we are very encouraged by the new mou. i think it goes directly to the heart of the recommendations we made. i think it will have a great impact on the level of collaboration. >> we have two great leaders. it is a good step, a good first step. i think there needs to be other steps taken. i think raising the levels shows the power that office needs to have as being the final arbiter in federal communication and federal spectrum argument. we need to empower those leaders to do their jobs. >> thank you. when congress gave the auction authority in 1983, it created what many of us see as one of the most valuable tools in the fcc toolkit. establishing a straightforward method of licensing and making sure that the spectrum is held. >> they are allowed to do their jobs and it holds the rest of the stakeholders to the fire to make sure that we get a second pipeline. we need to have a set -- i spectrum pipeline because the rest of the world is moving forward. i support them to have a longer option authority but i think it really nee

for clarity, i would like to differentiate mou's from internal to external.nternal mou's include the department which are called inter departmental service agreements that may include additional documents that are covered under the comptroller's office for procedures and there is the internal agreement that involves non-city department, there are no mou's but could involve staff time and no internal mou's are brought before this commission. >> in regards to incoming funding, i would like to differentiate those between budgeted and unfunded. budgeted reviews are reviewed by this normal process. unbudgeted, and unanticipated funds are funds that were not included in the formal budget approval process. the city does have policies in place for approving the budget and funding. and awards in excess of $100,000 must be approved by the board of supervisors for the department to be able to utilize. now i will focus more on outgoing money. >> incoming funding agreement the commission often has oversight in the form of contracts and grants. outgoing department grants o

now that mou covers through july of 2023. through may of 2023. and in january of this year the commission did approve acceptance of 90 thousand dollars in support for fiscal year 21-22. and we since submitted quarter low reports on the use of those funds. and as directed by mou and almost complete with this year's spending and on september 30th, we will submit a reconciled annual report to the commission on the use of the 21/22 funds. so, per terms of the mou, our staff worked with parks alliance in 2022 to forecast the expected support needs for fiscal 22/23 and did bring a proposed budget of 390 thousand dollars. and asked the commission to recommend that the board approve that. but in between the time the commission did make that recommendation to the board, and the next stretch going to the board the city enacted behested payment legislation that prevented us from working with the park's alliance on projects funded with the grant putting us in a complicated position. so, arch consulting with the city attorney determined this since a number of

lead to the mou we have before us the jpb pass the mou on june 23. passod june twoochlt sfhta passed this week and the vta is set to pass on august fourth. mou will allow the jpb to increase oversight for caltrain and ensure caltrain and the executive director has the independence and the team needed to operate the railroad as we embark on electricification it is ambitious goals as we get on prepandemic levels. i want to thank deputy city attorney innes. my colleagues for working with me and the jpb governance effort and jpb colleagues and to our cta chair supervisor mandelman and peskin worked closely with us in the caltrain board to get to agreements and move things through. we do have with us today -- one of our sfmt aboard of directors steve the chair of the jpb. i know that director heminger will provide insight to the mou. so -- chair heminger, what you like to add we will love to hear from you and appreciate you being here this morning. >> thank you, president walton i want to check if supervisor mandelman wait? >> welcome. >> supervisor, the

i think everyone has copies of the mou and the letter of understanding that governs our work and that defines what has been done and what gets done for the work so far and that's should be a solid foundation for everyone so i want to thank everyone for allowing us to do the work that we have done so far. did i miss anything? you have anything? >> (inaudible) >> and i will yield the remaining balance of my time-do i get a timer? i didn't realize. i yield the remainder of our time to my chief of staff, sara hawkins. >> thank you commissioners. i look forward helping with the transition as well. the main 2 things alluded by sheriff miyamoto and director henderson are the jurisdiction outlined in the agreement. it started with 8 cases referred to us by sheriff hennessey, those 8 cases were about 35 cases once we broke them apart. that involved into seeing the need to broaden the scope to take complaints directly from members of the community and individuals who are incarcerated and to better define the scope of the types of cases we did so i think that was a important step that has driven

then we signed an mou for advanced mobility.ber one in the country in drone readiness u arkansas is two or three so together we're developing a corridor between our two states where we're inviting all the tech companies to study what this drone looks like, what unmanned vehicles look like, our universities are focused on that the only place that you can get a ph.d. right now at oklahoma state university in unmanned aircraft so we're letting everybody know this is the future and we want them located here in oklahoma and arkansas >> governor, i recently went to wisconsin to report on the shortage of housing and how that's affecting manufacturing towns like sheboygan for al allowing more residents in i'm curious if you're seeing something similar in your state of oklahoma. i did prior to becoming governor you did run a mortgage services provider. >> the barriers to entry in oklahoma, the regulation, is so much lower than other states we've got great home builders that will meet the needs of our citizens we're going to remove any is

