i asked them why it was there. the lady denied that it was a flag. i hope you will do something to prevent this kind of thing from happening. thank you. >> good evening. i am working in san francisco. some days ago, i heard that some residents -- the drowning of a a body. the flight can lead to orders for me and have treated me with a lot of painful memories. i was 16 years old when my mom was arrested because she practiced. without it, she was imprisoned with the labor camps. the first time was two months after she was debriefed. i just saw her three times over the next year. i could not focus on my school work at all. i will see my mom again. some of my mom's friends were beaten to death. in i kept thinking if my mom was going through the torture to. i heard about some other practitioners. the second time i saw her was seven months later. that was the first time i found that is a mother's love to her son. i saw her through the window and 100 practitioners standing in one group on the ground. they were dressed in light yellow shirts. i could not dist

i ask insertion in the record. i also ask insertion the letter if the automobile association and the u.a.w. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. levin: i also want to quote the letter from the statement from the motor an equipment manufacturers association. it says as follows. the pending f.t.a.'s offer real opportunities for parts manufacturers an our employees in two of the fastest growing regions, asia pacific and south america. we can ill afford to neglect these and other markets as key competitors. i ask that this letter be inserted in the record. so that's what the issue is here today. we face a one-way market with impenetrable barriers. these are now being torn down. this is a jobs bill. this is a jobs bill. we have to be ale to compete and our auto industry can now compete. in order to be able to compete effectively, we have to tear down the marks ofther cupries and make sure our markets ar not only open to them but their markets are open to us. we worked very hard to make this happen.

i ask that you look at the previous efforts and blessed by the city to end the violence. i acknowledged the loss of ms. manueal but also the family of the most who were killed by senseless violence. i ask that you look at a strategy for african-americans. 50% unemployment is unacceptable. the rates of migration are unacceptable. i ask for a plan of diversity that includes the sustainability of african-americans in this city. lastly, i want to thank each and everyone of you. i want to ask to join supervisor cohen and thank her. president chiu: thank you. >> thank you. south beach marina apartments. you guys deserve a trip. take a break. i have made a map for you where to go. this is the mission. if we were there last week and we are going to go again. what we have got here it is the little black spot. that is the driveway of our little building. it is 3 years old. will it transfer? it does not like it transfers. what we have got here is, this photograph, as you can see, but you cannot see. would it change over if i went that way? this is going to take longer than -- anyway,

i asked about a school and i know thisd the kids disappeared and i asked about school and they were very embarrassed and finally took me behind the village and i saw 84 children sitting in the dirt during school lessons. five girls and 79 boys and writing with sticks in the sand. i've seen a lot of poverty in africa but when i saw those kids and a young girl came up to me and - it was a cold autumn day and he or she said will you help us build a school and i made a very rash promise and promised to build a school. i was very broke and had to raise 12 thousand dollars and i didn't have a clue how to raise money like that. so i went to the local library. any librarians here. there's one. let's all give them a big and. [applause] so i went to the library, the resource librarian and talked to her and we looked up the name of 580 celebrities and movie stars and i didn't know how to use a computer so i and typed 580 letters. dear michael jordan, dear sylvester stallone. guess what happened? nothing. then at christmas time i got one check for $100 from tom brokaw and then i saw my climbing ger

i believe my friend was asked to, i cannot verify what was said. supervisor avalos: if you could talk about the advertising that you saw that came from outside of first resort? >> i am familiar with some of the internet searches that have come up. they have been alluded to before. when you google abortion in san francisco, 1st resort is the first thing that comes up. >> at the time that -- supervisor avalos: at the time that you went, what were the advertisements of first resort? >> this was part of my research for my organization, but i did not look at their advertisement. i knew where i was going. supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker please. >> my name is jennifer messiner. i did not plan to speak today, but after hearing everybody, i needed to add something that was lacking in the discussion. i think we are assuming that women with unexpected pregnancies are walking into places like first resort and been disappointed that a dropper abortions. but how many people are walking into places that to cover abortions, feeling not supported, surpris

