mr. wilson in 2014. as i understand it, a letter of determination is something the designers can take to the bank. this smells of political pressure. the zoning administrator to issue a letter of determination in 2014, and then attempt to resend it in 2018. please do not succumb to political pressure, rather do what is just. it should be noted that this letter in favor of mr. wilson was not solicited, and he will likely be surprised because in the past, i have written the planning department of requesting a reduction in the upper story setback height in regards to this project. this of course, was a separate matter. please present this letter to the members of the board of appeals. the other letter is from a san francisco resident named mark press. dear board of appeals members, as a resident, i find it unreasonable that the city punishes the creation of much-needed infill housing by requiring the elimination of existing parking. this unoccupied property would be an asset to the neighborhood, adding addi

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the people of venezuela have taken to the streets to nand an end to 20 years of dictatorship and repression. i am grateful that president donald trump is supporting the democratic aspirations of the venezuelan people. the people of venezuela deserve to prosper. they are fortunate to hold the world's largest supply of crud oil. decades of socialist corruption and mismanagement first under hugo chavez and then maduro have impoverished venezuela. then came the sham 2018 presidential elections. that is why the national asemipresident implemented their constitution by declaring himself interim president and calling for new elections. we must continue to support hope in venezuela. free and fair elections must be held. the people of venezuela deserve freedom and democracy. in conclusion, god bless our troops. we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new jersey seek recognition? without object

mr. wilson's war, this isn't america's war. roosevelt had been watching. the wilson administration and he took mental note and roosevelt by this time was thinking i could be president, okay, and this is how i'm going to do if i'm president. i'm going to lag behind the american people and i'm going let the american people drag me into the war. now, roosevelt caused winston churchill, prime minister to have the united kingdom to agonize on whether the americans were ever going to come to the rescue of democracy. churchill would let out ideas that maybe, maybe if britain is force today surrender then the royal fleet will be captured by nazis and the americans will be at risk and you really better do something, mr. president, and roosevelt was able to do a few things to get -- to help britain stay afloat but he refused to act in a decisive way until the war came to america and the war came to america in december 1941 and december 7th, 1941 and in the two hours it took, the japanese dive bombers to raid pearl harbor, the isolationist position in the united state

mr. wilson. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. wilson: thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you, republican leader mike mccaul. i urge opposition to h.j. resolution 37, directing the removal of u.s. armed forces from the hostilities in yemen. actually, the u.s. is not directly engaged in any hostilities in yemen. this is not my independent assessment but the determination of the department of defense. the u.s. is currently supporting the saudi-led coalition in yemen by providing targeting assistance, intelligence sharing, and joint planning to defeat the houthi rebels who are armed by iran with missiles that they have directed at civilian airports in saudi arabia. there is no doubt that the saudi-led coalition in yemen has made terrible targeting mistakes, but what would happen if the u.s. were to pull the plug on our intelligence sharing and targeting cooperation? would this improve the coalition's targeting or possibly make it worse, increasing the chance for collateral challenge and civilian casualties? i am concerned if we walk away now, these terrible tragedie

mr. wilson twenty sixteen into allegations of state sponsored doping in russian the paralympic committee was among the federation it's causing a lot of fury back then if the allegations of a symptom of a doping system where on prison some of the athletes responded upon hearing of their exclusion from the real summer games. divert from the word due. to the. warming of the. world to. believe in all. my use these. pipes to post but it is all. systems now but i'll let you know when there's a. guidebook. yes some tough testimony there ellis cashmore is a sports pundit and sociology professor in the u.k. he believes the ban was unfair in the first instance my own view is that it was overly punitive and a great many a great great man or an unknown number of paralympic athletes were excluded from the games without due process in other words we didn't know they may not have registered a negative or positive test we just don't know it because the ban was issued for russia as a country now there is one cabby out here that i want to mention. sixty nine out of seventy conditions were said to have bee

