that is a scenario where i was not privy to the facts before this. there is some question about whether those were securities at the time. that pattern in the current environment, attempted trading practices with the specific manipulative attempt, would be something that would be investigated and we think could lead to further action. >> does anybody want to add anything before we bring our hearing to a close? >> i would like to just thank the chairman for investigating these very important issues. there was high quality in your opening speech and i want to encourage you to keep up the good work. >> i'm glad i gave you the opportunity to say that. [laughter] anyone else? no, i better quit while i am ahead. there may be some questions that we would like to ask each of you for the record. we may come to you. you are not obligated to answer them but we surely would appreciate the answers. we will stand adjourned, again, with our thanks to each of you, not just for your testimony, and your direct answers, but also for very graciously moving about to sati

we were privy to the documents and the city attorney had been working and we had this conversation for months. i am just wondering, president mazzucco, if we are continuing this to the next meeting to get an update? it seems to go week to week, and it is something that is important for our officers and citizens. president mazzucco: i agree, i had a conversation with our chief earlier today before boarding his flight, and we received information with input from the chief credit we need to calendar this for the next meeting. what we need to do is review this as a commission as a whole next week. we will do that in closed session because of the potential for litigation and pending litigation. we will start in closed session, and then we will report afterwards about what will be reportable to the public. as i said last time, when need to address this sooner rather than later, and the chief is addressing this sooner rather than later, in the city attorney's office is working on an acceptable draft. but this needs to be on calendar next week for closed session discussion based on the fact th

i have been privy to the rebuttal. i find it to be inadequate. a lot of paper. it looks good. i have to admit that we did the same thing. you get a database of things. you can hire somebody that says they will make use of supply, but i can certainly say from the bottom of my heart, it is not a bona fide effort. it is a pro-forma effort. this complete disregard for your policies, which i read thoroughly -- when you go through some steps and it tells you -- it does not say you have to because there is always language that lets you wiggle out of the whole thing. the language allows you to say best effort as opposed to you have to reach it because there is no language in there. we are very conscious of it. i'm skilled in knowing contractual requirements. there is obviously wiggle room in the first place that allows you to get away from the real compliance, but the honest truth is when someone comes in and seize eight steps that you have to try to go through and basically set our a 1-way thing that says here is a bunch of companies, probably 154 whatever, facets that i could make a

so i'm going to take it today that the target is that we are going to be privy to an r.f.p. in the first week of january based on what i just heard. i don't think anything is going to happen between now and christmas. then i would ask please that at that time we would be provided with some sort of a schedule of how that's going to roll out over the year and what the target objective dates are. i would also like to suggest that somebody from the public and the people who are going to be affected by the efficiency of this system, that their input is part and parcel of the process because i think it's fair to say right now they are not part of the process. it's very much on the inside and maybe i'm wrong about that, i'm open to be told otherwise but that's how it feels percentage-wise. if we can do that, i think maybe we can be looking at the end of next year and given a comment back that we have had done and i hope that will be the case. thank you. president murphy: thank you. next speaker, please. >> commissioners, there is no doubt to try to set up a system to track permits

i'm the last person in america to remember the era of privy tipping, which was a profound thing.people in my childhood did have indoor plumbing but not at the summer cabins. their summer cabins still had out houses and boys who were near a lake, as i was, occasionally did this out of extreme boredom you would hang around in the woods in the evening as the sun went down and in particular you were watching harold star's cabin. he was the publisher of the paper. he was a good republican. and he made a good target. he had an outhouse behind his cabin. and you knew that inevitably he would make that walk down that path in the darkness. he knew that we were there. this was not a surprise. he knew that we were waiting out there and he knew what we had in mind because he had been young himself. so as he came out the cabin door, he yelled at us. i know you're out there. and he brandished a shotgun. thinking it would scare us off. it didn't. it was just a challenge, that's all. he went into the outhouse and when he closed the door, we came sneaking down through the tall grass until we were