mostly i don't ask for a payout upfront. first and foremost i sell it for people one she's been in bali for a while it's a different story. it would serve if i find one and she stays here for months then everything's free that month food rent everything then when she leaves she'll give me money for food for money and something maybe a money to cover rent for three to four months for the good. see say she goes shopping trip a little she buy for me working when fifa says the two or three dollar t. shirts well you know goodbye to that ok tourist. colors have the feel it's better for me to look for someone older than the higher salary and i still earn a lot younger woman is unlikely to stay here as low life because she probably doesn't have as much money i don't have any away be she's traveling during school breaks and only has enough to eat and party in valley. meaning it would take an older woman like me at first just say. you're old enough to be my son how much you spoke i missed the piano i did i would say i don't care about

i ask consent that the call of the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, if i could just speak briefly -- and of course i'll yield the floor if somebody comes forward and actually wants to do something here. but i'd like to speak to an amendment 753 to h.r. 2112 by the distinguished senator from new hampshire, senator ayotte. the amendment i believe would tie the hands of our national security and law enforcement efforts to secure our national security. i'm a little bit concerned the amendment is being offered at this time. you know, just a week ago we learned of the foiled asenior senator nation attempt in the united states of the saudi ambassador to the u.s. we learned that because the justice department, the d.e.a., thephyte, others -- the f.b.i., others worked very closely to stop what would have been an horrific, who have riffic terrorist attack on our soil against a foreign national, an ambassador. we pride ourselves on protecting ambassadors from other countries as we expect them to

president, i ask unanimous consent to vitiate the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. ive rise in support of -- i rise in support of amendment 771 sponsored by senator bingaman. it will strengthen our nation's competitiveness, as i heard the majority leader and the republican leader talk about job creation. this will matter. strengthening our nation's competitiveness by ensuring that we enforce trade laws better than we have. american workers, american farmers can compete with anyone. we can compete on productive, we can compete -- productivity, we can compete on skills. when workers are forced to compete against unfair export subsidy, that's cheating, as we showed on the china currency bill which passed with 63 votes, good, strong, bipartisan effort. and we can compete against unfair export subsidies if we're forced to compete against unfair export subsidies, our workers can't compete against that kind of cheating. fortunately we have tools to do something about that. our trade laws are the

i would ask myself if i would get caught. in california, half of the people who commit murder are not caught. we need to catch the people committing murder. this is what she means when punishment must be firm, if people get away with murder, they learn that they can and the community learns that they can. this is really the fundamental problem. we can do much better job if we were actually to replace the death penalty to life without parole and invest the money saved in solving homicides. every victim's family should have some justice. >> i wanted to ask you to perhaps tell the audience about the controversy related to the death qualified jury. many people did not realize that when we select a jury for the death penalty case, this is comprised of different members of the city. >> people look to california as we continue to send a lot of people to death row every year, with the highest number of new death sentences. people look at the state and they see how many people in california are moving away from the death penalty, who

i ask to extend and revise my remarks. i come to the floor today to talk about the need to pass the three free trade agreements that we will be voting on today. these agreements will mean more export opportunities, access to raw materials at a lower cost for american manufacturing and make american companies and farmers more competitive in additional market where they currently face high tariffs. free trade agreements results in jobs and profits for american businesses. in 2010, the second district of alabama saw 4,927 jobs directly supported by exports. of the two billion in total merchandise exports, $769.4 million was to free trade agreement partners. the colombia, panama and korea free trade agreements will open up opportunities for businesses all over the nation, including in my home state of alabama. in regards to the korea free trade and what it means to alabama, in 2009 alabama did $300 million in exports to korea, making cree -- korea the 11th export market for alabama. the bill we will be voting on today it will m

i also would ask unanimous consent, mr. president, to -- i mentioned the endorsements of many organizations. this is a letter from those organizations, civil rights organizations, supportive our legislation. i'd like to enter this into the record with unanimous consent. the presiding officer: without objection, it will be included in the record. mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. i would like to speak on a second amendment also, mr. president. since a peak in 2006, housing prices, as we know, in this country have fallen by nearly a third. total homeowner equity slashed in half with a loss of more than $7 trillion. some 6 million people have lost homes since the height of the financial crisis. just yesterday we heard aing leading republican presidential candidate tell an editorial board in nevada that his solution to the nation's housing crisis is to speed up -- to speed up -- the rate of foreclosures. this despite clear evidence that basic legal requirements have often been ignored, have often gone ignored in foreclosures

