mr. parkperhaps it's that you knew that there were serious problems prior to the launch, but you didn't convey them in your briefings with the president. they were ignored because of this, no matter what the consequences may be here we are a year later in an impression to the beginning of the second open enrollment with questions that still remain about this 2 million-dollar debacle that you are a credited with fixing and that i might add got hacked this summer and according to the recent accountability office report still has weaknesses as they see both in the process used for managing information security as well as the technical implementation of the security concerns. we look forward for this opportunity to ask you some of our questions. also now i ask unanimous consent to submit documents for the record which will be referenced in some of our questions. without objection, so ordered. before i yield to the ranking member ms. bernice johnson my friend from texas. they will come back to that

on october 10, mr. park read an online article by david kennedy, a white house hacker who has testified twice before this committee. mr. kennedy's article was entitled, "is the affordable care website secure? probably not". mr. park commented in an e-mail how he was advised that quote, these guys are on the level, end quote. we're asking mr. park to explain his role in developing the $2 billion website and what the administration knew about the security risk of the website. as of today, the white house still has failed to provide this committee with all the documents that are subject to the subpoena. the ones we do have paint a far different picture than that of the office of science and technology policy. as i mentioned, the committee has not received all the e-mails and other documents that were subject to the subpoena, so another hear beiing may well be necessary. i want to thank dr. paul brown for his tireless efforts on this subject as well as so many other subjects that have come before this sub commit

mr. parks, let's get to the evidence in this case. what do you think is the single biggest hole in officer wilson's testimony? what do you think is the strongest reason that that grand jury should have indicted him? >> well, chris, i believe the strongest reason is the reasonableness of his so-called fear as michael approached him. for what i can tell thus far, and in my investigation of this case, almost one of the gunshots michael received he could have lived from except for the head shot. and so the head shot, the kill shot, was to the apex of his head. it is my opinion that given the fact where his head was positioned at the time of that shot, that this officer had other reasonable means that he could have subdued michael and failed to do so. >> mr. bruntrager, let me pick occupy that because there seems little question that michael brown from the forensic evidence that michael brown attacked officer wilson in his car, grabbed for his gun, but here i think is the question that a lot of peop

mr. park i find your and the white house lack of transparency intolerable. and an obstruction to this committee's efforts to conduct oversight. it took a subpoena to get you here, sir. it took another subpoena to compel your documents from the white house. but even with that, we have yet to receive all of your documents in compliance with our subpoena issued on september the 19th. exactly two months ago. as a gesture of good faith, committee staff have engaged in multiple in-camera reviews with white house lawyers. yet, there are still documents being withheld from the committee. without a claim of a legally recognized privilege. that begs the question, what are you hiding, mr. park? i have some theories about the answer to that question. perhaps it is that you knew there were serious problems with healthcare.gov prior to the launch, but you did not convey them on up the chain in your briefings with the president. or perhaps you did. and they were ignored because of this administration's relen

mr. parks, he wasn't shot in the back. he was shot in the front. >> just because you shoot at him, doesn't mean you have to hit him. that's that's part of the problem that's happened in this case. just because i shoot at you -- a few of the shoots that the officer shot missed him. one of the shots to his arm could have come from the back. yes, witnesses say he shot at him. he may have missed him. at some point, michael turned around. so other people glance over the aspect of the fact that what made michael turn around. he turned around because he had been hit and the witnesses further testified that michael said, hey, why you shooting, quit shooting. >> was he turning around to give up or turning around to attack officer wilson? >> he was turning around to attack officer wilson. everybody has a right to their opinions. they don't have the right to their own set of facts. the single most important piece of evidence is the blood spot that's about 25 to 35 feet away from his body. we know he went to a farthest point north bec

bill: uh-huh. >> and mr. parkas right in the middle of all of this, and you heard the denial that he made yesterday. bill: did you ask mr. park whether or not it was safe for americans to sign up now? >> we did. in fact, he said he considered it safe back in october of last year. what kind of a farce is that? he was just giving us a bunch of mumbo jumbo, saying that he did not have any detailed information. but the white house was looking to him. the people in cms were looking to him. the people in ostp were looking to him. he obviously had direct responsibility, and he denied all that. that's the reason i asked him what are you hiding, mr. park? bill: what do you think -- >> and he's hiding a lot. bill: what do you think that answer is then? >> well, i really don't know, and it's impossible to -- i have my suspicions, but it's impossible to really know at this point who was responsible. we do know this, when the web site was rolled out october 1st of last year, that it was not secure, that it was a debacle. hhs s

