mr. sanchez and mr. stores both, and there is not a further process related to the subdivision map and i think that everybody agrees that process will land in front of the board of supervisors and so we just encourage you to continue the matter again, so that we have the opportunity to get the subdivision map approved to get an answer from the board of supervisors and the planning department on a no build continue before we are back in front of you >> how long do you think that this process will take? >> we are prepared to refile the application tomorrow and it will be for them to tell us how the city typically takes to process. and two months on top of that for an appeal. could i hear mr. sanchez what your time estimate is? >> generally, these matters can be dealt with fairly promptly and i mean that this is a simple referral from the department of public works i would want to add abundance of caution and take the materials and the history related to the case i would not want to approve it as soon as we

mr. sanchez and mr. stores both, and there is not a further process related to the subdivision map and i think that everybody agrees that process will land in front of the board of supervisors and so we just encourage you to continue the matter again,

mr. sanchez say that he wants more time to look at it closely and to see what the intent was in 1962 and review all of the historical documents, don't you have a interest in that type of a review? >> i think that we do. and i would agree that kind of close look that the building set lines will allow you to process as a whole. yes. >> even though, it is clear who approved them, the board of supervisors. >> okay, thank you. >> so commissioners we need to take the public comment, could i see a show of hands of how many people plan to speak on public comment on this item? >> okay. we can take it, whoever wants to start. >> and i thought that you were a paid consultant associated with this, so you cannot speak under public comment. >> i'm tim the executive director of the san francisco action coalition and on behalf of our organization, we are engaged in the advocacy for creation of well designed and well located housing at all levels of portbility in san francisco. we don't normally do projects this size but it seemed like a good one and adopting the landscape and the maintenance plan we end

mr. sanchez with the carpenter's union and first of all i want to say that san francisco is growing. and we need housing. and this building has all of the provisions of the general plan which is housing, and also, this project was approved by the board of supervisors and also by the planning commission. and so those folks they know what they are approving. also, if i am not mistaken, the objectives of the eastern neighborhood plan is to maintain a nice mix of neighborhood, and commercial. and this project has given us. and i think that the developer's goal is to improve the area. and make it a more friendly, so please, deny the appeal. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> mira, aliza and i am here to support the appeal for the project. and we are primarily concerned about precedent setting high limit ex-exception and shadows and traffic and parking in the area, potrero, avenue is incredibly crowded now and with the amount of development coming it is going to get worse and for anyone to say that there is no environmental impacts on the park and traffic, restrictions th

mr. sanchez do you know? >> commissioners, structural engineer, we used this last permit as a house cleaning permit as well. it is a series of violations from the past, one of them was dry rot, repair, and we wanted to include that response of the nov and actually put it as part of the list of items that we were going to take care of the roof deck and the parapet and the extension of the retaining wall and the patio and the response for the nov which is the dry rot repair. >> okay. >> >> i have a little bit more information this time, the original permit was actually to comply with the notice of violation and so maybe our staff saw that that violation was standing until all permits are seeupd off and added it on this permit as well, there was a notice of violation, it was probably a previous owner, but he did not say that but i imagine that it may have been a previous owner, and when we see a violation on there we like to reference that as much as we can and so when we sign-off on the jobs we abait the violat

mr. sanchez. our final witness is professor kerry cordero, whose bio i have just mislayed, but i'm sure you can get me another one very quickly. thank you. she is an adjunct professor of law and the director of national security studies at the georgetown university law school. she's previously held several national security related positions with the department of justice and the office of director of national intelligence. she's also testified before this committee before. welcome back, professor. please proceed. >> mr. chairman, thanks very much. thanks for the opportunity to return to the committee. since the october hearing, the conversation, i would suggest, has shifted somewhat from where it first was. first, i would suggest that the conversation has evolved from objections to specific programs to a discussion of our understanding of intolerance for foreign intelligence surveillance activities more broadly. second, the legislative proposals are coming closer to scaling back national security

mr. sanchez. carrie l witness is cordero. she is an add junct professor of law at georgetown university law school. she's helped several national security positions with the department of justice and she has testified before this committee before. professor. >> thank you for the opportunity to return to the committee. since the october hearing the conversation i would suggest has shifted from where it first was. first i would suggest that the conversation has evolved from objections to specific programs to a discussion of our understanding of and tolerance for foreign surveillance acktiths more broadly. second they are coming closer to scaling back legal authorities in a way that might take the country back to pre9/11 standards. and disclosure on a way that is responsive to the private sector remains a worthy goal but a significant challenge. with the meta data collection, an argument increasingly regarding the power of meta data and that argument is it's a very powerful tool and can reveal a lot of about us and should be lim

mr. sanchez. guest: good morning. caller: i believe i was tapped, my computer, a few weeks before we first started hearing things about n.s.a. on the news. i'm sitting and working at my computer. now, i'm a writer, i'm writing about ancient egypt, so i've always got multiple egyptian websites open. i'm sitting and writing and all of a sudden i see popping up on my screen a little logo that says p.r.i.s.m., and then my system went down. and it turned out it was probably hacked. and the fact that i haven't seen anything like that or heard of anything like that from anyone else leads me to suspect that either it was a malfunctioning computer or it was an n.s.a. trainee. i don't know any of this for sure, but it was kind of scary to think i may have been hacked. and do they know the difference between ancient and modern egypt. guest: i will tell you i think that is not very likely for a couple of reasons. one, obviously if you're having logos pop up on your screen you know something is wrong, which sort of defeats the pur

sanchez: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you both to adam smith and to my fellow californian, buck mckeon, chairman, for getting us to this point. it was very, very difficult, i know that on the tactical air and land forces subcommittee, chairman mike turner, his leadership, really led us to be able to get our work done. our subcommittee looks at equiping our troops in particular. everything from body armor to what types of planes they fly in, how we transport them, etc. and this ndaa i believe reflects the needs of the troops in the field and our high priority acquisition program as reflected in the president's budget. it authorizes an adecisional $400 million for the national guard and reserve accounts and m1 er $90 million for abrams upgrades in the army national guard. the bill includes $1.3 billion for the u.s. marine corps ground equipment and we continue to support global hawk through 2014. one of the most important things we do in our subcommittee is oversight of these very large acquisition programs, and in pa