first, i would ask consent that i speak briefly about the transportation-h.u.d. appropriations bill that the senate is going to next be debating. the presiding officer: without ÷bjection. mr. leahy: i thank senator murray and senator collins for all the assistance they provided on several issues. they especially important to vermont in the wake of hurricane irene's massive devastation. i've talked many times on the floor about what happened in vermont in hurricane irene. i was born in vermont. i've never seen anything like this. it remines me of the story for my grandparents told me of a flood in the early part of the 20th century, the flood of 1927. we've seen roads, businesses, farms all over the state wiped out. as i travel around the state both my wife and i have gone all over the state, gone with the governor, gone with the adjutant general, seeing things that literally brought me to tears if our beautiful, beautiful state getting hit like that. it's very clear as i've talked to the people working, who everybody has pitched in whether they trr the town that

in a prehearing question, i asked you the following -- this is what i said to hemplet "i ask you this in your prehearing. your back brands is in education and public policy. have you acquired any budget training, including classes or continuing education? your response was, qush quote -- i have not taken any formal education classes. she said, quote, for over a drksd i've worked at the highest levels of policy-making in the united states senate and the white house. this work has included but was floimented to budgetary implications of those policies. not budget but policy issues and budgetary implications of those policies. so the answer to the question that i asked is, no, clearly. she simply does not have the kind of serious budgetary experience to be the deputy director at an office that manages a government that is spending $3,700,000,000,000 this year and taking in about $2.3 trillion. borrowing 40 cents of every dollar we spend. this is a most august position, and it requires a person who can have the confidence and judgment to say "no" to people who always want to spend more. a

can i ask you why you decided to start this business? well, i entered the restaurant business as a part-timer. >> oh, is that so? >> yeah. i started off as a part-timer. while working i'd think how i'd be able to earn a living. >> can i ask you what you think is my strong point? >> well, i can see that you are a person who can pursue one thing. i think that's your strong point. if i ask you to do something, you always consider how you can achieve it. when we cooperate with other people, first we have to accept what we're told and do some thinking. i think you're a person who can do that. >> i did some self-analysis. >> no more self-analysis, please. >> well, i'm not going to ask your opinion this time. someone told me i always do my best. >> hmm, i totally agree with that person. you work really hard, but you just do so -- >> can you put it more politely? >> you can continue working wholeheartedly. so if only you can set a goal, it shouldn't be so hard for you to achieve it. >> you are saying i should work hard and focus? >> exactly. i s

i ask insertion in the record. i also ask insertion the letter if the automobile association and the u.a.w. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. levin: i also want to quote the letter from the statement from the motor an equipment manufacturers association. it says as follows. the pending f.t.a.'s offer real opportunities for parts manufacturers an our employees in two of the fastest growing regions, asia pacific and south america. we can ill afford to neglect these and other markets as key competitors. i ask that this letter be inserted in the record. so that's what the issue is here today. we face a one-way market with impenetrable barriers. these are now being torn down. this is a jobs bill. this is a jobs bill. we have to be able to compete and our auto industry can now compete. in order to be able to compete effectively, we have to tear down the marks of other cupries and make sure our markets are not only open to them but their markets are open to us. we worked very hard to make this hap

you know, without any public discussion, any votes, any -- of two organizations, i asked neighbors when i was told that we negotiated this -- [bell rings] commissioner olague: thank you. is there any additional general public comment? seeing them, a general public, disclosed. commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: am i to understand that the design was substantially changed after our approval? maybe staff can look into that. >> i personally do not know. we will look into that. i do recall that you had asked the design be changed from it you had seen to a more contemporary design. how much it changed after that, i do not know. commissioner olague: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: i would also like to hear more about that item. i remember the discussion, and if there is a significant change, i would like to know that. banks. commissioner olague: my sense from the speaker is that

