mr. mcdonnell: again, we don't need an exhaustive list. it is actually even under 1%. all of that said, any objection to candlestick? silver terrace, a little hollywood, candlestick, spelled correctly -- mr. pilpel: out include civista valley. sorry. -- i would include at vista valid. sorry. mr. mcdonnell: any objection to the list as presented here? mr. pilpel: yes. mr. mcdonnell: ok. go ahead. mr. pilpel: ok. what are you proposing it is in? mr. mcdonnell: propose what you want, it does not matter. mr. pilpel: silver terrace, candlestick, the central waterfront/dog patch, showplace square. mr. mcdonnell: any objection? it ms. tidwell: yes. i was attempting to be helpful by adding neighborhoods. with 16th street, i don't think we have included potrero, and the ones we have highlighted with issues. mr. mcdonnell: okay, that is what objection. ok, list them off. one more time. >> silver terrace, a little hollywood, candlestick. ms. tidwell: isn't candlestick -- isn't that an institution? >> i think there is a candlestick neighborhood. ms. tidwell: you think, or there is?

mr. perotthey -- an italian bidder. what truth is there behind that story? did you speak to mr.lair on the seventeenth of march 1998 and asked him to speak to mr. r proudy to say he shouldn't interfere? >> no. i had access to mr. proudy and talked about it. we wanted to get rid of it. and we had negotiations and asked him what to do. and he said an italian better -- it was a friendly conversation. i would not say he agreed to anything but i knew him slightly. i may well have spoken to mr. blair separately and how do you think of british industry is going to get on? >> you didn't ask mr. blair to haul mr. proudy up? >> no. >> you couldn't have said anything to give mr. blair that impression to give him to being on his bar? >> endeavoi never asked blair f favors. >> mr. blair said you would think about it but the phone call came from proudy to blair asking the other way around in mr. campbell's diary.

mr. mcdonnell: there is no need to create an exhaustive list. mr. pilpel: ok. all right. mr. mcdonnell: any other additions? moving then to d 9. mr. pilpel: i would suggest vernal heights. mr. mcdonnell: objections? >> i will turn this over to the consultant. >> there is no publicly cemented neighborhood boundary. -- publicly submitted neighborhood boundaries. it is split in the department of elections. >> i am willing to call it north and south. it is in district 9. mr. mcdonnell: jamie? >> looking at the -- is this planning more elections? looking at the planning department map, the corners

mr. mcdonnell: there is no need to create an exhaustive list. mr. pilpel: ok. all right. mr. mcdonnell: any other additions? moving then to d 9. mr. pilpel: i would suggest vernal heights. mr. mcdonnell: objections? >> i will turn this over to the consultant. >> there is no publicly cemented neighborhood boundary. -- publicly submitted neighborhood boundaries. it is split in the department of elections. >> i am willing to call it north and south. it is in district 9. mr. mcdonnell: jamie? >> looking at the -- is this planning more elections? looking at the planning department map, the corners have been moved into district 8. that is the this is the area between cesar chavez and south of randall, between mission and san jose avenue. that is just according to the planning. mr. mcdonnell: ok. so we have one neighborhood list aed. anyone else. all right, moving into district 10. again, the note on the consultants listing gets eliminated, but and the reference to san francisco general hospital eliminated, therefore we have silver terrace, this the valley, the or hollywood, bay vie

mr. chairman, it gives an out. this law makes exceptions to law enforcement to make reasonable decisions based on the circumstances at the time. i suspect, and again, i think it's demeaning to law enforcement to assume they don't know how to do their job in a respectable, proper way. >> i want to go to demeaning to law enforcement, because -- yeah, i'm just going to submit for the record section 3b, and it doesn't list any exceptions at all. >> mr. chairman, it's modeled after federal law. >> okay. well, but there are no exceptions here. i don't believe federal law is based -- i don't believe this is consonant with federal law. >> yes, sir -- >> let me go -- >> it is with federal law, mr. chairman. >> let's go to demeaning police. doesn't your law permit any citizen of arizona to sue any police department or any individual police officer who refuses to ask for immigration documents during a stop? >> mr. chairman, let me correct you. it does not allow them to sue any individual law enforcement officer when they use

