local roads. so for some regional administration has to take care for the locality administration. so this is mainly a guideline that has to support local administrations in their work. and why do local administrations need this? because there is a regional regulation that says that all our local authorities need to have a local mobility plan. i heard this morning about a problem like neighbors complaining when things have to be changed and the whole debate that is coming up then. but i think we have it similar because it's our local mayors who sometimes are hesitating to put into practice -- that's one of the reasons why those cycling routes sometimes get stuck, because you have a regional cycling route, but local authorities, we have 19 in brussels, local authorities do have to give permits for that. there is a lot of criticism on that and i heard my dutch colleague say one hour ago, you can get stuck because at local levels people don't like it, although your regional plan is to be so good. that's true. on the other hand, i think that it's a good democratic process to really to

the local administration has to have some time to be able to achieve this new criteria. the local elections might be within three months from now or three months from the issuance of the law. >> we have also be media low, which might be issued before the end of ramadan. the committee will be formed to study and review the constitution. this committee needs at least three months. i do not think it will need more than six months. this is the accurate time limit the should be put in front of the committee itself to be able to discuss it and to be able to see what it needs. then the parliamentary elections, there are some different points of views. from four months the eight months after issuing the executive instructions of the elections, and the aim is to get the opportunity to all parties to be formed and to be able to compete. speaking, six months would be ok to have the elections in february 2012. these sets of laws and regulations might be the end of a period of reforms. then we move to the applications and will have something other to say. >> within the reforms and law

and the search in the area will begin shortly sale storage fees we heard recently from the local administration as people go there to collect pine nuts they grow everywhere so they may well be people out in the tiger although we don't know how many in that area back in december when the three globe satellites responsible for navigation used by the space program run by russia's military they plunged into the sea in february a ministry of defense satellites stopped working properly and just a few. days ago on the eighteenth of august another freshly launched satellite went off its orbit and disappeared off the radars altogether so this is the fourth in the line of rather worrying pick ups it's also made a little bit more worrying by the fact that the u.s. has now stopped its space shuttle flights to the international space station those astronauts up there can survive about two months on the supplies that they have but it's thought to have to be another emergency mission up there and they're totally reliant on flights of these soyuz rockets up from baikonur. and mark president of the british inte

this is related to the local administration nationwide. this would also be during the next few days. to implement this relies on the voters. are we going to apply the same old way? are we going to talk about any political system, new mechanisms? of the push young people in political institutions come inside and outside the country -- in the last month, there is sort of a feeling among the young people that they are isolated. this is not a good feeling. a young man or young woman needs energy. if they are depressed so much of their life, that is good. they have to have a role, something to do. this is the most important thing, that we can do something. my question is about the next period. it will be politically more debated. what about the changes in the constitution? up to the moment, we have issued three decrees about the elections and the parties. within a few days, we will have another decree to eliminate the parties. anybody who wants to have his own party, in the group, will try to -- practically, we will be ready to accept applicant

the local administration, given the minimum of 45 days, for the next elections. we will be having this in 45 days for the next elections, and amendments were made on a local administration, which has to have some time, a similar. -- similar period to achieve this new criterion. the local elections might be three months from now. and we also have the media, which might be issued before the end of ramadan, and we can immediately start the application of this -- and a committee will be formed to discuss the constitution. this committee needs at least three months. i do not think it will need more than six months. this is the time limit that should be put in place with the committee itself to be able to discuss it and to be able to say what does it need. then the parliamentary elections -- are some different points of view. from four months to eight months of issuing the executive instructions of the elections, to give all parties the opportunity to form. i think logically speaking, six months will be ok to have the elections in next february, 2012. these sets of reg

administration. the new starts process has always been extremely competitive and has always been a process where a local sponsor engages the federal transit administration from the beginning of the project for environmental clearance. so there are many steps throughout this process, working with the fta. assuming you pass all of those steps, it is unlikely the project will not get a full funding grant agreement. there is a real issue about whether the funding comes in, when it is assumed, the timing. that is why, a few months ago, the mta, and we, took action for backup. for instance, the state bond funding. with the federal funding, and the mta has been working with the comptroller's office. you may recall that this is the way that it is historically done. i think that this will be funded at all levels requested. commissioner mirkarimi: very good. discussion? public comment? >> i am the planning manager at chinatown cdc. we have been working on this project for a 15to 20 years -- 15 to 20 years and we would like to come to you to ask for support. san francisco is a transit first city. we are all workin

