mr. hunter sfloo >> mr. chairman, thank you. this amendment would support secretary carter's directive to the navy to reduce the total number of lcfs to 40 by downselecting to one variant, getting two for the price of one is usually a good thing. getting one for the price of two is not. yet for some reason, we are paying for two variants of the lcs to conduct the same exact missions. this defies common sense and has resulted in two totally different ship types, each requiring their own supply chain and crude training programs. you would think that producing two variants would improve the odds at least one of the options would achieve its intended objective, but even that's not true. these ships are more expensive than originally planned, have taken longer to develop, are unreliable, lightly armored and have limited offensive capabilities. if the goal is to make this program more efficient, then we should downselect one variant of the lcs, as secretary carter has suggested. in fact, he makes the point that by downselecting to one

mr. hunter one of the points i'll ask is from my understanding even the economical yellow zones and the whiteones can be installed replacing meter spacious am i correct? >> yes, and is there an approach to talk to some of the merchant about taking away some of their zoning district to put in the white. >> the parking lot is part of progress so we've identified excuse me. some of the general meter spaces are remembered with the commercial loading spaces the 46 spaces i want to be clear i believe i heard tom mention 42 percent of parking that is alarming we're retaining offer 95 percent of parking on the corridor and cross streets just to be clear the 46 of over one thousand. >> 46 over one thousand i think for me some of the things i want to make sure we're communicated when staff goes out to talk to the community and what have you do you folks have they heard some the opponents heard about the racial behind making service faster and more efficient so that is reduced the cost of operations reduces traffic time and gets people out of cars, freeze up parking spaces so people can actually have a

mr. walker was saying about hunters point. i saw the article, i mean the program on the news. he is right. now the city gave the contractor $300 million to clean up the shipyard, and here you have one of the workers saying that they dumped the stuff -- you know, they took clean dirt from one place and put it where the dirty dirt was. so i mean, it seems like you should have some sort of compliance officers or somebody that lives in hunters point, who could be affected by that to be part of the clean-up? because with the jobs, black people are having a hard time in san francisco. so i really want the board to really pay attention to even your own newscast, look at it and you will find out a lot of stuff, if you don't know it already. but we got to do something. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> supervisors, i think public comment should be held right at the beginning. so that the people speak and leave, because you are all boring, i repeat you are all boring. i heard one supervisor say when charlie walker was saying whatever he was saying, that you know, oh, you

mr. speaker. from our nation's farmers to andlers and hunters and those who love the outdoors, there are endless benefits. the 2014 farm bill provides substantial opportunities for agricultural conservation. this includes initiatives such as the conserves reserve program, and the conservation stewardship program, just to name a few. these programs are essential to assisting land owners to implement best management practices while improving water quality. the farm bill and the committee have worked to promote well managed forests. our nation's forests are economic engines and providing resources for our nation. our forests deliver significant benefits because they are national water filters. with earth day last friday, i think it's time to recognize the conservation work going on in our communities and our committee and the importance of managed land and water. with that in mind it continues to manage stewardships. thank you, mr. speaker. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous conse