i would like to ask anyone in uniform to prepared to hand salute. salute. [bell ringing] thank you everyone for coming. >> congratulations, chief. as you may well know, we were named the top in 2005. i thought that was wonderful. >> that is the top irish- americans in the country, not just san francisco. >> they knew they could fire chief when they saw one. we thought we would do a nice irish song for you. we will not take long, we promise. ♪ , over the hills my money-eyed irish lad come over the hills to your darling you choose the road love and i will make the balancvows and i will be your true love forever red is the rose that beyond the garden grows there is a lily of the valley here is the water that boasts from the spring but my love is [inaudible] ♪ ♪ down by killarney the moon and the stars they were shining the moon shone she was sure she would be my love forever red is the rose that beyond the garden grows there is delayed of our valley there is the water that flows from but my love is better than any ♪ [applause] >> over in the corner, and john's

here's the state of tennessee tennessee -- could i ask for three more minutes? a senator: i certainly have no objection. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. alexander: i thank the senator from kansas and i'll kind of speed up my comments a little bit. might take four unless that's a problem. mr. moran: i have no objection. mr. alexander: i'd like to finish my point if i may. the state of tennessee,the one rates rays to the top. developed the sanders model which was the first real way that we related student achievement to teacher performance. may sound easy, it's pretty hard. nobody else would do it, this professor in the university of tennessee agriculture department, a statistician said i think i can do it and did he it and it's used many places but not every place. some don't have confidence in it. but so tennessee wins $500 million in race to the top to do what? have a teacher-principal evaluation program. here they're doing it. 25 years of experience and it's the front page news, evaluations of teachers contentious. all the struggles with that prog

not only that, but i asked her to take it to homeless to the movies. she donated it for her own pocket. she told me if i wanted anything coming back, please, if any one of you have the courage, and you can cut any money from the fire department, the careful because she will give a hard time more than you think. [laughter] i believe her. she is woman, and she is a great woman to work day and night to save our lives. ladies and gentlemen, i would like to ask her if she has time with our supervisor jane kim and my sister to feed the homeless this year. god bless you and god bless her. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker, and i really do appreciate the respect less of the crowd. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. stop the corporate rape of the public library. not give money to the friends and foundation. do not expect -- and not accept money from the friends of foundation fewer people are starting to figure out what it costs to allow corporations to run our society for our own benefit. part of the import is how >> the branch library improvem

i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. rangel: this morning i was pleased to see that the council of catholic bishops have organized in order to influence washington as it relates to the question of same-sex marriage and abortion. i think that we all agree that these are moral issues and under our country's freedom of speech the churches, the synagogues, temples have a right and indeed in their case an obligation to speak out of the actions of congress that they disapprove of morally. i hope that this is a signal to other religious institutions that what this country is going through is not only a financial crisis but a moral crisis. and that perhaps the other religions might broaden their agenda to talk about what i truly believe is a priority and concern of every religion and that is a deep-seated moral obligations to take care of the vulnerable until our society. whether it's the lesser of our brothers and sisters, whether it's the sick and the aged, something about social

filner: i asked you. do you know you're voting on an extension of taxes in violation of your pledge to grover norquist. ms. foxx: as i said, i yield -- mr. filner: i don't yield to the chair. you don't know what you're voting on or you're voting again what your pledge was. the speaker pro tempore: members will address their remarks to the chair. the gentleman from california. mr. filner: the gentlelady did not answer my question. i guess she doesn't know what's in the bill, or she's violating her pledge. i'll leave it at that. once again, we need jobs for veterans in this country. there's no debate about that. there's no debate that retraining is ok. what we are debating here, whether this is an effective way to use the floor of this house to bring a bill which will be presented as something that did jobs and does nothing, and shows the hypocrisy of this -- of these pledges that they're voting to extend the increase. i'm not yielding. my good friend, i will not even yield to my good friend, even if you wer

on behalf of the members of the department, i would like to ask the captain to come together -- to come forward and offer the tribute, which is something that we did at the memorial service at their funeral. i would like to ask anyone in uniform to prepared to hand salute. salute. [bell ringing] thank you everyone for coming. a hundred kids actively participating in our programming. it doesn't stop here, we're continuing the momentum and continuing to grow. and like those students, we want to make sure that college becomes the rule and not the exception. so i want to thank everyone here who is gathered here today. and because of all you in the room, you have contributed time, resources, advocacy, energy, to make this dream a reality. so thank you all for coming. i want to introduce some -- everyone here is a v.i.p. and i thank people for coming. they are behind me. first of all, mayor lee, mayor of san francisco. please give him a round of applause.