may have been over these past 10 years one of a perception that endures the those of us who are not privy to all that john and those involved in the litigation are the appearance of the executive unilateralism. that has been the principal complaint laid at the feet of the administration and one might say where was congress? there simply might be institutional limitations by virtue of the partisan nature in the emergence of political parties and so forth. working on capitol hill during the days of vietnam, i heard j. william fulbright. i heard the president's own party stand against vietnam and i saw eugene mccarthy make the decision to challenge the president. this is really all about the war. obviously, this will come down to a position and a situation of leadership and this sense of how important is this issue and how do we disagree? one of the top 10 stories is that the congress did not disagree openly, overtly enough to prevent what is now seen in retrospect as executive unilateralism. >> i agree completely with ken stark and john's earlier comments that it is a matter of political wi

there may be a perception that and doors, to those that are not privy to the litigation, are aware of and that is the appearance of the executive unilateralism. that has been, i think, the principal complaint of the administration. one might say, well, where was congress? and kathleen has well articulated the case that there may simply be institutional limitations by virtue of the partisan nature of the merchant political parties and so forth. i say two cheers for congress, because as a young pop on capitol hill, working however only part-time, during the days of vietnam, i heard j. william fulbright. i heard the president's stand up against vietnam. i saw eugene mccarthy make the decision or announced the decision to in fact challenged the president of his own party. really all about the war. so it obviously will come down to a position and to a situation of leadership and the sense of, you know, how important is this issue, and how much do we disagree? one of the untold stories of the last 10 years is that congress did not disagree openly, overly enough to prevent what is now seen i

i would tend to take a senator kyl's word, but have not been privy to discussions. it is hard to judge from the outside. again, i think that is another case that is demonstrative of the world, trying to describe a very broad and general way. these are the kinds of nuclear issues that we are likely to see more of. and for which we do not have a very good response, which are only tangentially related to either our overall relations with russia and our arms control, but again, my point is not that it is bad, it does raise some important issues that need to be addressed. i would agree about the need for investment elsewhere. we're not devoting most of our efforts to the most critical nuclear problems that we face navajo and will only get greater in the future. >> let me address the first question, i believe it had to do with the obama administration's policy concerning nuclear zero. let me point you to the 2010 revue that the administration produced and by and large is a very good document. i think if you look at that document, what it says is that movement toward non-

you know, i was not privy to how all these things came about, but i thought the commission said two things. one was that the united states has to rethink its role. i think the discussion of cutting bases by 1divided bythere was more about that than about savings -- cutting basese was more about that than about savings. we are getting a little tangled in this debate. i think that it might be, not here, but maybe that is the debate we should be having. i start with a set of assumptions about the wall we have in the world. there is another way of looking at the united states -- i start with a set of assumptions about the role we have in the world. you're talking about a substantial retraction of our role. if we all agree on our role, there is not enough savings in the defense budget to spend a lot of time on it. it is not that we cannot find it weapons program that is stupid. many are wasteful. increase, ability is and now they are creating ships that can go 1500 nautical miles, and will cause all kinds of problems for us to operate in that space. it will require innovation and duplications,

speaker, for anyone who may not otherwise may have been privy to her observations. this is her article, "crises are exploding throughout the world and the leader of the free world is making things worse." and i'm quoting. on the korean peninsula, north korea just upended eight years of state department by showing a team of nuclear scientists its collection of thousands of state -of-the-art centrifuges. and just to op off the show is steven bosworth, was arguing that this revelation is not a crisis. the north fired an unprovoked shelling at south korea which says it is a crisis. but the obama administration remains unmoved. on tuesday, defense secretary robert gates, thanked his south korean counterpart for showing restraint. on thursday, kim resigned in disgays for that restraint. the you has spoken strongly of not allowing north korea's aggression to go unanswered, but in practice, its only answer is to try to tempt north korea back to multi lateral disarma meant talks that will go no where because north korea supports it. contrary to what president obama claims, c

