mr. robins? >> well, on the map here, i am sorry, it is a small scale, but, there are a lot of restrictions on the northern end of the city and there are also, some restrictions in the bay view hunter's point area on the vehicles over three tons which would also apply to tour buses and other parts of the city where i think there has been a lot of conflicts between the trucks and residential land uses and we have tried to keep the trucks off of the residential streets as much as possible in those neighborhoods. so, you mentioned fort mason, this is a restriction that we think is not working very well, and fort mason is in the center of this photograph, and there is no way to get a bus to fort mason without driving over one of these restricted streets and that is something that we are trying to avoid. and we think that it is good, that the buses are able to get into a place like fort mason, when they have the events, but in this case, we have made it very difficult for them to do that legally, and

mr. president, we're thinking of adam's loved ones today, including his parents, bruce and diana, his brother sean, his sisters sara and angela, his sister-in-law robin and many other beloved family members and friends. the loss of lance corporal adam d. peak is tragic, and indeed it is only appropriate that this united states senate pause to honor his service and recognize his sacrifice. i hope that his family can take some comfort from the fact that both the commonwealth of kentucky and the country as a whole are grateful for and honored by the heroism and courage adam displayed in his entirely too short life, and the example he set for his loved ones and his country will not be forgotten. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the leadership time is reserved. under the previous order, the senate will resume consideration of the conference report to accompany h.r. 2642, which the clerk will report. the clerk: conference report to accompany h.r. 2642, an act to provide for the reform and continuation of agricultural and other programs of the department of agriculture through fiscal year 2018, and for other purposes. the
