let's hear from mr. rosen. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee, given that these agreements would begin july 1, i recommend that you amend for retroactivity and based on the r.f.p. process we recommend you approve as amended. >> very good. thank you, mr. rose. i just have one question, pretty simple one. that is i notice these contracts have different terms and what is the reasoning behind that? >> the reasoning behind sit under -- we do receive a level of state funding for linkages and case management. the maximum allowed by the grantor is a maximum of three-year term with a one-year option where we have more flexibility for a maximum five-year term for community living fund. >> that will go to 2015 with the extension. >> yes. >> okay. we can open up this item for public comment. any member of the public who would like to comments on number one please come forward. seeing no one come forward, we'll close public comment. motion to approve from supervisor maxwell and we can take that without objection to the full

mr. rosen felled -- rosenfeld. >> one quick point.ommittee's trying to determine how to allocate limited hours here. i know our office in working through our audit plan for the year as do others, we like to see audits completed at the moment in time where they have the ability to effect a change. that ultimately that's the end goal. and one of the unique circumstances to think about for this year, especially for this calendar year, is the fact that the vast majority of our m.o.u.'s are closed. we have m.o.u.'s that are closed not only for the last nine months of this fiscal year but for the most part with a couple of very small exceptions for the entirety of the next fiscal year. to the extent that the last audit is really going to make recommendations that require changes to m.o.u.'s to implement, the audit will be complete well in advance of any time that the city would be able to implement any change. so if you're trying to think about what you want to get done this year and think about for next year, m.o.u. provisions are not goin

we have two microphones and if anybody has a question -- mr. rosen, please,. ,. come up. >> i was one of the defendants in a apac case. it was pointed out that the costs of the defense attorneys in the apac case was $12 million. the prosecutors were able to force our employer to dismiss us and to seize the payment of our attorneys fees. we later on thankfully were able to force them nonetheless to pay a bargained down number on the attorneys' fees. >> significantly barreded down. >> our attorneys were willing to continue defending us for roughly two years by -- while not being paid a ball and running the meter. i wonder whether such powerful institutions such as the newspapers could face a prosecution that cost $12 million or $20 million tax i wonder if the board of directors in today's economics of the media would tolerate such a thing. i wonder whether they could not find some other victim who would be forced to plead out because they did not have the advantages that we had. i know you questions but my final comment is that a high percentage of these costs were

mr. james rosen with the details. good morning, james. >> good morning, dave, alisyn and clayton.cument dump on the wikileaks web site said to be related to the iraq war comes as we learn of a pentagon assessment about the first wikileaks posting like this relating to the afghan war back in july. you will recall that wikileaks founder julian assange strongly defended his decision to post his web site 77,000 secret u.s. reports relating to the war in afghanistan. he told "the new york times" back then that the documents show the general squalor of war and the killing of innocence. now the associated press reports it has obtained an august 16th letter from defense secretary robert gates to senator carl levin, the michigan democrat who chairs the armed services committee in which gates concluded that no u.s. intelligence sources or practices were compromised by the wikileaks posting. at the time, however, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was vivid in his summation of the damage done by the wikileaks posting. >> we always need to be mindful of the unknown potential for damage