because i have an e-mail, mr. miller, from a man who appears to be your deputy, mr. ericson, who on may 3, 2011, did issue the interim report and said, here i'm quoting, our purpose in issuing the interim report was to alert gsa to potential waste and abuse so gsa could take steps to avoid future issues. please be advised that the investigation is an going and no personnel action should be taken until you have received the final report. now, with respect to some notion that maybe the officers of the agency or even the administration should have taken action. is it your view that personnel action could not have been taken until april when the final report was released? or had become known? >> representative norton, i believe the e-mail is dated july 25, 2011. >> it is. but it says on may 3rd. >> well, we gave the interim report on may 3rd to miss johnson and the deputy administrator susan brita. on may 17th, we personally briefed the administrator. and in july 25 -- again, there's the second report. the second report -- >> when was the final report alluded to in this

mrs. bush holding an aids baby. now, have you to remember at that time for a lot of people didn't understand that you could hold a baby, hug a child with aids and that it wouldn't -- you wouldn't catch it, but there was this stereotype, so mrs. bush in her role went out to grandma's house in washington, d.c., and, unfortunately, that poor guy only lasted another couple of weeks. broccoli, yeah. now, someone we all know and love happened to mention that he didn't like broccoli so the mother of america had to go out there and reassure all the children that broccoli is good and good for you. and you'll notice that she did that with the oval office right in the background which i thought was pretty cheeky. after the election president bush was honored at an armed -- by the armed services at a salute at ft. myers, and it was an incredibly moving event. there wasn't a dry eye anywhere to include miraculously the press that was -- that had tears running down their eyes. but then life takes funny turns, and we have governor

mrs. bush holding an aids baby. you have to remember a lot of people didn't understand you could hold a baby, hug a child with aids and you wouldn't catch it. that there was a stereo yn type. unfortunately that poor guy only lasted another couple of weeks. now someone we all know and love. happened to mention she didn't like broccoli. the mother of all america reassured the children that broccoli is good and good for you. she did it with the oval office in the background. which i thought was pretty cheeky. after the election, president bush was honored by the armed services at a salute at ft. myers. it was incredibly moving event. there wasn't a dry eye anywhere to include the press that had tears running down their eyes. but then life takes funny turns. we have governor bush and governor bush and president bush and who knows the guy in the background, what he's going to add to it. and life goes on. this is after the election at kenny bunk port. the president is going off to work. which brings me back to the speech

mr. duffy, what authorities does the cftc have to protect customer segregated accounts at a futures commission merchant during an emergency situation? mr. duffy, you first. >> first and foremost, we make sure they're in segregated compliance. and these are reports we were getting -- >> that will be answered again for the record -- >> sorry? >> what did you say? they should be segregated? >> we get segregated reports from mf global, as we were getting them all along on a daily basis since they were acquired. they were on a daily seg report voluntarily anyway. we were getting these reports on a daily basis through a day lag and you've got to time them over several day periods. these are some of the things we do to have authorities to make sure they're in compliance. if they go out of compliance of segregation it's a violation of cme's rules and cftc's rules. >> were some of those reports you were getting, as you look back, were they misleading or were they a little more than that? or what? >> the latter, sir. they were a little more than that. we were told on one report given to us on a thursday that they had $200

mrs. hoover, wrote to walter newton, an important aide to the president for advice. she explained the question arises to what can be done about the family of our new colored representative. mrs. hoover wishes for me to ask for your suggestion and remind you we must not only think of this occasion but what is to be done during the entire term of the representative. no doubt mrs. hoover and her staff considered the public outcry over president teddy roosevelt's invitation to booker t. washington to the white house in 1901. so it was decided that rather than having one large tea for everyone, first lady hoover would have several teas. they had five in all. at the first four, there were approximately 180 to 200 persons in attendance. then the final tea of 15 persons was the one in which mrs. de priest was invited. there were several different lists of drafts of guests who were to come, and the final shows mrs. hoover's sister, jean hoover large, her secretaries, supporters of her husband's from different parts of -- different representatives. an invitation was sent to mrs

