mr. richie? seeing none, mr. general manager? public comment please. >> clerk: public comment on 7a the drought condition update. if you wish to make public comment on the drought condition update, please raise your hand to speak. any members in the room wish to provide public comment? seeing none, do we have any callers with their hands raised? >> there is one caller in the queue. >> caller: this is peter drekmeier policy director from the tuolumne river trust. i appreciate mr. richie's presentation. lot of good news here. i i'm looking at a slide, it's tuolumne river water available to the city. as i mentioned before, i think that looking at the deficit reaching full storage makes people more nervous than they should be. the sfpuc has a lot of storage. the system was built for the time when demand was projected to be twice what it is today. we got lot of wiggle room there. in this slide, it shows that water available to the city this year is 201,000-acre feet. that's just water from it tuolumne. i understand that we've got abou

mr. richie will remark on that as well. and so the question is, is that all the picture? and, so, what i've done and unfortunately this data is -- this is the data that the agencies report to the state board as they're required to, but it's showing all poetable water use. all potable water use by month. and what i've done is the orange line is the same orange line that you had. so that orange line is 2015 total potable water use, but the green line is 2022. and, now mind you, this is april, so it's not may or june, but it's certainly showing something different than just those regional water system purchase numbers. and that's the concern. that's the concern to understand what's going on with that. and i wish i had the answer for you, but i don't. but right now if we were to look just at april, for example, april 2022 use is actually 3% less than april 2015. that wouldn't necessarily be what you would have thought if you lookeded at april on the p.c. purchases data. so what's going on? so some observations that we've made that i wanted to share with you. as i mentioned, w

mr. lionel richie well, we do have to show a little bit of video that was taken at the gershwin awards a view rocking with lionel richie singing all night long you can see dr. hayden up there in the box with this is richie while lionel richie perform. is that a fun evening for you? it was wonderful because in one of the previous gershwin award concerts, it was noted the master of ceremonies samuel jackson mentioned that it was bipartisan karaoke because these songs are popular. everybody knows the songs and they're singing along and that unity in what it demonstrates to is that music can bring people together. and that was a great demonstration. you had everybody on their feet and everybody talked but singing and it was wonderful. so dr. hayden if somebody is listening or watching this interview and wants to be the 15th librarian of congress. what do you recommend to them? the first thing i'd recommend is going to the library's website llc.gov and just getting a sense of what is going on at the library now they can see our digital strategy our plan for the next 30 years. they can see wha

to young lgbtq+ americans and continues that great tradition as a member of congress, richie torres of new york. mr. torres: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm proud to be a gay man in congress. you know, i stand here as living proof that the long arc of history bends toward lgbtq equality. i'm the first latino and black lgbtq member of congress. and i proudly serve as vice chair of the homeland security committee. back in the 19 50's, president eisenhower issued an executive order declaring people like me to be a threat to homeland security. and out of his executive order came the lavender scare. the systematic purge of gay people from the ranks of federal employment. and so the lgbtq experience in america is as much about pain as it is about pride. we've seen the lives and livelihoods of untold numbers of people who have been ravnled by homophobea. and i wish to speak about one of those people. walter jenkins. who served honorably during the johnson administration in a time of national turmoil only to have his brilliant career cut short by homonobodya. on october 15, 19 -- by homophobea. on october 15,
