we have a large contingent to talk about mr. tan, an -- about district 10, and i would like to reconsider, because we did not have this kind of feedback from the community, and i know this is the last day for recommending changes, but i want to put it on the table but the decision we make is going to affect the community, so i want this to be more thoughtful, and they think out our decisions. i do not want us to be tied to our decisions. i want us to be open and flexible as we near the deadline. i just wanted to comment on what we earlier stated. >> today is the last date for decisions. we are still open to public commentary did you have perspective? >> one is in terms of where we are in the process, i agree with a couple of my colleagues who have said we should be open- minded but we should take the possibility seriously. i agree we have been on a track that depends on the placement of the neighborhood, but i do not think we have run out of time to consider another option, so i think we should think that through, and the last meeti

it does little or no interest which mr. tan region -- with district ten. it should not be split. the clinics and hospitals are an integral part. they draw their patient days from all areas, but the mission is the most overwhelmingly represented. i strongly urge you to keep this community together. i am pleased supervisor cohen has reiterated that it remain together in district 10. i am going to be handing these are round. good on the bottom is the population deviation. it is 73,000, which is exactly -- >> any additional speakers for public comment on this agenda item? we will take a 10-minute break and return of >> thank you. thank you to the members of the public for providing it your testimony and public input to the current draft map, and at this time if i could have mr. lee, we are going to approach mapping and what we may or may not decide to do moving forward with this particular agenda item. in the past when we have not had all nine members of the task force, we have had to consider if we would do line drawing. chrir mcdonald said he would ask they consider not drawing lin

chairman, that we can bring mr. tan ga lienee back, with regard to where they are and what they're doing. i just don't -- i want us to make sure we stay on top of this. >> i have no doubt we'll have several hearings of this sort going forward on a joint basis. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. you shared a hats-off program that word awarded electronic cameras and ipods. the hats off program has been suspended pending your review. i understand you also closed all other award programs, is that correct? >> all other similar award programs in which points were given to employees that they could then turn in for prizes or awards. >> and where did that -- how did that start, do you know? >> i really don't know. and that's part of what i'm trying to understand. what i would like to do is look at things like these award programs, and ask ourselves, where did they come from? what purpose do they serve? is there some good underlying them? what contractual agreements do we have with our employees related to them? so we have suspende

mr. secretary? >> he is a leader of afghan tan. >> you trust him? >> i have sat down with him. we talk pretty frankly with each other. he is the leader and she the person we have to deal with. >> does that mean you trust him, though? >> certainly you trust the leaders that you have to deal with, but you always kind of watch your back at the same time. >> that doesn't sound like a reigning endorsement of the leader of afghanistan. >> it is true for any leader we deal with. >> this one has said awful things about the united states. >> i understand. obviously that's been a concern, but at the same time, we have had the ability to directly relate to him when it comes to some of the major issues. >> a hundred billion dollars. do you know what that kind of money can spend. the american public is increasingly frustrated when they see that money spent in afghanistan rather than here in the united states. >> i understand. the whole purpose of this is to protect the american people. that's what this war is about. >> bin laden is dead. >> no. the reality is the attack on the united states

mr. truman selected him, not because of his experience, but because he was marshall. >> there is nothing that i can say at this time regarding matters that per tan tain to my position in the state department. but i assume the do theiuties w great feeling of responsibility and ape very earnest desire to carry out the foreign policy of this government in the manner that has been so splendidly exemplified by my predecessor, mr. burns. my old friend. >> the new secretary brought imagination and a dignified intensity to his job which was equal to the world challenge. in march, 1947, marshall headed a delegation to moscow whose mission was the peace agreement on germany and austria. the opportunity to observe the russian bear in his native environment was valuable in view of increasing soviet hostility. russia already loomed as the largest question mark in america's future. the desperate economic plight of europe, drew marshall's whole attention upon his return. and recommendations were presented to the congress. >> europe is still emerging from the devastation and dislocation of the most destructive war in history. within its own resources, europe ca

mr. chairman, i'm a native arizona resident, i grew up in that state, i came from neighborhoods and business and a law practice with a multitude of hispanic and members tan friends, investors, what have you. we worked together, we shared each other's heritage and experience. the culture of our state reflects the rich history of the latino influence. but during the last two years, mr. chairman, we have unduly harmed our legal latino residents in this process. the solution of the problems coming into this country illegally. we have let rhetoric and political advantage cloud this sound judgment. mr. chairman, this hearing is partly about 1070 and mostly seeing that the supreme court will address it tomorrow. i believe it is ill-founded, mean-spirited, divisive. instead, it requires state and local law enforcement to carry out immigration responsibilities that lie with the federal government clearly. prior to being elected in the united states senate in 1976 as the chairman pointed out, i was a peop a pima county attorney. to head up the arizona drug control district because of the tremendous problem along the border. this creation of this drug controlled di

tan's all based on the intelligence we have about the terrorist threats we face. >> i see my time has expired. thank you. >> thank you, senator. >> thank you, senator lee. senator franken? >> thank you, mr. chairman. madame secretary, this week the house of representatives is considering several cyber security proposals but this morning i want to talk about with you about the cyber security proposals that are here in the senate. because while there's ban lot of talk about privacy and civil liberties implications of the house proposals and, rightly so, fewer people are talking about the two bills here in the senate. the fact is that they are, as they are currently drafted, both of the cyber security proposals here in the senate present very serious threats to our privacy and civil liberties. both bills allow companies the near unfettered ability to monitor e-mails and files of their customers. both bills may allow companies to share that information directly with the military. both bills generally allow the federal government to freely share that information with law enforcement and both bills immunize companies against grossly negligent and knowing violations of the few privacy protecti

get back to their prime cam tan goal, which is to improve with women the perceptionç of the candidate who just hired this new guy as his spokesman. it's nice to see you mrme i'm here for my expertise to older white guy. how dare he say anything bad about you. >> what he said about me is the at least of my worries. i've got to wonder if the romney campaign, if we see any sign that if you're just talking about the callista gingrich ones, that they see any sign of nasty sexist tweets about her appearance might be ail nating to people who might consider voting for mr. romney? >> apparently, not. i find it astonishing that given their problem among women they didn't look at that stuff. you ask the question, what can romney do with women? they could fire this guy or put mitt romney on your show to personally apologize to you for this? i think that would be -- >> i'd endorse that. >> it would be fun to see him on this show. the obvious thing for him to do is start talking a lot more to older working women where he may have a way to get at it. he kind of tried to talk to working women the other day and he insulted the cookies. that got rid of the whole story. i
