mr. johnson referred the current nexus study do not take into account g f a with off-street parking to change the basis of oozing how those fees are calculated would facility a new nixon nexus study to effected parties this ordinance didn't mention the impact fees will again be another conversation we talked it will be the time of the publication i received public comments and have e-mailed copies in reference to the exemption for projects in the van ness su d and if i may conclude to answer commissioner moore's question about the 25 foot parking this is actually in place under planning code section 1 61 b an exemption for off street loading across the sidewalks the supervisors is going to ask for off-street parking as well in your packet as part of the page 6 ordinance on line 5 so if i'm understanding this ordinance correctly in the instance where there is property that sold access across a wide sidewalk at 25 feet with more the zoning administrator will be able to wave the off-street parking requirement like the loading requirement that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions.

mr. johnson. let me ask you before my time expires, is there any developing insurance coverage market for data breach? your banks have been, have a standard in place today. is there insurance that covers the consequences of a data breach? >> yes, there is. it's maturing market. we actually have a captive insurance company that offers some of those policies as well. i think that it's a market that needs further refinement though. we as an industry are looking at that very carefully in a number of different fashions and, in fact working with treasury and with the administration generally to try to figure out ways to improve the market and try to build insurance as a private incentive as opposed to building public incentives toward greater cybersecurity. >> thank you. senator blumenthal. >> thanks, mr. chairman. ms. madigan, again, thank you for being here. i want to follow up on a couple of questions that the chairman asked. you make the point that preemption has sometimes been narrow in our laws. i

mr. johnson. thank you, mr. duncan. thanks for the opportunity senator. i think one of the things when we have this conversation that we forget sometimes is the fact that the card market is really two different markets to some degree. it's the debit card market as well as the credit card market and debit cards have p.i.n.s. and so you've essentially got more than 50% of the card environment already that is p.i.n. enabled. but what we've learned from the credit side is the fact that both of the retail side as well as our customer behavior that in the credit environment our customers prefer to use the signature. if they want to be protected by a p.i.n. they can use their debit card. they have effective choice to be able to accomplish that. >> but i think what mr. duncan said is that you get more protection and certainly the situation that we saw with the home depot where the canadian cards were less valuable because they had that full technology, i can imagine everyone would like ease. it's just that if we know one technology protects better it seems we wou

mr. johnson, i gather you feel that production language that you -- used, that banks provide an effective basis for information gathering support. i think that may provide common ground. i invite the witnesses, i know mr. duncan, you may have been able to provide a full answer. i invite you to supplement your answer in writing, if you wish. i'd value your further comment. thank you mr. chairman. >> senator blumenthal, i would emphasize that gramm leach essentially guides us. it says you should, you ought to, something like that. that differs quite a bit from state laws that have a mandate and requirement. we would favor a mandate and requirement rather than something is merely pregnant or agmatic. >> senator klobuchar has exceeded her time. [laughter] integrate tradition ofintegrate tradition of in the great tradition of senators, that is what we do. i would like to establish a matrix of what i go into a reasonable standard. is there anyone on the panel that is concerned about congress pursuing a reasonable standard along the lines that have been outlined as opposed to a specific notifica

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. today i rise in opposition to h.r. 527, the small business regulatory flexibility improvements act. i oppose this legislation which would paralyze agency rule making through unworkable, complex requirements while aggrandizing the powers of the small business administration's office of advocacy with broad authority to act as the gatekeeper of our nation's regulatory system. h.r. 527 would allow for large regulated industries to manipulate the regulatory system in their favor while delaying or blocking critical safety guards to safeguard our nation's food supply, environment, and work force. that's why the american sustainable business council, a coalition of partner organizations representing over 200,000 businesses and more than 325,000 business professionals, oppose this legislation. this coalition notes that h.r. 3527 would -- h.r. 527 would erode, quote the operational compassibility of regulatory agencies to do their jobs, end quote. allowing for the largest firms to further domin

mr. johnson did you want to comment. >> legislative aid to supervisor breed are you suggesting there are other areas we want to look at grandfathering for current projects. >> not one we've done a lot of work where it's critical indeed the special van ness special district in the department off the top of my head has caused us and reminds us of others i'll appreciate but i can't think of others. >> okay. >> i will make sure we double check with planning staff in drafting that amendment. >> it should look positive and suggestive rather than vindictive and past the fact that's what i think we need 80 do. >> commissioner antonini. >> so i'll make another motion i'll support approval with moifktsdz presented bid staff and ask supervisor breed office to work with the gentleman to say if it's appropriate to include the suggestive legislation in regards to the project on van ness special use district. >> we don't need. >> - okay. what we're talking about. >> commissioner antonini if i understood your motion you're making a motion to approve with modifications but outside of the motion itself yo

mr. johnson? >> thank you mr. chairman. you know welcome, mr. secretary. as you know you are also serving as the managing trustee for social security. and i would like to if week -- we can get a quote on the screen. this is what obama had to say when he was first elected. what we have done is kicked this can down the road. we are at the end of the road and not in a position to kick it any further. we have to signal seriousness in this boy making sure the hard decisions are made under my watch. not someone else's. that is the president in january of 2009. you know we have to signal seriousness and my question to you is do you agree with what the president said then yes or no? >> you know, congressman, i think if you look at the condition of the social security trust fund is stronger and the president says we need to deal with the long-term problems bipartisan way. we have proposed a budget that will help social security. even the immigration policy would have the effect of lengthing the life of the social security trust fund. we think we have improved the c

mr. johnson: mr. speaker, my constituents and a majority of americans oppose president obama's executive amnesty. his amnesty is unconstitutional, which is why i'm pleased that the u.s. district court judge andrew hannon has blocked obama's amnesty from going into effect. not surprisingly, the administration is now appealing. as the legal process works its way through the courts, congress must continue to stand strong and fight the president's unlawful amnesty. just this month, i exposed obama's empty words that illegals getting amnesty would be paying taxes. you know, the i.r.s. commissioner confirmed that obama's amnesty will in fact allow the i.r.s. to give illegals thousands of dollars. these tax refunds aren't refunds in the usual sense but amnesty checks from the i.r.s. this is wrong. i'm working on legislation to stop it. law-abiding and hardworking american taxpayers deserve nothing less. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlel

mr. johnson's view. >> that's right and to answer question about why the employer can't disclose a policy that isn't a solution because that is asking employers to treat applicants differently based on stereotypes or assumptions about whether something is likely a religious practice. >> of it's going to be a requirement for the job doesn't the employer have an obligation to tell the employee with the job requirements are? >> title vii is not a civil servant statute that requires applicants or employees who violate workplace rules to be given a chance to explain themselves before adverse action is taken. >> this is what i don't understand the perspective this particular case. as i understand it abercrombie does not have a policy that the interviewee must comply with the policies. is that correct? >> the look policy policy itself does not require the interview. >> they would be no reason for not hiring the individual involved here unless you assumed she was going to wear scarf everyday. just because she were a headscarf on that one day doesn't mean she necessarily was going to wear it every
