mr. miller owns a successful gay bar called truck. i previously passed out to use some letters of support from people like the mission creek neighborhood association, aids emergency fund, the mission merchants association, etc. i will get right to the point -- neighborhood outrage. i have institutional memory. i remember there was hostility about the after hours permit that was granted to the triple crown a year and a half ago. i asked ms. kane if i could have copies of all the letters and correspondence in the file. it pretty much was about two- thirds positive and one third-. but there was quite a bunch of stuff. -- and one-third negative. i went and called everybody on the anti list to enlist their support, meeting with us and coming up with good neighbor policies so we could eliminate any problems that might have arisen. specifically, i spoke to the brady neighborhood groups, which is braun when bailey -- bronwen bailey. i emailed lynn valencia, and the neighbors part of that campaign. she has not gone back to me. ms. bailey lives

i don't know if miss miller wants to follow up. >> thank you, mr. campbell. miss miller, anything to add to mr. campbell's presentation? >> i just want to add kind of the next steps and a couple of clarifying points. the next steps would be for mr. campbell to go to the sfpuc commission and seek authorization to begin negotiations. and those negotiations, what mike has been talking about, is the flexibility in some of the terms for our original c.c.a. implementation plan and those are in the four key areas that are potential to phase as opposed all in when we start the program. the only on obviously we're going to negotiate the rates and our original goal would meet or beat -- that's still our goal but based on what we've seen from these bidders, we h from these bidders, we have some negotiating to do in terms of that and there's some flexibility that we talked about in our last r.f. narks we would have flexibility in that area as well. the third is the risk allocation . obviously, if you go all in, it's very risky. if you phase, let's risk. there will be risk

mr. miller, thank you very much. let me make this -- >> i think we need you to punch your mike once. >> yes? >> there you go. >> thank you, mr. miller. thank you each and every one of you for being here. thank you as some of my colleagues said, for having the courage to tell your story. there are hundreds and thousands and millions of our citizens will never have an opportunity to come here and tell their stories. i want to thank you. you've been very moving. and i wish america could hear you. not just our colleagues in the congress. i happen to believe that health care is a right, and not a privilege. and all of our citizens should have quality health care. there's some people that want to take us back to another period, to another time. but with this law, and i don't need to tell any of you this, we have come so far, and we cannot go back. so continue to speak up and speak out, and tell your story. i don't think any of us want to live in a country that discriminates against people when it comes to health care. i wa

mr. miller was driving it on the highways in arkansas, it was not inside his home. the reason the supreme court told the district of columbia that they had to issue heller a license to carry his gun in the home is because that's the only kind of license for which he applied. d.c. law had essentially two different licensing requirements. there was a license to carry publicly, and if you carried publicly, without the benefit of a license, that was a felony conviction. if you carried inside your own home without the benefit of a license, that was a misdemeanor. we challenged that law, and because we challenged the carrying in the home law, that's the way the language of that came out. and of course, washington immediately repealed the carrying in the home licensing requirement. now, as far as the question raised by the questioner, the supreme court has a long tradition of requiring that in prior restraint cases, the licensing of the exercise of a fundamental right not be left to the unfettered discretion of a licensing official. we need clear standards, objective stand

mrs. miller: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, we have a spending problem here in the congress of the united states. we know it, all the members here know it, certainly the american people know it as well. over the past few years, we have run deficits of over $1 trillion each year and we've driven our national debt to over $14 trillion. on november 2, 2010, the american people spoke out in a very loud an clear voice, stop the reckless spending. the republican majority elected on november 2 heard the call of the american people and we will start the spending cuts today by cutting our own budget by 5%. since my election to congress, i've always tried to be a good steward of the money appropriated to my budget, to serve my constituents. in the last congress, i returned actually about 11% of the money that was allotted, in twine, i returned nearly 8% to the treasury and in 2010, i expect that return to about -- almost 14%. i'm sure many members can make similar claims here. a cut of 5% for members for leadership offices, for

mr. miller: we stood far too long with the undemocratic ben ali, the president of tunisia. and it's time that we stand as the president has said with the people of tunisia now and support their democratic aspirations. the u.s. gets another chance to stand with the democratic aspirations of another people, the people of egypt -- egypt, against the autocratic, dicta torl and undemocratic leadership of hue barrack. for too long the u.s. has stood against the people of egypt who are seeking a more democratic government and country. every election has been rigged by the mubarak government and the state emergency power has been extended so people could be rounded up so his viable opponents could be thrown into jail and political parties would be outlawed. the time has come to stop this, the time is for the united states to tell the mubarak government that this election has to be free and open. the soul purpose of the election cannot be to pass on a great country to the son of the current leader in spite of the democratic aspirations of the egyptian people. the speaker pro tempore