lady falkender was accused by some of drafting mr wilson's resignation honours, which included a numbere sport now, here's richard at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. the first of the day's fa cup fifth round matches is underway. brighton and hove albion from the premier league are taking on the championship side, derby county. and brighton have just gone ahead, through anthony knockhart. around ten minutes of the first half to go there. later on, newport county will be aiming to pull off what their manager says would be the biggest fa cup shock of all time. they've already knocked out middlesbrough and leicester, and this afternoon, newport, who are in league two, host the premier league champions manchester city, with the chance to make it through to the quarterfinals. we've got to believe we've got a chance of winning. they are exceptional — the first team, the second team, or the third team. i think their under—23s would be good team as well. so it's going to be a very, very difficult evening, but we've got belief, we've got to go out there and play to the highest level that we

mr. will: i exaggerate somewhat a bit, but woodrow wilson became president of the united states. he became the first president to criticize the american founding, which he did not do marginally. he did it root and branch. he said that the great sin of the founders was the separation of powers, which made government inefficient. it was all very well once, he thought, when we were a country of three to 4 million people, 80% of them living within 20 miles of atlantic tidewater. it was fine to have a cumbersome, non-nimble government. but, he said, now that we are a nation united by copper wires and steel rails, that had to go. it had to go so we could be more scientific. science was in the air at the time woodrow wilson came to power. literally in the air with marconi, but edison, ford, the wright brothers, and woodrow wilson became the president of the american political science association and really did believe that politics could be a science. that is, it would be governed by scientists, not unlike him, and that they would practice the science of administration to the study of w

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, president donald trump made the courageous decision to withdraw from the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty last week. this was long overdue. sadly, there have been obvious russian violations since 2011. the 1987 i.n.f. treaty was achieved by president ronald reagan to prohibit development of ground launch cruise missiles. the treaty was the gold standard of arms control agreements for years, but russia has been in violation of the agreement while we have continued to limit our research and development. allowing russia to violate the i.n.f. treaty endangers american families. now, russia will find more incentive to return to the negotiating table encouraged by secretary of state mike pompeo. we must continue to seek peace through strength. it is with this strategy

mr. wilson to speak so he can tell you about -- i can be available for questions. >> good evening, commissioners. i am an architect -- >> can you please assist with the microphone, maybe

i want to associate myself with the comments of mr wilson and mr rosso that in ten minutes from now,and for the next many years and hopefully for the rest of our lifetimes, we all need to be friends back and work together. that is the message i want to impart. it is about issues, it is about legislation that we pass, that is -- we are legislators. we are lawmakers. that is the measurement that we should judge ourselves by. way i wanted to say that. there are many things that go into how one casts a vote in an election like this. i have known hillary ronen when she was one of the greatest board aids for one of the greatest supervisors. we work together on all sorts of things, sanctuary city was under attack. hillary and david campos would come to my office in north beach we work together on airbnb. i supported norman he when he ran for school boards and made the mistake of not supporting him when he ran for supervisor. that is a true fact. this is kind of an embarrassment of riches. i know all of his work in the community, and there are many narratives. i'm a supervisor who represents

mr. wilson. >> good morning, supervisors, my name is rachel kilshaw, and i'm here on behalf of commissioner alias, and ask that you consider her for reappointment to the police commission. i'm a fifth generation san franciscoan, and still live with my city here. i recently retired from the san francisco police department after 28 years. and during the last three years with the department, i was assigned to work at the police commission office. i have known commissioner alias since she joined the police commission last year. she was appointed by the board of supervisor to fill the seat that was vacated by then president termon's sudden passing, and she certainly had big shoes to fill. over the past year, she has definitely risen to the occasion. she has taken her role on the police commission very seriously, and she has worked diligently on all of the matters under the police commission's authority, from adopting the policies that officers follow to handling police officer discipline, and overseeing the implementation of the u.s. d.o.j.'s 272 recommendations far the s.f.p.d. i know her to be

mr. wilson, that statement from another democrat in the state is talk about his own behavior in the army when he was 18 years old. the governor was in 25 years old and in medical school. >> i think what you see is the hypocrisy. if you harken back to justice kavanaugh they were condemning things that he denied in his yearbook. for the democrats to suggest a 25-year-old medical student can dress in black face or kkk garb and get away with that is unacceptable. >> it's odd the man who made the statement said it's in poor taste. it's beyond poor taste. do you any he has any choice but to resign? >> i issued statement that said if he's in the photograph, either in black face or kkk garb, he needs to resign. he's admitted he's one of the two. it doesn't matter which one he is. both are in absolutely disgraceful and he needs to resign immediately. >> the governor is saying he's ready to put many the effort of doing the important work of healing the damage he's caused. you don't believe he should be given that chance. some of his supporters will say his record as a politician speaks well for hi