>> i think the selection of an editor, mr. jay, is not simply around political views of an editor one way or another, it's the ability of the editor, perhaps, to lead the newsroom, it's the ability of the editor to make judgments about what to put in the paper every day primarily, the ability of the editor to be thoughtful about his or her readers and how they react to what goes in the paper. it is not simply a political exercise. >> was there any size of the decision-making relation to mr. mohan's appointment based on this; that you felt he understood what you and your father wanted in particular in relation to political lines to take at election time? >> it was not really on my concerns. he would be reporting to mrs. brooks who had taken over as chief executive, and he was her strong recommendation. and well respected, and i thought it was a good idea. >> you knew what mrs. brooks' position was on matters in europe, didn't you? >> yes. >> and presumably, you could trust her to recommend someone who might be in the same place,

mr. levin: yield an additional 15 seconds. mr. crowley: democrats worked hard in the majority to end the practice of incentivizing offshoring u.s. jobs in the tax code. we closed a number of loopholes and reinvested the revenue into initiatives focused on creating u.s. jobs and assisting america's small businesses. defeat this bill. it is immoral. we should not be spending u.s. tax dollars in this way. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virginia. mr. cantor: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself 30 seconds just to respond to the gentleman. i think he put his finger on the problem here. the problem with his kind of amendment is the problem with the tax code today. because it means that if you are a business, under his rule, you'd have to come to washington to seek eligibility for a tax break. or seek eligibility for a tax favor. if you are on the approved list in washington, then you can go and benefit and have an advantage over others. that's not what

mr. tan region -- with district ten. it should not be split. the clinics and hospitals are an integral part. they draw their patient days from all areas, but the mission is the most overwhelmingly represented. i strongly urge you to keep this community together. i am pleased supervisor cohen has reiterated that it remain together in district 10. i am going to be handing these are round. good on the bottom is the population deviation. it is 73,000, which is exactly -- >> any additional speakers for public comment on this agenda item? we will take a 10-minute break and return of >> thank you. thank you to the members of the public for providing it your testimony and public input to the current draft map, and at this time if i could have mr. lee, we are going to approach mapping and what we may or may not decide to do moving forward with this particular agenda item. in the past when we have not had all nine members of the task force, we have had to consider if we would do line drawing. chrir mcdonald said he would ask they consider not drawing lines tonight, so i wanted to invite taskforce memb

in an attempt to justify his mf global recusal, mr. ginsler stated that he did not want his rip with mf global ceo jon corzine "to be a distraction." did mr. ginsler, chairman ginsler, ever express any concern that his relationship with mr. corzine would be a distraction from any previous matter involving mf global, including matters related to cftc rule 125 dealing with investment of customer-segregated funds? >> not that i'm aware of. >> you don't recall? >> no. >> have you searched your records and your e-mails and everything else? >> we have. >> okay. mr. ginsler also stated that, and i'll quote him, he will not participate in any enforcement-related matters involving mf global and any matter directly related thereto. those are his words. this language appears, from reading it, to prohibit him from participating in any of the cftc's efforts to develop recommendations based on lessons learned from the collapse of the mf global. do you agree or disagree? >> senator, we -- my staff -- >> in other words, he can't have it both ways. he'

mr. chairman, it gives an out. this law makes exceptions to law enforcement to make reasonable decisions based on the circumstances at the time. i suspect, and again, i think it's demeaning to law enforcement to assume they don't know how to do their job in a respectable, proper way. >> i want to go to demeaning to law enforcement, because -- yeah, i'm just going to submit for the record section 3b, and it doesn't list any exceptions at all. >> mr. chairman, it's modeled after federal law. >> okay. well, but there are no exceptions here.

