mr. shaw, randy. i will go ahead and start. you know, it was just yesterday that i was standing under the rotunda listening to mayor lee's inaugural speech, and i think this is an incredible time for our city. a time where the city is coming together and moving past the old political pigeonhole. i want to say first and up front that we are the city where everyone is included. we are the city for everyone. our priorities are clear. we need to focus on jobs and smart economic development for all of our neighborhoods and rolled up our sleeves, get to work, and get things done. to the people of district 5, mayor lee and i share the same standard, that every decision i make will be what i believe are in the best interests of my constituents and the people of san francisco. i think you all know that i am is following in the footsteps of great supervisors who have represented district 5, starting with harvey milk, harry brit, matt gonzales, and ross mirkarimi. matt, i know that you're here today, and i want to thank you for your couns

it's very nice to meet you, mr. shaw. please call me edward.e, many years ago. you look like her, if memory serves me. that's what people tell me. i'm very happy to be here. we're very glad to have you here. i, uh... i think i'd better sit down. i'm afraid these visits here are rather tiring. they take the wind out of my sails. can i get you anything? no, i'll be fine. just let me rest a while. are you going to stay for supper? i wouldn't miss it. go on, now, and show her the rest of the house. and i'll see you at supper, rebecca. that'll be very nice. nancy: my uncle edward lived in the house his whole life. but his physical condition deteriorated too much and i had to move him to one of those retirement homes for the elderly. it was a very difficult decision for both of us... but at least he comes home once a week. today's the day. he's a very distinguished gentleman. and he was a very good musician, too. he used to play the piano beautifully but he can't anymore. he's... just too frail. come see the kitchen. and this is the kitchen. who left

mr. chairman. dr. shaw, thank you for your service. i have to be honest with you though, i don't understand and know what you answered last year when i raised this question. you will have to do better this year than the answer you gave me last year. i waited to see. that is my concern about what's happening in latin america and the caribbean. as in many regions of the world whereus aid works, the absolute level ofus assistance in latin america and the caribbean has begun to decline. in latin america unlike africa south and central asia and the middle east, so too has the proportion of u.s. aid going to the region. so that's a compounding factor. between 2008 and 2012, u.s. assistance aid fell from 2.1 billion to 1.8 billion, a 13% decrease since 2008. assistance to latin america declined proportionately and now it's only 8% of lateral aid where as in 2008 they received ten. looking over this year's request, i am alarmed by what i see. the spending request for esf is down 7% from last year. a whopping 21% from 2008. even direct assistan

mr. shaw, thank you for the work you do and let us know about which you layout. if you look at growth around the world, the developed countries are we read that growth is taking place in the developed countries faced lesser growth happening. as we watch them at the other powers around the world and the way they invest in developed countries, much of that is done in a way that furthers their own growth also. i'm just wondering if you look at these investment and the developing world coming to be given any thought as to how that might benefit our own country in a relationship that allows shots to be treated in our country? >> thank you on the senator for that question. i think we also studied carefully some of the models to countries like china has deployed to essentially position themselves aggressively in what are going to be the emerging markets of the next two decades. it is worth noting that in africa are your 15 to 17 countries that have been growing at six or 7% annually for more than a decade. you have a common market that is larger than the market in china

mr. chairman, are you going to stay hope to questions? >> yes, we will be open for the record. >> doctor shaw, you mentioned the great advances in productivity worldwide. at least i recorded dramatic increases. let me ask the fundamental question. one of the great disputes in the past with the advance has been resistance of modified seed. this has come perhaps because of european influence on african countries. that influence was such that productivity increases were deminimus and the case of bad weather was disastrous. i'm curious how you have overcome that resistance which is still the case in many economies as i visit with german farmers or even in ukraine. that this generally affects the soils and the waters and is a hazard i find apart from the boost in nutrition. can you describe your success or how you have moved in this case? >> thank you, senator. we have as we discussed previously been focused on making sure we use all available appropriate technology to help in particular vulnerable small scale farmers, most of hume, 70% of what do you mean of women improved production of food and
