so, mr. keith, perhaps we can hear your views on the procedural memo that the commission has put together and what was set forth therein. >> thank you, commissioner. the mayor's goal in these proceedings is to make sure they are fair proceedings in which the commission is going to have an opportunity, and the public is going to have an opportunity to hear all the evidence which is relevant to a determination of official misconduct in this matter. and we have made our proposals in that spirit, and there was a memo in that spirit. one thing that has become clear over the past week with regard to the sheriff's public statement and the various media outlets is that the determinations that the commission is going to make here and the recommendation that they are going to move forward to the board of supervisors is going to involve the resolution of credibility disputes, going to involve hostile witnesses, is going to involve a lot of witnesses who do not work for the city and so cannot be compelled to s

commissioner liu: mr. keith, there are several factual allegations, so is it your view that we would have to find these allegations to be true in order to sustain a charge of official misconduct >> the commission, number one, would make a recommendation. the charter does not specify whether there can be multiple recommendations or a majority and a dissent. it does not prohibit that. my assumption is that the commission would make findings of fact. where there are credibility disputes, it would make credibility findings, and then as to each charge, if any of the charges is sustained, the official misconduct has occurred, and that is ultimately a decision for the board of supervisors to make, and we would envision the ethics commission making a finding as to each charge. commissioner liu: the allegations in the complaint or the charging document, would we have to resolve any credibility issues in your favor and fight the allegations to be true in order to recommend that a charge of official misconduct is sustained

mr. keith, i think we probably have some follow-up for you, as well. following mr. renne's line, do you have any objection of providing the information that was outlined? >> no. chair hur: how soon could you do that? >> we could write a one or two- line summary. there are some witnesses that we are still finalizing, those individuals will be, but once we get them, we would be happy to provide those. we have not been asked. commissioner renne: 1 or 2 descendants is, what does that mean? it has to be detailed enough so they understand the thrust of the testimony. >> oh, it will be. >> -- chair hur: how soon? >> as for the back witnesses, we could supply that with in one week. chair hur: and as for the police procedure witnesses? >> i would say about two weeks. one point that i would like to -- chair hur: as far as the legal issues, when could you have those briefed? same time >> let me think for a moment. yes, we could brief the legal issues, i would say, and the ones that we referenced before we could read immediately, meeting the standard of proof and the procedures

. >> mr. keith, the burden of submitting a declaration at the pails to the board and of actually having to testify in a proceeding like this, so if anybody can submit a declaration and not have to testify, i think they would agree that the board is much less than having to testify. >> i agree. if we think it would end at the declaration where there is uncontroversial, we have no problem submitting just declarations for those witnesses. chair hur: does the mayor dispute that he has the burden of proof here? >> no. chair hur: what about timing? when would you anticipate being ready to call witnesses if live testimony were permitted? >> well, that depends on a lot of the proceedings that are going on right now. as we detailed in our memo, there are several instances of hostile witnesses and and lack of cooperation on the part of the sheriff, using the mayor subpoena power to go to court to get orders for people to comply with subpoenas and also to go to court to get an order to release evidence, crimin

i just want to make sure mr. keith can understand our position, because we want to have an opportunity for him to respond, but i think we set it forth now adequately in the letter, because when you investigate, a complaint has to be brought to the commission, and the commission decides whether it will be brought to the commission. i thing we set forth the legal issues sufficiently pure good i want to make sure council can respond. >> what i understand is that it was a request for a legal opinion that was more inquisitive than stating a position, but we are happy to state our position on whether the procedures need to happen before the city attorney can investigate possible misconduct. good >> you have any thoughts procedure wireless -- procedurewise. what is the commission's role? >> the opinion comes from the commissioners. they can act on their behalf and make a judgment accordingly. >> would the staff to provide a memo of some sort? >> no, that is counsel. gooi did try to identify the provision that says in a person

now, i did want to address one point that mr. keith may. we do not intend to argue that these proceedings need to be private. indeed, we think they should be public because i think at the end of the day, there is a lot of innuendo and talk about the share dissuading people. the mayor's written charges say that he may have tried to dissuade a witness, and i want to mark my words. when all of this is said and done, it will be crystal clear that the sure did no such thing, and we want that to be clear to the people of san francisco. hiair -- chair hur: let me stop you there. so there is no dispute that the penal code section should not apply? >> correct. now, with respect to briefing schedules prior to the taking of testimony, whether it is with a declaration or live witnesses, i could answer almost all of the questions that the commission raised in the memo right here. i can tell you what we think the burden of proof should be. i can tell you what evidence we think you should rely on and go all of the way down the list if you would like me to

mr. murdoch. >> keith rupert murdoch. >> >> reporter: does this procedure testimony? >> as i said to a number of other witnesses, i am very grateful for the obvious care that you have taken in preparation of your evidence and the material you placed before the inquiry and i want to record that. >> thank you. you are the chairman and chief executive officer of news corp. company incorporated in the united states. total assets, $60 billion, approximately 8% of news corp. revenues generated in the united kingdom, 60% by news international. >> correct. >> if anyone wants greater detail look to your witness statements published in due course. would it be fair to said that you have been following british politics for 50 years? >> i suppose so. with varying intensity. >> you say you welcome this inquiry. it follows that rumors that you have not forgiven mr. cameron for setting up are untrue? is that right? >> did i say that? in my witness statement? >> use it in your witness statement you welcome this. according to rumors the personal which are presumably and true, you have

pleased to be here today with general keith alexander, cyberrer commands commander, and cyber is a critical component of the global capabilities. without question, mr, we continue to face a very challenging global security environment marked by change, complexity, and profound uncertainty. indeed, change and surprise characterized the year that has passed since my last appearance before this committee. over that time, the men and women of strategic command participated in support of operations in libya and japan, have supported the withdrawal of u.s. combat forces from iraq, and have observed the arab spring, the bold operation that killed bin laden, the death of kim jong il, and the succession of his son, and growing violence with tensions in iran, the adoption of new defense strategic guidance. through the extraordinary period of change, the focus has been constant. to partner with the other combat and commands to detour, protect, and prevent attacks on the united states, our allies, and partner, and to be prepared to employ force as needed in part of the national security objecteddives. our priorities are clear. detour, attack, partner with the