mr. wilson at morgan stanley i right about ban earnings session stocks could be more expensive than theyif you get a trade deal, interest rates remain low, fed stays on the sidelines we get bunch of up sides i bet. stocks will seem in retrospect cheap. the bottom line this marke keeps seesawing because we are any binary moment with the glass half empty scenario is worst than half full scenario but th facts favor the more hopeful view if we are staying in this market as long as you recogniz when the trade talks break bow we will get a decent decline ahead. all right, let's go to adam in florida. adam >> hey, jim, how are you big by ha from north florida >> i love north florida i live in the pan handle myself kindred. >> oh, okay. >> yes >> hey, listen, at&t, had it for a while a great dividend about 28 today and i see sprint file a lawsuit about the 5g rol outs should i be concerned or are they just trying to jump on th bandwagon? >> bands wagon jumping let's get on the same page, yo are reaching to get that yield why not take a little bit less yield and own ver verizon ye like to reach i

mr. woodrow wilson bridge. my voters saw redeeming qualities. mr. costa: you have had redeeming qualities. mr. davis: that was a tangible quality. we have so many new members and so many new members who don't understand how well the place can work. how do you see this evolving? mr. costa: 60% of the congress are 10 years or less. i don't feel like an old veteran. so i think there is an educational factor and there is an interest in our caucus about returning to earmarks. how we do that to try to indicate that this is on the basis of merit and projects that are necessary. and who knows better frankly in many ways than a member of congress as to what the needs of their district are. you knew about the woodrow wilson bridge. we have spent time here in our nation's capital. but the transportation needs of tu any member of congress, i can tell you where all the needs are in the 16th congressional district in california and i have had a long history of working on infrastructure projects going back to my years in the state legislature. so i have been a par

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. . wilson: mr. speaker, the national institute of standards and technology is celebrating 30 years of success. senator hollings of south carolina introduced legislation that led to the creation of the program that later was renamed in his honor. the m.e.p. has served over 26,000 companies. it has earned support in congress for assisting small to mid-sized manufacturers. i am grateful that the south carolina m.e.p. has generated almost $380 million in new investment and created 1,361 jobs. it generated almost $2.7 billion in statewide economic impact. in the second congressional district, it has created and retained 989 jobs last year and brought in over $30 million of new investment. i commend these employers for creating jobs in south carolina and nationwide. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and th

mr. wilson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you so much for being here today. we're so fortunate to have the military personnel, the personnel that we have with the u.s. custom and border protection agents on our border to protect american families to address the issues that we have on the southern border. i want to thank both of you for your service. i have a firsthand experience of the benefits of being activated. i served 31 years in the army guard. i have three sons who served in the national guard. we have found being activated, for us it was hurricane recovery and relief. being activated and mobilized actually enhances training. the camaraderie of our members has never been better. i want to thank you for the opportunities you actually give. it's been indicated 19 different state verss have had guard membt the southern border. for surveillance, logistics, aviation support and other assistance. this support on the southern border has been carried out with operation jump start under gentlemen of the jury bush and operation phalanx under president obama. can

mr. wilson talked about stand behind them because that's the right thing to do. that's the right thing to do for the venezuelan people. something came up and the question do people in venezuela have ownership rights and that was taken up by dhaf ez or maduro? >> i do not know the answer to that. i'll find out. >> a socialist country that turns to a dictatorship doesn't have the means to protect themselves, yet the -- the criminal gangs do and the narco terrorists have those and the military have those. >> we do know that the maduro regime has distributed arms to its gangs. >> they have, and i think that again, goes to the -- just the breakdown of maduro because he knows he's not legitimate. and so if we'll honor legitimate elections we know that president guaido is the one we need to follow. miss odekirk, you were talking, the question came up about citgo. if the legitimate president gets recognized around the world, president guaido, that money that citgo is producing, if we were to remove the sanctions or keep the sanctions on that money can go into escrow, can