mr. chairman, i'll make an attempt to do that. had i been here, i would have supported the so-called dream act now. i supported immigration reform that is orderly, safe, and legal and does create a pathway, not amnesty, a pathway. there are numerous examples here of people -- i serve on the arizona board of regents. we govern the three universities' eight appointed members. we have constantly had the problem of these people coming to their presidents and some of them petitioning members of the board of regents to grant them some kind of exemption. some way to stay in school. and our legislature put forward legislation that says they had to pay out of state tuition if they're going to stay here and they're not deported under sb-1070. it has caused immense pain and suffering in the latino community. i know many of them. and, you know, as long as we're on the subject matter, my distinguished colleague former senator pearce will tell you it is not profiling. it is profiling. police officers tell you that, that they feel it's profiling

mr. chairman, amendment at the desk -- i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 2 printed in house report 112-446 offered by mr. ribble of wisconsin. the chair: pursuant to the house resolution 619, the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. ribble, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. ribble: thank you, mr. chairman. the folders that i'm holding here represent our dysfunctional federal bureaucracy. they provide a stark example of the burdensome red tape that a wisconsin business must go through just to get an approval on a single project. mr. chairman, in this folder is when the county controls a project. this folder is when the state controls the project. mr. chairman, this folder is when the federal government controls the project. while these examples aren't specifically for a highway project, they're emblematic of what our federal government imposes on northern wisconsin and across the nafplgtse my amendment today will smo

mr. tan, an -- about district 10, and i would like to reconsider, because we did not have this kind of feedback from the community, and i know this is the last day for recommending changes, but i want to put it on the table but the decision we make is going to affect the community, so i want this to be more thoughtful, and they think out our decisions. i do not want us to be tied to our decisions. i want us to be open and flexible as we near the deadline. i just wanted to comment on what we earlier stated. >> today is the last date for decisions. we are still open to public commentary did you have perspective? >> one is in terms of where we are in the process, i agree with a couple of my colleagues who have said we should be open- minded but we should take the possibility seriously. i agree we have been on a track that depends on the placement of the neighborhood, but i do not think we have run out of time to consider another option, so i think we should think that through, and the last meeting may be coming on the last opportunity to entertain proposals like that and all the dominoes that woul

mr. andrew niels said in an interview he gave to cnn and just your reaction, please, mr. murdoch, said this, of course rupert murdoch can't be held responsible for every individual act just as when i was editor of the sunday times i couldn't be held responsible for every individual act that my tens of scores of journalists would take. you create a climate in which people think it is all right to do certain things and i would argue that rupert murdoch with his take no prisoners attitude to tabloid journalism, the end will justify the means, do whatever it takes, that created the kind of newsroom climate in which hacking and other things were done with imp u.n. ity on an industrial scale. >> i don't think he knows the first thing he was talking about. i would say at the beginning of that quote that i may not be able to know what every journalist is writing, but it is certainly the duty of the editor to take responsibility for every word in his newspaper. it is harder for someone the chairman of the company of a lot of newspapers. that's by the way explanation, not excuse. >

what an honor it must be for those children to perform for mr.bennett today, paying tribute to his great legacy. something they will never forget, i'm sure. we have many others who wanted to pay tribute to you, mr. bennett, an expression of their love for you and for san francisco. i like to read to you just such an expression. this is a letter inspired by you and your song, the winning entry in the love letter to san francisco contest, sponsored by sf travel. if i may -- "dear sf -- can i call you sf? i remember the first time i was in your presence. age nine. even on your surface, you enchanted me and i never quite recovered. i did not truly fall in love until i spent my 22nd birthday with you. i explore the depths of chinatown. i toured the rock and froze my but off at a giants game in june. i was hooked. unfortunately, i had plans. plans with that boy in missouri, but how i was wrong to leave you. when i found out he was cheating, i ran to you and you took me in without asking questions. i packed my bags and never looked back. every day, i lo

in dan tank lee knee and i can say from my own personal experience that it was an appointment made for this situation. mr. tanklyny has been the administrator for the district of columbia. he's done the same thing at metro. here's an administrator not only with impeccable management skills but also impeccable ethics. but you see what you have laid out for you to do. i have one question about these conferences. we are focusing on tell working and we're having finally some progress in getting tell working. i don't know about teleconferencing. i do want to say this also for the record. as somebody who manages people right now in the congress and managed much r more people in propositions in my life, i value what face to face meetings can do. my own staff is in the same city, but the district office staff and there are two district offices and the congressional office staff don't have face to face meetings that often but they have telephone meetings and of course, it's a much smaller staff than you would have in an agency. they have telephone meetings every monday morning. i don't know enough about the value

