that house was actually the house is lifted up and the first floor inserted in. and so there is a lot of structural stuff to be considered. when we did it our work, we were essentially converting the house to a single family home and adding a second parking space and we took the back of the house out further to make a bigger kitchen that went the same distance as the houses on either side. and we wrote the architect and the licensed contractor and we submitted the plans to the city in march of 1992 and the construction did not begin until august. these people seemed to have gotten a permit in one day. i am just floored by that. and in the time that we were waiting for our permits, and before construction began, our plans were reviewed, and some changes were required by the city were made, and we also held hearings in our house for all of the neighbors, all 8 houses surrounding our house so that they could come and look at the drawings in our house, and not at the architect's house and see what we plan to do, and issue any comments. and they did and the comments w

president obama is scheduled to meet with house and senate leaders of the white house in what could be the first of or the president and the republican-controlled congress working together in the wake of the 2014 election. that optimism has been tempered in recent days as both sides have staked out what they are not willing to give. this morning on "washington review the will meeting and talk about the futures of the democratic and republican par.

the obama white house, bush white house, and clinton white house. and he was moscow bureau chief and recently wrote a book about bush and cheney, which everyone should read. and stephen collinson, who is a white house correspondent emeritus. he recently left us for cnn. but he covered the white house for afp for a number of years and also did a number of stints overseas, asia and europe. and so i'm delighted to have all of you. you're definitely among my favorite white house correspondence. and selfishly, i've decided to start the panel off by one of the things that i am most interested in as a white house correspondent. particularly given all of the access, limitations that our previous panel talked about. i'd like to know how these guys get their stories and like where do you get that information from and how does it all come together. so i've asked them to each talk about some of the -- the one big standout story they've done on the beat and just give us a little window into how they came about it. and so i'll start with margaret, if that's okay.

he ran down to the white house. and immediately at the northwest gate, he saw there were all these cabinet-level limos in the west driveway. he went in, started asking what was going on. went up to jodi's office and saw there was not only everybody in the lower press office and in the lower press office, but stacks of plates, he describes, with dried lasagna, indicating they had been there for hours. he started asking around. initially one of the lower press office persons lied and said, oh, it's something in bogota. he immediately figured out that that was not true. he said i have nothing for you on it. that was enough, of course, to alert the network, because we weren't cable. it was 1979. this would meanen interrupting prime-time programming. he knew his informal cutoff was 11:30, with the advent of the johnny carson show, the tonight show. it was in the middle of the hostage crisis, the iran hostage crisis. eventually, he bluffed his way with jodi. it's a classic for any journalist, saying he knew it had to be a

tuesday night, the white house announced the president invited congressional leaders to the white house friday for a chat. we shall see. candy crowley, cnn, washington. >> as we mentioned, we expect to hear from president obama this afternoon just before 3:00 eastern, the day after republicans took the majority in both houses of congress for the first time in his tenure. >> exit polls show that 59% of voters say they are angry or dissatisfied with the president. senior white house correspondent jim acosta joins us now. jim, yesterday was a very, very bad day for the white house. today is a very big day for the white house. this statement, these questions he will answer will be very key. what do you expect him to say? >> you know, it's going to be very telling about the next couple of years, john. one thing that i think we're going to hear from the president today is that this is the fourth quarter of his administration. that is something that we are hearing from white house officials last night, that he is eager to get to work, that he wants to put these midterms behind him. and they we

for the housing needs especially affordable housing now here on clemente corridor that is a great location almost 1/3rd of the existing lot is surface parking for cars not people policy 2.1 discourage the as subscribed it results in a net increase in 4 units the commission in their determination felt it sufficient, of course, the new units will be made available at you current market rate but so will be the existing units policy 4.1 develop new models to fiemdz with children our commission heard a grateful of lack of family housing in the city we have existing 1 and 2 bedrooms awe piece and those - number 2 the appellant does not meet the criteria for don't guess it must be considered but up to you how to weigh them and the commission felt in this case, the project meets 13 of 17 criteria and therefore they may be finding in their approval the net gain of 18 bedrooms and that the scale of the project is consistent with the neighborhood there would be no significant impact to either of the streets or muni and to replace those building would be consistent with the density of the surrounding

there and the house did not act on it.sident is pushing for action. that if the house passes the senate bill or they move forward on some piece of legislation, that the executive action that he's going to announce would be torn up and thrown aside. whether that happens is really a long shot. >> there is thinking, maybe call it cynical. but there is the thinking that the president is sort of daring republicans to take him on over this issue. that he wants the blowback to be so fierce that the republican brand is damaged or programs the democrat brand is enhanced for the 2016 white house campaign. what do you think about that? >> that is a thinking that is circulating a lot here in washington. and setting a tram for republicans. and you're going to have leadership making that case. that's exactly what is happening here. but for the leaders, speaker boehner and now mitch mcconnell, to be able to therd coots this issue is going to be pretty tough when it is this explosive, obviously, this emotional of an issue. >> i can't wait

lee if you can answer what is mo do to insure the access to our affordable housing program whether it's the inclusionary or non-inclusionary to make sure that the entire spectrum of the community knows about it and access it because my sense right now is that a lot of it is left to the developers to do the marketing and whether you know it's nonprofit developers or the for profit developers if you are part of a community that has the infrastructure in place whether it's nonprofits that are working to educate community workers or whatever the case where you're going to probably have better assess than many san franciscans that have housing unstable, etc. not part of the community that has the organizational infrastructure in place so for example, until recently as far as i'm aware that was nothing not enough happening in terms of educating the lgbt community about the possibility of how to make sure you get into waiting lists and anticipating the heirs is stable now you're going to have an income drop in 5 to 10 years or when you apply to ssi i was able to get into the let the record ref