clean, mohammed nuru, mr. park. he's mr. clean, that's our road show, who is so, so, so committed to making this city park sparkle. i want to bring him up so he can say thank you and let him say a few words. talk a little about our joint giants sweet program. once this event is over we're going to work together to keep this place sparkling. so, mr. clean, come on up. (applause) >> thank you, mr. parks. what a beautiful day. (applause) >> so, i'm very happy on the partnership that we have with the recreation and parks department, from the department of public works, all these bond projects. thanks to the voters, thanks to the community. we've been all working together and this is the result, what you see is a beautiful park. from dpw, lizy hirsch, our project manager making sure all the details, all the visions of the community had when the park was being built, the benches, all the nice stone work, all the plants, that they all came together to make this beautiful space. a big hand for lizy, please, and her leadership. (appla

mr. parks, thanks for joining us, as always.the state of mind for the brown family right now? how are they doing? >> well, jake, it's always been anticipating this moment when they would finally hear the decision of this grand jury. it's with hope still that they can get justice. as of now, we don't know what the decision is. but they remain very prayerful that the killer of their son will still be held to justice in this case. >> where will they be when the decision is announced and made public? right no >> right now, they're at home. think about it, all they got was a phone call through our counsel's office in st. louis telling them an announcement would be made later on that day. obviously they deserve more than just a heads-up phone call that we're going to make an announcement concerning the killer of your son. but that's all they have. but certainly as the victims in this case, they deserve a lot more than just a heads-up phone call. they've always said they deserve to be treated better than they've been treated in this ca

packers let's assume for -- mr. parks let's assume for the moment that the grand jury does indict and you have the result that you hope for tonight. and he's asked to account before a jury, we would assume, a jury not a judge trial. but that the result is, the most likely result that he's found not guilty because, let's face it, he's a white cop and in this country when white cops are brought to trial for shooting young dead black young men they are most often found not guilty. are you prepared to face that result and is the brown family prepared to face that result? what then for ferguson and for your clients? >> i could tell you what the answer would be for that question. they continue to have only a positive outlook concerning this process. so they wouldn't answer that question. i can tell that you. because they would answered that question at least three times in the last two weeks and they won't go there and i won't go there as their spokesperson. i think for now though the focus is do we indict or not? what happens

. >> mr. parks, i want you to stand by. we have more questions that you can answer. take a quick break. much more with daryl parks, the attorney for the michael brown family, right after this. i can... order safety goggles. play music for seedlings. post science fair projects. schedule guinea pig feedings. video chemical reactions. take pics of mr. bones. time the next launch. calm down principal jones. i can do all that with my android from tracfone. 90-day plans start as low as $20. unbeatable nationwide coverage. no contract. the samsung galaxy centura android smartphone. tracfone. do everything for less. and cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, u

so mr. parks will be accompanied by

so mr. parks will be accompanied by

. >> mr. parks, does the family know what the decision is? >> no they don't know the decision. all that we got shortly, i guess around 3:00 or 4:00 today, was a phone call from the district attorney that there will be an announcement later today. we believe they should have been told more than just that. in fact they should have come and talked to them about process and what is about to take place raer rather than just a phone call. but the brown family has said so often that they don't like how they have been treated as this process has gonna long. >> so the brown family tonight, their news consumers just like you and me. being treated just like the general public. >> very much so. >> okay. what do you think of that? >> well, it's no good. i think that the tradition in this country, ed, is when you have a person who is a victim, we accord victims great rights throughout this country. most officers have advocates who go around and walk the victims through the process, that's what we're accustomed to in our community. so we believe in this case that's what should have taken plac

been reached again and they have official notice and that's according to the brown family attorney mr. parks and also mr. crump. so, there we go. the family has notice. >> family has officially been notified and the grand jury has been released. they have been sent home. their work is done. plans are in place now, we're told that there's going be a 4:00 notice to the media of what is to come. we don't know -- we don't expect actually at 4:00 p.m. that we'll know what exactly that decision is, don, but we'll at least know officially they are planning -- the plan now is in process for them to make this official notification. obviously, then, obviously the public reaction will begin. >> and the public reaction is everyone has been urging, i'm sorry i had to cut it off. i had to get to the top of the hour and get the breaking news in. from the white house on down, everyone urging calm in this particular situation. the governor here urging calm. you were with michael brown's father as he was doing, shooting a public service announcement urging calm regardless what the announcement is, what the de

mr. parks, you know, michael brown sr.ave been pleading with everyone, protesters, here in ferguson, all across cont-- across the country, these are the kind of protests they would want. >> without question, don. they have, from the beginning really called out and asked everyone to be peaceful. and such, especially given the bad news they got yesterday. the last thing they wanted to see was the violence we saw last night. so, it gives their heart great joy to see people are peacefully protesting through out the country. and it even, we have actually even got a statement from -- from the united nations high commissioner for human rights today. commenting on -- on just the things that are going on in our country. and especially in ferguson, missouri. so, they appreciate the love. the support. they need it. things are not going the way they should. holding officer wilson accountable for what happened. to, to, in the killing of michael brown jr. i want to show you this, daryl. it got so much attention today. a lot of people we

