the main purpose was to provide housing for the door keepers of the senate and the house while freeing up space for the committee rooms but also to improve the pedestrian approach to the capitol from the mall. the massiveness of his six greek doric columns 32 feet high vibed with a slightly taller corinthian capped columns in the loggia dictated by thornton's original choice. the sandstone walls of the capit capitol's wings were already painted white but latrobe's watercolor depicted his in the stone's natural light brown color. he may have intended it to remain unpainted in order to visually separate the capitol's two distinctly different historical sources, roman and greek. instead of the open bal strayeds atop the house and senate wings, latrobe planned solid ones for his center building. he designed a monumental statue of athena as american liberty for its central stepped podium, a reference to the cult statue of athena in the part none. the greek athena wore a helmet, her left hand resting on her 1450e right one raised holding a palladium that represented civic power in the greek

the black housing. it's very important that housing is safe and tndc, i know they are good in providing different forums to housing the sios and stuff, but safety is something that our city must make sure your house is just like you need to protect the people who write the tickets. san francisco is not taking safety from people who making zero to 81,000 lower income where they're living inside or outside. so, i hope that's also, since they will have a view, you do want to be safe wherever you live. if you're not safe in your house wherever you live in san francisco, those things need to be dealt with a healthy solution. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in public comment on this item? public comment is now -- please step up. ~ on this item. >>> i think as a citizen, everyone, [speaker not understood], should show loyalty to our president to the united states of america, to show [speaker not understood] loyalty to the national [speaker not understood] american gov

recapture their investment this is discouraging where people are trying to develop additional new housing for the city so you have to realize the city should give extra incentives for a smaller builder like marching to build this kind of unit rather than discourage it but if you supervisor jane kim if you are considering we put up we required the owner to provide additional affordable but their though the building luxury unit in in my opinion i will in the richmond district for a a long time with 3 bedroom new united for 11 hundred secret it's really affordable - >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm amy lee i'm not not working on this project but speaking as a resident of the richmond district i'm a single mom of 3 i'd love to have those size of rental apartment this is a city that is favorable unfriendly with one bedroom studios i've moved to the richmond and stuck in a house this is too expensive because they're not unit like this available to families like myself i felt strongly but this project and feel for marching she is he is so developed previous projects that are skeptic to the

not just housing and our schools. and i think that you know, it is really interesting as we see increased congestion in our city because of our growth in worker and resident population there will be i think more questions on how we do the student assign sxment enrollment. and so seeing, no further comments, i will take a motion to continue this item. >> and i will do that without opposition. >>

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.

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

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.

and the house begins debating and the house membersr know that jeannette rankin is a pacifist and she is going to vote her conscience. so, we have some oral histories of people who were in the chamber who recall members going up to rankin and asking her to vote present. do not vote no. but she does her conscience and opposes the war. she is the lone vote against u.s. entry into world war ii with the declaration of war against japan. that effectively ended her political career. she goes back into private life. but she's a force in the anti-war movement really for another couple decades. but a remarkable career. >> in 2004, we commissioned a new portrait of jeannette rankin. who is soperson important in the history and expansion of rights and representation in congress. so, when we commissioned it, we wanted to sort of show -- we wanted to show what it was like to come into congress is the first woman, when women do not have the right to vote. because it was a 20 century, 1916, 1917 when she is elected and enters congress, she -- there is a lot of newspaper coverage for because she is a

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

i mean didn't that fall under low income housing why have we been mislead thinking this is the picture over here and all of a sudden they take it away and is we already picked what we want you to have that's my biggest issue. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm carolyn i work to the veterans quality center at as outreach coordinator and i want to make sure there are bmr procedures that are amend we want to reduce the amount of barriers for the applicants we prepare for we talk about the language assess all the printed and online materials should be trained but i've spent time in line for 3 hours i've seen miscommunication between the staff and applicants who's who primary language is not english and there should be post lottery interviews also there should be a uniform policy on immigration status like with the developers with visa requirements and also the application itself when you pick up an application you actually get 14 pages only need to fill out 5 but 14 pages is overwhelming for folks whose primary language is not english we definitely think the application should be re

i have talked a number of times with the mayor's office of housing. i've actually talked to the controller's office about this as well, this issue of distressed mortgageses and trying to come up with a plan for it ~. i even put language into the housing trust fund prop c in 2012 that would address the need to support households in the seventh part of san francisco where you have single-family homes, where you have household that are working to maintain their mortgages. at the last minute, the housing trust fund section that was called homeowner stabilization fund was changed to the housing stabilization fund and the idea that we had around supporting struggling homeowners with mortgages was really alleviated with that language and taken out. and, you know, the mayor's office of housing gets a lot of credit from me for their work around affordable housing, development, and working with numerous communities across san francisco in trying to maximize local dollars. i give them a lot of credit for that. but there's a real blind spot when it come to provid