what i asked of you is this acceptable? president chiu: thank you. next speaker. we provide two minutes so we have equal time. why don't we hear from the next speaker? >> i am thrilled as a lifelong activist to be part of occupy sf. john avalos, david chiu, jane kim, i have the opportunity to speak with each of you and you offer your solidarity. thank you. i have clarified the fact that we are not supporting any political campaign, nor are we asking your permission. rather, we are inviting you to join in the greatest experiment in the history of the world. an experiment in deep democracy that empowers all people to participate. people are so hungry to be heard, cared about, to be able to live with dignity in their communities. a whole new wave of young people will not be coopted and are courageously together reading a new paradigm. the city of san francisco has a proud history of leading the way in the rights and freedoms of all people. it is outrageous and inhuman to see our camper rated in the middle of the night by the police. like thieves and thugs, they are or

i ask one zip code to be added. i ask that you also add 117. the rest comports with our interest, i think, in trying to at least take care, for those in the film more western addition, who are struggling to bring back attention in a jazz historical way -- i believe this institution can add to that. >> i also want to thank supervisor chu, who advised that they and service if they do not comply in the community benefits. we were able to negotiate that in this process. supervisor mirkarimi: that is a good point. i will not go into all the details, but it has been impressive. >> thank you very much. supervisor chu: i just wanted to make a comment about why this item came out of committee without recommendation. overall, it is a new type of program we have been using in the city. typically, we use redevelopment credits, but this is a new market tax credit. it allows san francisco to use tax credit to attract capital investments in to certain neighborhoods. one reason it was scheduled so quickly is there was a timing issue with potentially lose in ot

brown: i ask unanimous consent to dispense with the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. i appreciate -- appreciate the presiding officer's comments earlier in support of the currency exchange rate oversight act of 2011. the presiding officer and i both democrats joined by five republicans and three other democrats, were the prime sponsors of the currency exchange rate oversight act of 2011. it passed last -- the motion to proceed -- we have rules in the senate that are sometimes a bit unpen trafnlt but the motion to proceed passed last night with 79 votes out of 98. so there's clear interest in this body debating one of the most important jobs bills that we've seen in front of us in our five years in the senate. almost five years in the senate. i think i've never seen a bill passed that was this -- i've not seen in my time here a jobs bill passed this overwhelmingly, this bipartisanly that was this important for putting people back to work. and let me sort of expand on that. first of all this c

i ask for passage of this bill, and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back the balance of her time. mr. bishop: mr. speaker, this once again is a very good bill that's before us. the fact there hoover dam in nevada produces more than 2,000 meg i.t.a. watts which is enough to power two million households of clean electricity and that captures more than 28 million acre-feet of water for the states of arizona and nevada and california. 75 years since this engineering marvel was completed, hoover dam is still a key role in fulfilling economic job creation its job creation mission. this bill extends part of that mission. it's all paid for by the electricity ratepayers. it would cover all capital, all maintenance and all those associated with this power component of the hoover dam. there is no tax mear costs to this -- taxpayer costs to this bill. i want to thank congressman heck for bringing this bill and thank congresswoman napolitano for her work on this bill. i encourage my colleagues to support this no-cost

>> i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i recently asked my constituents to take a quick email survey regarding regulation and the impact it has on jobs and our economy. the response from the 14th congressional district of illinois was overwhelming. 68% says businesses currently operate in hostile business environment when it comes to regulation. 70% said that the regulators and bureaucrats should be required to consider the impact regulations have on jobs and businesses before they're imposed. to my constituents, i say we are listening. we're working hard to ensure that small businesses and job creators have a stable and certain regulatory environment. we're working hard to get washington off their backs. and we're working hard to ensure that they feel confident expanding and hiring, putting americans back to work and getting our economy moving again. that's why all this fall we have been tackling and cutting r

i would ask you to at least reconsider the existing regulation. i want to give mr. piper an opportunity to say something. i do not know if you want to add something, but for those of you that may or may not know david piper, i have had the opportunity to work with him in the past, and you will not find a more ethical and diligent public servants, and i know that he takes these matters very seriously, and i want to thank you for being here today. >> thank you, commissioner compos, for the kind words. we have no position on the actual recommendation. we always tried to respond to essex within 10 days, pursuant to the board's wants. our feeling is if the regulation was changed, that would be fine with us. if the commission wanted to proceed after therose 14 days, there have been a couple of instances where we have had a very complicated situation where we were about to a thin -- about to begin an investigation where it would be preferable when the ethics commission deferred for a little while while we were completing something. there are a couple of cases that have res

