets forth the history that led to it. the u.s. government typically, as i always explain to folks, is far more reactive than proactive. it doesn't do a very good job of anticipating something to happen, especially in the intelligence community, and usually then reacts to someth