finally, the mou promotes better coordination and emphasizes evidence-based policymaking, something we need more of here in congress. ranking member thune and i structured this hearing towards that goal. there is a broad interest from our colleagues across the united dates senate and many who have been working on this issue during their entire time in the united states senate. our consensus of panel brings together expert in the field of spectrum management with years in the field managing these resources directly or engaging in the broader debate at a national ale. with that, mr. chairman, i want to introduce our witnesses. but i will go to you first, sir, for an opening statement. i want to thank mr. wicker, our ranking member of the full committee, to be here with us to open up the hearing. we will welcome the ranking member of the subcommittee, the republican whip, upon his arrival. >> we expect senator thune to be here very soon. the subcommittee is convening to discuss the state of spectrum policy in the united states. thank you to chairman lujan and others for holding this impor

. >> germany's motorways are world-mous.re is technically nothing to stop a driver doing more than 400 kilometers an hour. would slowing them down signifantly reduce fuel consumption? in the drive to conserve energy, this economist believes everything helps. >> this could save someone .5% of consumption of fuel. if we were to limit it, introduce a speed limit, i think we should be caref about enforcing it forever. but for some time as long as the crisis prevails, why not? >> a speed limit would please environmental companies. and those who worry about safety , although significantly more people die on germany's rural roads than the autobahn. this debate has been ranging on an offer years. it is extremely contentious. it is a land of rules and regulations. so for many, it is about so much more than the open road. it is about freedom. and r germany's liberal politicians, that right is sacrosanct. though the rest of the coalition government disagrees. >> if you say 130 kilometers per hour, the next person says 100 kilometers pe

being built is a presidential center, a combined museum and policy center run by the foundation with an moubout artifacts. 95% of the records created in the obama administration were born digital, there is no paper equivalent. the money that would have been used is being used to digitize records that would have been in paper so we can flip the switch for access to the obama records online. a certain portion, a rolling schedule. susan: for people not familiar, the legal wrangling with the trump administration, how much can you say? david: there is an investigation going on. i can say we know we suspect we don't have everything, in terms of what we don't have. it points out to me the weakness of the presidential records act which gives me the authority to provide guidance to the white house but not any authority over activities in the white house. susan: are you surprised, is this the first time in your tenure you have ever been in a legal dispute with a presidential administration? david: this is the first time for me. probably going back to richard nixon and that was responsible for the cre

the issues we had in the past of the chief mentioned have been related to mou impacts where full salary impacts on wage or benefit increases as pertain to premium pay or overtime rates were not from our perspective not fully include in our budget so every year we will be going back not to the board necessarily but to the controller's office and mayor's office. we obviously let them know of the issues but to make use of reserves and other things intended for that. that commitment on annual basis got pretty material, especially during covid so working with the mayor budget office the division was made to address that head-on and address them structurally in the budget. >> okay. so in terms of that, i know we are feeling good with the budget and the signing of the budget. in terms of my definition of trying to understand that budget to be whole, that budget number that we are operating or have been approved this year with give and take in terms of percentages and such, as you say covid related, that budget request will be pretty much the number we will ask for the following year and are we

there we have four people, we all start arguing there mou is three against one .es the whole point. understandably, we come to the same opinion, and that’s all, and we come out with one idea of ​​work. the process of work is going on and trust is mutual trust is mutual respect, therefore there is no doubt there, that who will go to talk. what's the difference? we speak our views to ours in the form of a vision of cska well, a relatively easy calendar. at the start of this season. you have played with one big club so far, because sochi is still not playing this season. so what about him as about a big club to say you had a game with zenit the game is completely different in content, the games in the first and second half, but all the same, these five rounds are behind us. which of the halves, in your opinion, is, well, the closest to the model that the soviet is now striving for, in which it wants to play, but i think that the second half was a good torch in general, the game was very good and there, probably, for the last half an hour the ball went very quickly an

and he looks at me, yeah, i know adam, but now how it goes and i was like, kevin, now, i don't know mou it how it does, and you make stuff up and that's now how i operate, but that's how he operates and you cannot have someone with such little regard for the truth as speaker of the house. indeed, this is one of the most destructive things mccarthy was ahead of his time in his lack of devotion to the truth, but over the last four years, there's been this relentless assault by trump and his accolites, rudy giuliani and kellyanne conway, alternate facts. if we don't have the facts, the same shared experience, democracy doesn't work, and so i think that's been one of the most corrosive things which is this relentless attack on the truth and i'm sure you feel it keenly as a journalist, because the press has been among the biggest targets for the former president and and it's a play book which says you need to discredit objective media. you need to persuade people that the only truth is what you tell them, and so we can't have another president like that and we certainly can't have speaker of