when i finished i bowed and asked, how do you know i was here? tomoko. what about tomoko i asked? matzu gathered the food and wrapped it up. i followed you and the others down to the beach yesterday morning. i wondered if you might find your way to peace. i couldn't, i began to cry, turning away in shame. matzu lned over and smelled a sweat, it takes greater courage to live. [applause] >> i'm going to throw it open now to questions. so you might direct me as to what you might want to know about. as we are taping this with sfgov tv i will ask you to ask your question into the microphone so they can pick it up. and you, too will be on tv. now nobody wants to. i will ask a requequestion, wha you working on now? >> does that sound planted? it wasn't. i just finished a monster of a book it's a huge book, set in japan and covers the earth from 1939 and 1966 about 2 brothers and the title is a street of a thousand blossoms. if you haven't noticed we are talking about themes that run through my book. one of the things i like a lot is exploring subcultures. the lepercy. the silk working wom

i guess i'd like to ask ms. hays first, understanding pilt is fully funded for one more year, does the administration to the best of your knowledge plan to have full funding for pilt for the 2013 budget? >> i don't think i can answer that. that would be predeciding what we're going to do in future budgets. so i'm not really able to say that at this point. >> okay. you know, in your testimony you had mentioned that the payments are typically made in june. >> right. >> there's a decision that was made to delay payments without providing any notice. was it this last year? >> there was a delay this past year, the 2011 payment. >> you know, that creates a lot of problems. i come from a small rural counties that has a lot of public lands. we have one county in my district. we're 98% of the entire county is public land or federal land. and the real issue is that does create a problem for those communities. what are your plans going forward making those counties are compensated properly. >> i'm glad you brought that up.

udall: i ask that the quorum call be lifted. i come to the floor to talk about the most important issue facing our country and our people. that's job creation. overcoming obstacles of -- 18 months of obstacles, the senate passed by ski area recreation enhancement act that will expand opportunities in many of our mountain and and resort towns in colonel and create jobs in states like the presiding officer's new york which has a robust skiing industry like ours does as well. i want to acknowledge senators barrasso of wyoming and risch of idaho. they've been tremendous partners both in this congress and the last one. i want to thank them up front for pushing for passage for this important piece of bipartisan legislation. our economy is showing some signs of recovery, but there is still a long way to go. and this is especially true in rural communities that are dotted all over my state of colorado. and i know that this question of job creation is on the forefront of the minds of all my colleagues. it's on the minds of coloradans wher

boxer: i ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mrs. boxer: i rise in support of john bryson of california, president obama's nominee to be secretary of commerce. mr. bryson will bring a wealth of experience in both the private sector and the public sector to this very important job of commerce secretary. and lord knows, we're in a recession. we're fighting hard to get out of it. we need a commerce secretary. we need someone who understands the private sector and the public sector, and you have that in john bryson. in the 1970's and 1980's he served as the chairman of the california water resources board and california public utilities commission. there he helped california navigate droughts and oil shortages and other crises during a critical period in my state's history. for more than 20 years mr. bryson utilized his talents in the private sector, first as chairman and c.e.o. of southern california edison and later as chairman and c.e.o. of edison international.mr. bryson has a

. >> i asked that question. when i was contemplating is the idea that he brings up, which is, if you frame this from the point of view, under what conditions would you want to stay to be able to kill you, a supporter of the death penalty may form an answer that says, if i were found guilty of a heinous murder, and i was done -- as was done in a certain mental state, and i created a certain amount of harm, you may go down the spaces. this was the spirit in which i presented this, asking it this way does cause a certain amount of recoil away from the question. none of us would want to be in this position. harris has come up as somebody -- and jerry brown was also the governor of the state of california, he was the attorney general and they have at times in the history when they were personally against the death penalty. when they ran for attorney general they both said that they would not interfere with the state law, and they would allow the death penalty to be carried out on their watch. this is correct? in fairn
