i was the first black to work with frank jordan's administration.very important thing. i am african-american, i go to sleep black and the wake of black and better here pounding the community -- pat -- pounding the floor for community reform. one thing for sure without a doubt and everybody's sitting in the back, this city and county and these talks, no one, not even know black leaders are talking about the emergency of african-americans. the senses, we are down, our population is down. i'm the only reporter in this city documented the african- american migration report. i'm going to be on a campaign to ensure every project and everything that shakes and moves in this city be related to african-americans. supervisor mar: how does this relate to treasure island? >> let's talk about treasure island. let's talk about redevelopment and volunteer planning. nobody is speaking about the real deal here. you have the office of economic development working appear as the successor. you must tell the truth. that department is going to be redevelopment. that is c

part of that phone call was the hope of getting jordan to get involved in the enforcement of the no-fly zone in the next few days, which the administration believes they will be able to hand off this military campaign, which is a u.s.-run military campaign. they still believe they can hand that off to an international coalition to enforce the no-fly zone in the next days, not weeks. part of that phone call to the king of jordan, trying to recruit jordan to be a part of this. they want more arab nations involved. as for the arab league criticism of this no-fly zone and the idea that maybe it went beyond the united nations, the administration says that's not true, that that resolution, what they're doing, they are following the letter of that resolution and the any means necessary clause. and they also believe the arab league will pull back some of that criticism. but it's been a diplomatic tap dance today behind the scenes, lester. you've seen a lot of members of congress go out today. and the president's been criticized both left and right. some because -- arguing that he's taken too long. speaker boehner is upset that he hasn't done eno

administrations failed to move beyond the status quo and prepare for the future. we should not associate the protests in jordan and bahrain with events transpiring in tripoli, cairo, and beirut. there is one constant. we have failed to build strong accountable institutions to protect human rights. this administration's decision to cut support from pro-democracy civil groups and to only fund groups precleared with the mubarak government is a mistake that we must never repeat. then there is the mistake of the bush administration and continued under the current administration to conduct business as usual with the libyan regime following the lifting of u.n. security sanctions sanctions that imposed that included lives -- which included taking the live of two people. madam secretary, i have a letter that they have written requesting yours and director miller's help requesting information on muammar gaddafi's attacks on targets in the 1980's and 19990's. many of us objected to their deplorable human rights. their attacking their own people is proof the aggressors cannot be coddled or engaged. then the administration
