i hope it is more specific. and it would transfer the dialogue, transfer the debate to an american proposal which will be, i believe, evenhanded, reflecting the fundamental interests of both israel and palestine. and that is galvanizing debate already, and that's a good thing. so we have not seen such activism by any secretary of state since the days of jim baker. we have not seen an american peace plan, the united states for some years now has been elected to describe its own policies on issues like jerusalem borders, security and refugees. and that has, i think, weekend our influence, our ability to shape events in the interest of our national security, interests, and theirs as well. so it's a good thing. there will be no quick solution. this conflict is an ancient one. the whole for your project a settlement, expansion is deeply embedded. to remove it would be to transform the state of israel in many ways, but it's still possible, and we sense that possibility in talking to many israelis. palestinians are les

say this, you know and actually she is actually really excellent and she is very capable, but i am hope thating someone from planning is listening to this. and because, i think that this kind of illustrates i think part of the problem, and i do think that to the extent that the planning director is the signatory to this agreement and to the extent that planning is charged with the responsibility of oversight, and one thing that seems very clear to me, is that planning is not my humble opinion as engaged as it needs to be and the fact that the chief over seer for the city is not here for the remainder of the hearing. that is not a good thing, i think that it kind of illustrates the point and i would actually think that it is a disservice to cpmc and suter because you know, they, they can be doing everything that they are supposed to be doing. but if the city is not communicating and maintaining the community apprised of what is going on, i think that is problematic and i think that even though we have a monitoring process in place, i think that it is important to or for the city agency a

may and we will try to be as patient as possible to listen to it at that point or read it, and the hope is that, everything that we are supposed to be doing will be done. and from just the comments that were made, from the departments and so forth, i mean, i am a little bit skeptical whether it is going to be done or not, but i want to be patient with that. the rate of others seem to be communicating the attention to the details. i am not too sure of this happening. in regards to the cliper card piece, i believe that one of the nurseses came up and talked about that. i would be very supportive that we could extend it beyond the ten years, or as the alternative would be also to supportive if for instance, if they six months have gone by, and they have not had the opportunity to receive the 50 percent discount for six months, they should get it for free. so it benefits the people more directly today and not ten years from now. and the, and so i would recommend, i mean, or encourage that we continue the community also to continue monitoring what is going on. and for the departments to do m