one of the privy traders did confess that he was in fact the person who shot mr. costa.done it with others and none of those others or him. with the family believes otherwise, they say a jury convicted him of killing their loved ones and the only witness to testify at risk from life by coming forward and telling the truth. >> not being elated and coming forward she was given an award by the city for being one of the top citizens and risking her life. >> my cousin was a three of his friends they all point of us that he was the shooter. their lives still, we're planning that they come forward to help us make sure the d.a. does give justice to our family. >> his attorneys will request bell and the d.a.'s office has a dirty said they will ask the judge to deny the bill requests. they have 60 days to decide whether to appeal the ruling, reach a case or dismiss all charges. reggie kumar, kron4 news. >> right, stan, protest or you want but foster city is the quiet of the year. austerity was the word of the year after people search the internet during the greek debt crisis trees

you know, i was not privy to how all these things came about, but i thought the commission said two thingsnited states has to rethink its role. i think the discussion of cutting bases by 1divided bythere was more about that than about savings -- cutting basese was more about that than about savings. we are getting a little tangled in this debate. i think that it might be, not here, but maybe that is the debate we should be having. i start with a seof assumptions about the wall we have in the world. there is another way of looking at the united states -- i start with a set of assumptions about the role we have in the world. you're talking about a substantial retraction of our role. if we all agree on our r there is not enough savings in the defense budget to spend a lot of time on it. it is not that we cannot find it weapons program that is stupid. many are wasteful. increase, ability is and now they are creating ships that can go 1500 nautical miles, and will cause all kinds of problems for us to operate in that space. it will require innovation and duplications, and you know better than i

that scenario, and i was not privy to the facts before this, and i think is probably a question about whether those were securities at the time. but that fact pattern in the current environment, trading practices that had a specific passionate specific intent behind them would be something that would be investigated and we will take good with the right facts the right facts right about of our rules. >> does anybody want to add anything before we bring our hearing to a close? >> i would just like to thank the chairman for investigating the very important issues. i was very impressed by the eloquence and basically high quality of your opening speech. i want to urge you to keep up the good work. >> i'm glad we gave you the opportunity to say that. [laughter] >> does anybody else -- i better stop while i'm ahead. thank you all. we have a good number of letters from to exchanges which will make part of the record. there may be some questions that we would like to ask each of you for the record that may come to you. and you're not obligated to enter them. we sure would appreciate them. your

situation where we then revisit all of these things for the next year or so and i know that i'm not privy to all the details that -- that all of you worked on for so long. but i do think that when this debt ceiling vote comes up which is going to be in april, may, or maybe it's the first week in june, it seems to me that's the next moment in the senate. and i do hope that -- i've talked with some of the members of the deficit reduction commission on my side of the aisle and certainly look forward to talk to you about the same. but i do hope that there is a way that we actually have a vote on something that's real and not kick this down the road with some meaningless resolution that makes the american people think that we've done something when in actuality we've done nothing and just, as i mentioned, kicked it down the road. again, i thank you and i hope that's the case, mr. president. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. mrs. mccaskill: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that when the senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 a.m. o

on the intelligence committee, you're privy to information you would not ordinarily have access to. when you see and read what the chinese leadership's says when they're by themselves and we're not around in the cameras are not around, they really do think we are a declining country. they think going forward we will continue to be a military power because of our nuclear arsenal, but because our inability to deal with our imbalances and energy independence, they think america will be less and less significant with each passing year on a global stage. that has profound adverse implications for our huge butcher -- for our future in a host of ways. we must not let that happen. and number three, i would simply say -- i am sometimes ask, you know, what do we do to make things better? and the far right in the far left. i could give you the names of at least half a dozen republicans that the country would not be well-served if they were not reelected and continued in the u.s. senate. i could give you the name of lots of democrats, same kind of thing. what needs to change? if you see people