. >>> mr. parks, thank you for joining us. i know it's been a very busy, difficult day for you. >> good evening. >> now that we know that there will not be state criminal charges, i just have to ask if your legal team and the family has made a decision about what they will do next. >> obviously, a civil possibility exists. that's something we'll move on at the appropriate time. but now, we have all the full faith that the federal and the department of justice will do a very thorough job in its investigation of the action of the officer. certainly we realize that the standard is very different. >> also, to read his own lengthy, narrative of the case, and to release the information that he did from the grand jury, it struck me that the prosecutor was essentially trying to discredit a lot of the witnesses, who came forward and saw some of what happened that day back in august, is that the sort of thing that could materially affect your preparation for a civil suit? >> not at all, rachel. first of all, i think you have to think ab

mr. parks, thank you very much for being with us tonight. i apriesh yat your time. >> thank you. >> ole want to ask you, we've been looking at a realtime picture of protesters in the streets of ferguson tonight and they're obviously anticipating this with a lot of anxiety. this may be the last moment before we hear this announcement, really, when people can hear reasonable arguments from both sides before i think we're about to get a lot of emotion one way or the other. is there anything that you can share from the perspective of the family or even the family's legal team in terms of what they're hoping for from people who are so concerned about this case. their belief that keeping the faith that our skrjustice syste will work correctly. not because of anything else about him. that he should be able to walk awill and get away with this. part of the protest movement around this case has been to try to achieve some measure of justice or at least some out rage in the streets to compensate for jus stis that is not coming through the system. if t

. >> mr. parks, let me ask you this. do you think that the process was -- were you satisfied by the explanation that bob mcculloch gave of the process? were you satisfied of the explanation, the lengthy explanation where he basically said, look, whatever you heard on social media, whatever you heard in the media, we actually saw first hand, we were thorough. we had witnesses contradicting each other witnessed contradicting physical evidence so what do you say to that? >> well, again, i totally think that the process was something that left a lot more to be desired. i think what you have here, chris, is where our judicial system has certainly not responded to a set of facts that warrants and cries out for justice. i think his general comments he made were his comments. i think that when we really look at this case, and look at the facts surrounding it, they come down to one simple question. did he have to take michael brown's life? no, he did not. he did not have to take michael brown's life. when you -- listening to the

parks and recreation. >> pleasure to see you, mr. . >> we had park and rec in college. >> i stole your wallet. >> you guys are weird. >> thank you. >> you get to say a line. on a tv show. and, i did tell my sisters because they were totally into it. wanted to see it if they actually watched it. then i got a bunch of calls. you didn't tell me. all of that stuff. it was fun. >> when you look forward to the next ten years, your to-do list, how much is football, how much is other stuff? >> i'm struggling looking past tomorrow. >> maybe becoming a grownup finally. >> learning how to be a grownup. that's number one on the list. >> hey, he has got the beard. adulthood can't be that far behind. coming up next, we have the ultimate comeback story. i promise you, you are going to want to hear what happened to olympic swimmer, amy van dyken, after her doctor told her there was a good chance she was going to die. >> he said you have to say good bye to your husband. he said it matter of fact. rachel, it was the weirdest thing. yes, that's what i n

i don't know how mr. parksays we get in the head of the prosecutor by perhaps some means to sort of figure out that impliedly they didn't want an indictment. >> those are the attorneys for the family of michael brown and officer darren wilson this morning on fox news sunday. they talked about the grand jury's decision and the accounts of what witnesses say happened when wilson fatally shot the unarmed teenager in august. joining me now, the president and ceo of the national urban league marc moreal. glad to have you back. i wanted to ask you. you were here last week. i want to get your reaction to what happened with the grand jury coming in saying no indictment. we talked about that being a possibility. what was your reaction? >> it was expected. i don't think anyone was surprised from the very beginning. there wasn't a lot of confidence in robert mccullough. certainly the way in which the grand jury process was managed leaves a lot to be desired. and it's clear there was sufficient evidence to secure an indict