you apply to ssi i was able to get into the let the record reflect outreach i don't know about the housing it's terrific but it certainly starts and that's one example there are such a diverse city and it's geographically diverse people live in areas were there isn't affordable housing being build or not part of the organizations how do we assure that all san franciscans know about this had he how to access it? well, you said a lot of things we're - we have we do so we need to reach deeper and that is part of the access to housing program that you spoke of we not only gave those funds to the lgbt center but to other local agencies working in neighborhoods and so we're hoping that that will address some of that and then providing the training to those agencies so that they are more aware of the opportunity as we come out and i think will help as well right now we have about 17 thousand names on our e-mail housing alert system where people get an e-mail alert for an opportunity they can sign up for overflow room rentals or both and we do need to make sure that our developer partners are foll

the white house. but that's me. maybe i'm in a minority in that role. >> yes, sir. >> but it's been reported that the service had multiple contacts with gonzalez prior to september 19th incident. will any review of that event include a review of how information regarding the suspect prior to that date was handled, including information gathered by the secret service investigators following gonzalez's arrest on july 19th, 2014? >> yes, sir. that's correct, sir. do you want me to explain a little bit what happened? >> if you would do that. >> yes, sir. during that time, sir, when mr. gonzalez was arrested down in virginia, our roanoke office was advised of the arrest. there was consultation between the local authorities, and our agents, and at that time our agents did not interview mr. gonzalez. subsequent to that, when mr. gonzalez posted bond, our agents did interview mr. gonzalez, and we were aware of the weapons that he had in his vehicle. we were also aware of the map that he had in his possession.

>> again it does come down to trust, house/senate, trust between the white house-senate-house the weh together. instead of taking politically di visi dd ddi divisiveness. >> what are you specifically willing to comb pro my with democrats on, in terms of achieving something for this country? where can you find common ground? on a variety of issues i have in the house. i voted. one of 33 pubs in the house to vet against the house version of violence against women act. support the senate version of violence against women act. i believe the house watered it down. gary peters of course who was just elected to the senate last night from michigan on a variety of issues. spending issues. reducing duplication. energy, renewable energy. things we have to pursue. i will continue to buck my party to do just that. >> one of the reasons you within according to expert, pollsters, pound yi pundits, your opponent soon to be former senator mark udall spoke too much about women's reproductive rights. while you won, male voters in kol ki colorado by double digits. he won male voters by single digits. do

in the white house. and it often can be a recipe for getting things done that people actually want done. the things he held out are potential areas of agreement. trade. trade bills that republicans are interested in seeing passed. there will be democratic support for. at least enough to get passed and get the president's signature. corporate tax reform. something president obama has put forward already in office. now those are not likely things that will excite many americans. they're not likely things that americans went to the polls looking to congress to get done. if they are done they will create positive momentum. >> will the president walk away from his commitment to change the immigration laws in the united states? >> this is a huge question because of the warning that senator mcconnell just gave, i think that the white house will have to decide, the president will have to decide, about the imperative. there's a commitment the president made to take action if congress won't. there's an opportunity

available on any device. >>> there's the house. >> the house. >> november 2009.vanished, the mcstays moved into a new house. >> there's the entrance. >> it was a new beginning. >> light colors. hi, you like all this big room in here? >> for them to be able to run and play outside, it was perfect. >> i know how these work. >> but by february 15th, 2010, that once perfect house was now shrouded in mystery. the mcstay family was still missing, and so was their truck. detectives send out a be on lookout, bolo. what did they discover? >> instantly, randi, they get a hit on the truck. impounded from a shopping mall near the mexican border. >> detectives say four days after the mcstays disappeared, they white izuzu trooper was parked and subsequently towed from a parking lot steps away from the mexican border. >> there was nothing in that car to indicate that anything bad had happened. >> no apparent foul play. investigators and loved ones had to consider the possibility. did the mcstays park their car at the border and then vanish into mexico? >> summer was afraid of m

that housing is a human right?t is. it should be a human right. the fact that in 1979 when we started cutting our affordable housing budget. in 1983 we were opening shelters. it shows a cause and affect. we know what caused homelessness. we know what it takes to address it. in our messaging, nothing ends homelessness like a home. the other irony is it's not that the federal government stopped funding housing. at the time in the 70s when these cuts started, the they total 48 billion. they aent fr and now you have a different billion differential. we didn't stop funding housing. if you owe me $50, and you tell me to keep it. i just gave you $50. so a tax credit is the same as a different subsidy. we still subsidize housing and think it's a priority but only those we think can afford to make money for the mortgage companies and business people. >> i think we all agree this is a wheel not a steel problem. we have the steel to fix the problem but we as a society, as a government, as a nation don't have the will to fix t
