so thank you. >> ms. chu: thank you, ms. hartley, the consulting catastrophe -- study that you referenced, that san francisco is the second most expensive place to build, could you forward that to us? >> i would be happy to. >> mr. hughes: the public expenditure dollars that are shown, that's outside of rad, correct? >> yes, that is outside of rad. >> ms. chu: mr. carlson? >> mr. carlson: one, on the summary report, it's quite watered down from last report. and did not include the fact that these are the 2015 affordable housing bonds. and as of what date? i would appreciate on future reports go back, so it's a little more. >> sorry about that. >> mr. carlson: and i really appreciate the detailed report. there is a lot of great information in that. on page 27 of that report, the total number of affordable units that are projected to be created is a 1388. and in the last report it was 1785. so somewhere along the line we lost about 400 units. it looks like about 250 are in the low-income housing that may be from switching from

. >> ms. chu: thank you, mr. thomas. >> mr.hughes: as a liaison from the committee to this bond, i met with mr. thomas and his staff on april 16 of this year. and without belaboring this too much, i'll just run through some of the things that we touched on at that time. on road repaving and street safety bond -- first of all i want to preface it with you have either reached the goals that were set out at the time of the ballot measure or exceeded on those complete. and those that are pending, are pending completion are very close to the original anticipated goals that were met. so on road repaving the street savings bond, you were at 95% of the goals had been reached as of that time. and it is currently projected that you will meet or exceed the original goals set out at the time of passage. so, thank you. and to your staff. outstanding. on the pci, the metropolitan transportation commission's revised pci scores, there was a change in the way that was determined. and that resulted in a new score. and we understand that the old

. >> ms. chu: mr. bush? >> mr. bush: i had an opportunity to talk to kate hard hartley, she was very informative. i think -- a minute or two, to put context into the housing bond. because the housing bond is a little different than the bonds we have. on the others we have the city doing the construction and this one, it's not the city. what happened in many bonds is that there is not as much specificity as you expect, which makes it harder to evaluate, that people are getting what they thought they were getting. that can be advantage in how we spend the money and it can be a concern for people in the community. for example, if you thought a park was coming in by you and it's not going to come in by you, you don't know for sure why that is. what i want to make clear is the that the city is not gaining the bond, it's not playing politics with it. there are developments that require the city to be more nimble in how its spending money. some of the ones that need to be acknowledged is the north bay wildfires, that dest

ms. chu: mr. speaker, i rise in strong opposition to mr. gallagher's amendment to the national defense authorization act. this harmful amendment would add language to the ndaa that specifically targets chinese foreign nationals who receive u.s. pliment or student visas for extra scrutiny by our federal government. if this amendment twor confine itself to the serious issue of safeguarding american interests against foreign political influence, industrial acquisitions and regional global capability, it might be supportable. but this amendment specifically targets an ethnic population in this clint by singling out the chinese who participate in student visa programs and who are receiving employment visas. while there's no doubt that we must take national security threats from foreign countries seriously, including russia, this amendment assumes there's widespread abuse of our visa program from china alone and attempts to paint all chinese students, scholars and employees en s and potential spy -- massee as posen -- potential spies for china. t
