mr. sherman. i want to emphasize that granting jurisdiction in this matter will result in the complete cessation of all remediation work at the nine- unit structure, including six units that are currently vacant where we mediation has already occurred. in addition, there is a tenant who has already left the building with the anticipation of coming back within three months, and it jurisdiction is granted on behalf of this gentleman, but tended to has just left, his plans will be interrupted, as well. important, mr. o'sullivan has reached out repeatedly to mr. mooring without success. there has been no underhanded or malfeasance in our conduct. there was a termination notice. he has, pursuant to san francisco rent control law, the absolute right to return. he will be given, as long as the timely vacate and is consistent with the rent ordinance, $8,500 to transition out temporarily. the notice was attached, and most importantly, he has the right to come back in at you read that he is paying right now. the big issue is that mr. moo ring is being obstinate, and he does not want to temporarily relocate.

mrs. kennedy. it was not that common for women to wear sleeveless attire in those days to a formal event. and now we take that for granted come and mrs. obama has bought the sleeveless dress back into vogue. but it is jackie kennedy who does that at the beginning.