able to take it to the streets of the park, and that is one of the most -- since time immemorial the purposes of public space. and a lot of this privatization, and mrarks in boston and i'm sure here also, to stop the rallies and all that. john: 50,000 people wanted to protest abortion central park. >> or not allowed. john: not allowed. >> what's more important, democratic free-speech or the grass you can replace the grass. >> whatever it will take. john: we don't have enough democratic free-speech they can protest in the street. >> this is the place where they would get their proper publicity , the legitimacy. john: it was government that said no, not corporations. john: the kind of government that is now giving prices over corporations. that is what the real problem is. what we have to do is fix the government because we are ending up with two tiers. john: of give you the last word. >> a quick word on events and free speech. the parks department right the permits, so they are the final. any time a politician wants to demonstrate we have had an obnoxious people on both sides, racist preacher, a gay pride demonstration. both were permitted because u

parks. something i know is going to continue in this budget cycle, mr. budget chair. [laughter] >> we are really, really thrilled with the support we've gotten from the board of supervisors for or parks and play grounds and rec centers. so, mark, come on up. let's give him a big round of applause. (applause) >> how about a huge round of applause for the best recreation and park general manager in our country today, mr. phil ginsberg. (applause) >> i don't think we appreciate how amazing phil is and how lucky we are as a city to have him. but today how lucky are we to be san franciscans standing here today? (applause) >> you know, today i have a number of thank yous i want to go through. but first i really want to comment about our parks and our support for our parks not only in city hall, but with the voters of san francisco. you know, we fight that battle every year in city hall with our budget and we're going through it right now to make sure we prioritize our parks for our families, for our children, for our seniors, for everyone. and the voters of san francisco hav

football games, is 7.15 million in total revenue, $6.5 million in ticket sales, 270 million in parking revenue. and mr. steinmetz, you're saying that this money stays within the athletic department? >> yes, it's -- well, some of it does, because it depends on who's running the concessions or who's running the parking et cetera, they're -- so to speak, their vote is on their own bottom. so they have to exist in revenue that they where in, the interesting thing about that article is that it doesn't -- afternoon the city of columbus, there's 106,000 fans inside the stadium for these games and several hundred others who don't go in the games, but enjoy the city of columbus, these are individuals that are in the restaurants, that are staying in the hotels, et cetera. there's this other indirect effect that particularly ohio state football has on the economy and on the region. and one other thing is, ohio state has 36 varsity sports. and we want to always talk about the major revenue sports, thinking particularly of football and basketball and we sometimes forget, that those two revenue sources are also sup

parking spot. >> thank you. >> mr. butler and he's the last person to address you on this matter. >> good afternoon mr. butler. >> can i have the overhead please? >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon chairman nolan and members of the board. i'm an architect in the room and always try to be a peace maker i'm the middle child. so the disputed spot is across the way there i measured a couple of different ways at the property line it's 35 and a half feet and 37 and a half feet at the garage so there's plenty of room for maneuvering and the two outdoor planters are placed in the public right of way and in the face of that they don't exist if they don't have a permit so without them 21 feet plus plus 16 feet per parking spot seems reasonable and there's really no need to take away the spot. and if you decide to remove the spot you should i should make a more careful survey of the area. >> anyone else care to address the board on this? okay public hearing is closed. what's what's your pleasure? >> i have a question. how did t

park t-shirts. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> mr. president, commissioners and director ginsberg, my name is hubert and i represent the newman association and it includes and is around balboa park. the particular item that i come for today is the balboa pool renovation. six 6 years ago it was with the initiative to i am mprove the children's playground and the public lands that came with the skate park and there has been a lot of improvements in the park and now we are facing with the balboa pool design 50 years ago. the design led three particular community meetings initiated by recreation and parks and the last one he had to tell us the sorry news that there was $1.5 million in seismic renovation work that had been unanticipated and had to be closed. i'm here to thank folks and for shawn, the director of aquatics for attending the meeting last monday and making it clear to us that the department was committed to bridging this gap. i'm aware of the fact that tony moran was the miracle worker and we are $600,000 to the good although i

mr. mayor >> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an

mr. general manager, i want to thank the recreation and park commission for allowing me to speak and thankmunity members who took time out of their busy schedules to be here today. i am here to speak about the issue that the general manager just discussed, and i want to say that watching the youth in that video was for me quite a learning experience. i actually think that the adults who live in the city have a lot to learn from those young people. the way that they carried themselves, and the way they got to the very core of the issue by suggesting, you know, why don't we just play together? i think that is what we have a responsibility to do. how do we find it so that open space and recreational space is available to everyone? let me say that i appreciate the efforts of the rec and park department and i'm grateful to the general manager and his staff for the fact that they met with these young people and that there are changes instituted that the playground. this playground is not in my district, but the vast majority of people who use this playground are from my district. i also believe