compromise idea which has been floated about by some of my colleagues, including peter kyle and mr wilsoner parliament votes for it. people like me, who want the uk to remain within the eu, people like jacob rees mogg who want the uk to leave the eu, could both vote for mrs may's deal on the proviso that once it passes parliament it will go back to the people to be finally ratified. to do that you need mr corbyn to be on board. all of the indications indicate he is not on board for another vote. you say that. i don't know yet. i am worried, as you know, that might be the case. what he has put to the prime minister last week, the suggestion of staying within a customs union, has been rejected by her in the exchange of letters yesterday. i'm not sure where we go with labour. if there isn't to be a brexit deal that we know will damage our constituents, and we know is at odds with our internationalist values, if we know that the alternative, then surely we have got to grasp with both hands the only way which we can stop that happening to the country, and stop our values being destroyed by bre

mr. wilson. rep. wilson: thank you. it is really sad to see one of the greatest countries of our hemisphere, venezuela, which was one of the wealthiest countries of latin america -- over the years our countries had wonderful associations with venezuelans, that is just so reassuring, and i believe in the people of venezuela, and i'm grateful that the national assembly has elected juan guaido, and the recognition by 51 countries of his presidency, and this is on behalf of the people of venezuela. i'm grateful for the united states agency for international development. our people need to know how effective usaid has been around the world, helping persons in relief efforts. $97 million has already been provided. another $20 million from the state department. blocked by then maduro regime. what efforts are being made to get around this blockage and what can be done to help get more aid to the people of venezuela? mr. olive: thank you, congressman. basis with daily calls with members of the interim government, talking about w

my name is jacques wilson, and i'm with the san francisco public defender's office and the racial justice committee. obviously, the city suffered a tremendous loss, and i know that mrhi, i adochi, if he we with us, would be here today. one of the things he was big on was transparency and accountability, and about a fair san francisco. a san francisco where we all felt safe. a san francisco where we were protected. a san francisco where people who did their jobs, did it honestly and fairly. and the reason that that is so important in these times is because we've had such a great loss that we've had members from the community who have already spoken out and wanted to know who was going to protect them. the police commission is that protection. and the individuals who are on that commission are part of that protection. they are the gatekeepers. they're the folks who look out for the average citizen. they make sure that folks who are on the police force are held accountable. and that's what ms. alias brings. she brings diversity, she brings knowledge, she brings her experience. and she is going to make sure we have a transparent and accountable san francisco. there is

mr. paulson. >> thank you. >> dave is clapping in the ground. >> yes, you do. we have cold conditions. it could be colder with a breeze. it is cold enough for us. as tim wilson says, jack frost must have made a wrong turn and ended up in the bay area. i would say so. he is not going anywhere soon. this is from yesterday. this is from marsh creek road. that is a beauty we have a lot of those. snow from yesterday at mount hamilton, that was the 8 feet. santa cruz mountains had 2 to 3 feet. looking at some of the 4- day totals at the mountains, it is incredible. 75 at sugar bowl. sierra, 90 inches of snow. squall had 77. norstar had 72. 30s and 40s and 20s. fairfield is 28 degrees. there is a few in the east bay that north. 32 at mineral park. fremont is 33. 40s on the coast because of a north wind about 15 to 25 miles per hour. clouds are clipping part of the coast of the peninsula. looks like you can see these coming down from the north. will keep cloud cover with isolated showers. cold air is in place and a breeze for many. the breeze at half the bay is coming down. lots of sunshine with great air quality. the sun will not be bad but the shade is cold. the c

backbenchers, along with phil wilson, who've put forward an amendment, which would enable labour to back theresa may's brexit deal, as long as that deal, was put to a referendum. mrom our studio in westminster. peter kyle, have you been told by jeremy corbyn whether he is going to support a referendum through your amendment or not? well, jeremy said tonight, and also labour issued a statement actually clarifying what its policy was, which is we will have come as you just heard, a push this week towards trying to get labour party policy through the commons on wednesday in the vote, but then afterwards it will pivot quite decisively towards making sure we can involve a vote of the public. now, the amendment that phil and i are working on, the compromise agreement we are working on makes sure we can have a decisive end to this, and that would be quite clear, andjeremy is being this, and that would be quite clear, and jeremy is being quite clear this evening, he actually name checked us in his presentation earlier, that this would be an option if the front bench option was not successful, he is very open to supporting ours as well. we have both been working very clos