mr. pistole an e-mail that said when mr. mica is going to be there so when he asks the question, mr. pist pistol, take a long time answering it so you eat up his time. the problem is that, again, sometimes you think it's the gang that can't shoot straight but they shot e-mail to cq, i think that was the publication. to again reserving my time, if you would answer fairly briefly, not use the directive of that memo. one of my concerns of course is that transportation worker identification card. we spent over a half a billion dollars, is that correct, yes or no, mr. mclaughlin. >> i'll take that one. >> 511 million. >> to date on the program itself, we've expended basically $374 million. >> i have $511. >> you may be including grants in that. i'd have to check that. >> we wouldn't want to leave -- i mean, consider that as an expenditure, money spent. well, we'll say in the neighborhood of a half a billion. and the card is supposed to allow us to identify who goes into our ports. we passed the law setting that requirement up back after 2001, right? mr. sadler? >> that was i believe that

mr. miller an opportunity to respond to some of that. >> thank you, mr. towns. >> also mr. white very quickly. >> thank you. thank you. >> there's a whole batch that was wrapped noof general george's comments. a few things i'd like to clarify. one, our national research program that comes up with the tax gap is also used on an annual basis to improve our filters. so it has a benefit to us to do these things, to improve our selection process. because we have a living process that filters back in the results so that we can target better our are noncompliance. there's no doubt that we can improve and we are improving on an annual basis. other things i'll mention, the queue in the collection area exists. no question about that. cases go to the queue when they are lower priority than other cases. other cases can be a higher priority, one, because we think they're better dollar kaz or two, because we don't have the resources to reach them at this point. we are doing a better job of selecting cases for collection. it's not first in, first out. i want to make that will very clear.

mr. woodall: i have an amendment at the desk. the clerk: amendment number 2 frinted in house report 112-454 offered by mr. woodall of georgia. the chair: the gentleman from georgia, mr. woodall, and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia. mr. woodall: my amendment is a simple amendment. what we're doing here in this bill today to the great credit of the chairman and ranking member is instituting a voluntary system by which our private companies and utilities can cooperate in the name of securing america's cyber space. but what happens so often is when the federal government creates a voluntary standard, those folks who choose not to play are subject to new liabilities because they rejected that voluntary standard. if it is going to be a truly voluntary standard we have to be sure those who reject it are not held to any new liabilities. that was the intent of the committee when they crafted that legislation. my amendment makes it clear that new -- no new liabilities arise th

mr. levin for the purposes of an opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome. thank you for coming. today's hearing is this committee's commercial examination of what tax reform might mean for a very specific set of tax provisions, those designed to promote retirement savings. tax preferred retirement savings have benefited tens of millions of american families. the estimates of exactly how many vary, but most find that 40% to 50% of all workers are covered by an employer sponsored retirement plan, some 60 million to 70 million people. employer-sponsored plans including defined contribution and defined benefit plans, private and public sector, hold assets of $9.3 trillion held that amount as of the end of last year, and an additional 49 million households hold $4.7 trillion in iras. the tax preferred retirement system is voluntary. employers are not required to offer retirement plans. but i think we'll hear today that employers basically understand the current system, and that it works for them in terms of allowing them to offer retirement benefits to their wor

mrs. johnson was just an adventurer. when you came in to see her, she always wanted to know what you were doing. what was new with you. what was the latest. and when she traveled, she always had these little spiral notebooks about like this and she kept them in her purse with a ball point pen and she would keep notes of where she was going and what she was seeing. and she took shorthand. and so fortunately i read shorthand. not as neatly as she did so i could read some of these notes that she had. but she -- we had flown -- when lbj was vice president, we had flown from the u.s. to the mediterranean. had flown the length of the mediterranean and landed in beirut and had just walked into the hotel room, which was supposed to be a rest stop before they went to iran and turkey and italy and lebanon, of course. and mrs. johnson was on the phone as i come into the room. she said can you get a car and let's go to ballbeck. i said what is ballbeck? i said it's supposed to be a rest stop. and she said, i may never get here again