european union and in fact a certain point the polls go to the americans and say we need you to sign a mou guaranteeing the treatment of these people and the cia declined to this goes on until the threat that khalid sheikh mohammed, believed to be the architect of the 9/11 disaster is caught in pakistan and the polls say he's the final one and he's been diver did 183 times while he's in poland. the polls feel relieved that this issue is gone. then officers leak about this issue e and while it's a wonderful thing as it appeared in the western press so we can learn what the cia was doing, poland was an extra inherently difficult moment. they felt left holding the bag, abandoned by the cia and punished for the fact that they were more than the cia. nonetheless, even after this imbroglio andthe fact that the polls lost trust in the agency the polls continue to work for the cia both in iran and north korea being involved in sensitive operations . so in discussing this issue with a senior polish politician and siformer foreign minister, he talked about this similarly in terms of how it feels to

cnbc's senior congressional correspondent ylan mou now >> reporter: yeah, shep, selling this bill is going to be just as important as passing it. democrats want to show they can deliver results when they have control of washington. just minutes after sen vice president kamala harris cast that tie breaking vote on sunday the progressive group move on was on the campaign stage. she wanted to go to the heart of the fight. >> we're seeing races once hard to wen for democrats now in our favor. so we're going to ride the momentum we're going to continue to talk to voters and do the hard work it takes to encourage people to go out and vote because our rights and freedoms are on the line this cycle. >> reporter: but the opposition has been mobilizing, too the arizona chamber of commerce secured some last minute changes in the bill after the ceo got on his phone with home state senator kyrsten sinema with those negotiations ultimately he says he doesn't think the bill will reduce inflation and democrats are going to have to answer at the polls. >> when you're living pay to paycheck and rent h

in fact at a certain point the polls go to the americans and say we need you to sign an mou guaranteeing the certain level of treatment of these people. well you do so in the americans do the cia declines. so this goes on up until the point that college sheikh mohammed believed to be the architect of the 9/11 disaster is is caught in pakistan and brought to poland and the poll say he's the final one and he's then waterboarded some odd 183 times while he's in poland. he's ultimately taken out in the polls feel relieved that look this this issue is gone. then cia officers leak about this issue and while it's a wonderful thing that it appeared in the western press so we could learn what the cia was doing for poland. it was an extraordinarily difficult moment. they were kind of they felt left holding the bag kind of abandoned by the cia and punished for the fact that they were more zipped up than the cia then nonetheless even after this in broglio when the fact of the polls lost significant trust in the agency the polls continue to work for the cia both in iran and in north korea being invol

vajjhala: this is an enor mous problems and it is one where there are not obvious solutions and we need better information on how to help communities protect themselves and where we can take measures to ensure there are smooth transitions for areas that are at the greatest risk and to make sure that we do not leave people behind. many, many people, especially older homeowners, the majority of their wealth is locked up in their homes. and in the absence of solutions that address both the physical and the financial risks, we are going to leave individual communities to suffer. i think this is an area for incredible innovation around infrastructure but also work with the insurance industry to make sure we are dealing with both the physical and financial risks. sen. reed: once again, for major insurance companies that have extensive coverage of oceanfront properties, this financial risk is obvious right now and should be acknowledged and disclosed by the companies? would that be appropriate? dr. vajjhala: yes it should. sen. brown: senator cramer from north dakota is recognized. senator cra

we hope that the united nations can, in accordance with its mou with russia help address the chillingffect caused by relevant countries abusive sanctions and ensure the stable and smooth running of the global industrial chain and supply chain. these are challenging times for developing countries. cutting oda will only make things worse. developing countries should -- developed countries should face up to the humanitarian impacts of these cuts and adopt responsible policies and measures. there is a need to leave an exit ramp for diplomatic solutions. peace can never be achieved by imposing sanctions and pressure. peace must be maintained by all parties working together. no matter how complex the situation is common how serious the differences are, the door to diplomacy and dialogue cannot be closed. the positive progress on the issue of grain export shows us the potential of diplomacy as the possibility of a political solution. we hope russia and ukraine continue the dialogue between them so as to return to diplomatic negotiations at an early date and create momentum and conditions nee
