[applause] not to tell stories out of school, but when i first got sworn in and thought i knew a few things, we sat there, myself, sophie and gavin, we voted over and over, and we weren't going anywhere. mayor brown gave me no plan b, so i kept voting that way. mayor brown doesn't tell you plan b, you have to stick with plan a, which is what i was smart enough to do. but one challenge that exists for our city to think about as we celebrate accomplishments is that san francisco cannot be a great city without strong black leadership, and it has dwindled in the past years. as wonderful as it is that our city elected ms. harris to be d

importance of standing up the afghan army, you also pointed out nato is still short 2000 trainers to mentor these guys. you say they need to be pressured to step up. i guess the best way would be to name them. can you give me some ideas? >> i would rather not name them. they know who they are, and i would rather not name them. >> you mentioned this extraordinary protection rackets. i take it the private contractors are paying private security firms sued replace passage, and that ended up in the hands of warlords and the taliban themselves suggesting we are funding the people killing our troops. how serious do you think that is, and what can we do about it? >> it is very serious. they are determined we are going to end it. i am sure of their determination. they are pretty explosive. the afghan army protects afghan convoy is providing suppliers to the afghans. they do not rely on these contractors. they end up being a protected racket. we will protect your convoys, but they are making sure there is no end to the threat to those convoys because they are making good money by protecting, and i a

i mean, we had mentors. i want to make sure i don't walk away from here saying all those bad n.g.o.s. our mentors are in n.g.o.s. people who are really... have educated us. because like i say you have great people but the organizations are flawed. >> rose: but you personally. >> yeah, personally. there is something in all of us, i think, that at once is searching for purpose, paying for sins, and recognizing our skill sets. and i think that when those things merge and they're complemented by the incredible character of people like the haitian people and, yes, the smiles of the children who i still speak no creole with because i consider myself a facilitator. i'm a function their in this situation. i have people are very hug give kissy with everybody in my organization. i'm... i try to function as a machine in the middle of it. so i notice prifly just how beautiful the smiles are but i don't invest in it. but when those things come around and they grab you and you find yourself surrounded by people who are in

culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money mentoring is a chemise maybe even a lot of people at various ways to get around a good part of the world is experiencing a crippling feat which is this a trend or simply freaky weather one. state has provided citizens with. rights a bit. of self before i could lock up a little chat i'll tell you i had a problem like. when the government since trying to. kill someone might land. right. out of the killing and dramatic. something has been to the casio region of the wilderness in the great outdoors a form of adventure. now watty goes to central russia where the car industry is rapidly developing where history finds a new life in its paintings and where american citizens can find a new. welcome to the. russian close up. to. wealthy british style. sometimes the title of. the. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cars. the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. come out again a quick check of the headlines from all see a russian investigation into the sinking of a south

and i take the point that is the lynchpin, you came back and said nato is short 2,000 trainers to mentor these guys. you mentioned the stalwart allies we have but others need to be pressured to step up. i guess the best way to do that is to name them. give me an idea -- >> i would rather not name them. i think they know who they are and i prefer not to name them. >> let me mention something else, this protection racket that your committee is doing an investigation of. i take it these private contract ors -- contractors are paying security firms for safe passage and that money is ended up in the pockets of warlords suggesting that we are funding this. and that is an extraordinary story. how serious do you think that is and what can we do about it? >> it's very serious. general petraeus and his people are determined that they are going to end it. i'm not sure when i pressed him as to exactly how they are going to end it, but i'm sure of their determination to end it. they were pretty explicit. the afghan army, for instance, protects afghan convoys providing supplies. this is a much smaller

we have the program that provides research dollars and counseling and mentoring programs for these companies as well. but there are capital gaps we are working hard on our existing platforms where we have the ability to create even more funds we have a goal of doubling the number of funds we get to in half the time. we have reengine yeared the entire program. we are looking longer term for early stage capital as well. >> is there anything we can do to move things forward as an industry. >> i would not ask to you lobby or to do any of that. in fact, the president has been asking, i think he talks about a state of the union. we are very eager for these activities to become part of what we can execute right now, there's a number of bills. a lot have passed the house and senate a lot have passed the house very quickly. >> thank you for coming today, it's a really great presentation. a second point and a lot of the staff you have hired and current ones you inherited. just to emphasize that we have been working with the white house and the department of treasury and the sba to some extent on magin

than the in-state background checks, it would prohibit sex offenders access to children through mentoring programs. 6% of checks have come back showing serious criminal records. in a study of the pilot program it was found 41% of the individuals with criminal history had committed an offense in a state other than one which they were applying to be a volunteer. a state-based search would not provide a complete picture. over 50% of the individuals found to to have had criminal history had falsely indicated on their application form that they did not have a criminal history even when the volunteers knew i even when the volunteers knew their background check was going to be performed. this is a noncontroversial fee-based program that has provided invaluable information to mentoring organizations at no cost to taxpayers. it makes sense now to make the program permanent. i thank my colleague from california, mr. schiff, for his hard work on this bill and i urge my colleagues to support it. and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his t

the mentoring program is where a senior kaptur mentored the more junior first officer. today we haven't bee a different scenario. we have highly experienced pilots that are not working and we have less experienced ilots. you cannot trained for that. we should have slowdown and slow up. we o not have that their plans to put on those routes. last i checked, they have yolks and there is no reason we cannot fly the airplanes. to say that that is the solution to the problem is we do not have that size aircraft is ludicrous. the people that mentored us for the people whose very pensions were taken away, and we will have to solve for the outsourcing problem and e dissarity in the pensions as we move forward. >> i would add that that fra for trainnng standards and flight time standards are basically set a baseline of acceptability. for years and years of the contracts -- alpha contracts safety and training. those wwre areas that got degraded in the contracts. as we rebuild the contracts, we will have to make mopay more atn to flight time and do the time i hope we have your supp