they did not get the deal that would restore funding to faa, federal aviation administration. that means local airport projects mad cow on hold. you might say they are grounded like the small planes you see behind me here. we're live from the palo alto airport this morning. this airport needs to be seismically retrofitted. but that's not going to happen during the stalemate that could last through labor day. about 4,000 faa employees and some 80,000 construction workers are now out of work. almost 250 airport construction projects are on hold nationwide worth almost $11 billion. psych milk work at the airport in livermore is also on hold. construction of the $30 millionaire traffic control tower at oakland international also stopped. this, of course, not sitting well with local politicians. >> with this shutdown, there is no business, there are no jobs, and our economy is not being stimulated. >> now, here is where it really matters to you and me. it was thought this could bode well for passengers, because ticket taxes, which average about 10% of a round trip fare are suspended during this shu

deal of micro projects jointly by the world bank and the cure of administration they provide pieces of the money while local citizens have to find the rest often go around houses to collect because nearly two hundred micro projects will be built in this region but end of the year . we want to change people's attitudes instead of expecting things done for them we want to take initiative we are giving power to the people. this might look like a women's institute meeting in a village hall in fact the participants are thrashing out the details of a new road there is heated debate about the quality of the works and what of the builders are falling behind. unlike other projects the financing of the road is completely transparent we know where every rouble has gone. the village of color charity has just over a thousand residents several hundred of them petty criminals serving time in a labor colony because one poorly stocked shop and for every road built homes more that need to be repaired. one micro project will not solve its problems but it is a start now the government can't just rely on its citizens to come up

the entire team is working to get ready, not just fema but local state officials. >> administrator, thisyou. one, what are the three things when people evacuate and find themselves leaving their home, what are the three things to have when they leave? then i'll ask my second question. >> sure. if you are ordered to evacuate, hopefully you have the plan and know where to go. a lot of people get on the road, don't have a destination and where to go. how far do i need to go for safety. take important papers and don't forget your pets. >> three good points. we have been talking all morning about how governs in the path of hurricane irene are declaring a state of emergency. that's a term of art. they have to declare a state of emergency for all sorts of material and funding to come from the federal government. how does that work? >> they declare emergencies because under a state constitution, they can waive requirements for certain things to speed up response. oftentimes, they activate their teams to get everything in place. it's the first step of them determining if they are going to need fe

and that police alone can solve this problem, nor can congress, nor can the administration without cooperation, locallystatewide, nationally, as well as internationally. and we have no national police in america. this is why i reach out to new york, check with them other issues. i reach out to all the major cities as a member of the major cities chiefs association. but then a reach out in my own community so there is no gap regarding resources. the real truth is that the american public must step up to the plate and do more. even if it is just educating yourself. on the issue of mosque, for example, yes or -- >> about 10 seconds. >> we can go into mosques in los angeles and we do that frequently. >> the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from alabama is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. before and to my questions i do want to point out that i've been a member of this committee since it was established as a standing committee and even before that when it was a select committee. ..

local government -- when you don't do layoffs in state and local government, you are keeping african americans employed. >> the administration has the problem you just talked about in a whole lot communities. he has done a lot for the lgbt community that they don't even know. people are not focused on a little wonky things he has done that don't mean a lot to many people. it means a lot to people in non- urban areas. >> who would've thought this president would have problems communicating the narrative. there are problems in the respect you just mentioned, in terms of explaining the debt ceiling, on some eight different issues. it seems to come up that i wonder where the connection is. what is the story that you will tell us to help us to understand and help us understand what you are going to do about it? >> i want to switch gears a little bit and go back to those on the right. you have touched on social issues. in the past, we have seen republicans and the gop try to use issues like terrorism and abortion to get votes of african-americans from democrats. there was a panel on lgbt rights and the president attended. it seems
