when you're on the intelligence committee are privy to some information that ordinarily you wouldn't have access to, and when you see and read what the chinese leadership says, when they are by themselves and we are not around and the cameras are not around, they really do think we are a declining power. they think going forward that we will continue to be a military power because of our nuclear arsenal, but because of our inability or unwillingness to deal with our financial imbalances and energy independence, the just think that america is going to be an eclipse and be less and less significant with each passing year on the global stage, and that has profound adverse implications for our future and a whole host of ways. we must not let that happen. that's number two. and number three, i would simply say i am sometimes asked what is going to take to make things better and that is what we've been talking about today. you've got the far right and the far left. i could give you the name, the names of at least half a dozen republicans that the country wouldn't be well served if they wer

i am not privy to discussing it in public, but i am with homicide, and i can tell you that things are being done, and i can tell you that leads are being made, and the investigation is going through. those words are coming from me. i can tell you that we are working on it. we did not drop the investigation. we are working on it. i will tell everyone in this room that i have a blackberry that goes off at 2:00 in the morning. members of the ssgs -- fpd -- sfpd respond to these, and sometimes they get confrontational with me when i tell them they have to go home, when they do not want to. i can tell you that the death of your brother has been investigated, and i can tell you that we have leads, but i want to tell you in private, if that is permissible. >> yes. [applause] president mazzucco: thank you. >> thank you very much for taking the time that has been taken so far. for taking so much of the evening addressing the issue of police interactions with people with mental health issues or disabilities. it is utterly important. i want to respond to just a couple of things. a lot of what i

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

we are not privy to that information. you are looking at something i cannot possibly speak to because we have not had the opportunity to look at it. perhaps in the future, all exhibits should be given fairly to those of us who will be speaking before use a we have the opportunity to review the affirmation. i pulled off an email maybe an hour before i got here. i have not had a chance to look at this, and i have some comments, and i cannot do that. perhaps in the future, and the exhibit not having been presented "x" number of times before the hearing should be presented. president olague: thank you. any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. and thank you for that comment. commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: just the thought came to mind when the last speaker was presenting her comments. when we get around to discussing this. ok. president olague: the meeting is adjourned. >> san francisco's buses and trains serve many riders who are blind or how low vision. muni is their lives line to get

we were privy to the documents and the city attorney had been working and we had this conversation foronths. 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 ther

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

say, even those of us from the house who have had the pleasure of working with the president are not privy to those details, but here is what i hope, al. i do hope he will lay out a pretty clear and bold vision about where we need to go to get the economy back in full gear, get americans back to work, and put our country on a fiscal i will sustainable footing going forward so i hope that he will use the boll simpson commission, the president, his own debt and deficit reduction commission, as an example of how we can put a lot of ideas on the table that need to be considered in an open and fair manner, that we should come to the table, open-minded about a lot of these ideas and not immediately say, well, that is a sacred you so we are, sacred cow so we are not going to touch it, that said i sure hope he will remain true to the principles he first ran on two years ago, and, you know, a big part of that was .. making sure we invest as we need to do in a clean energy strategy, that we invest in education and we have, you know, the reauthorization of no child left behind up, and that needs some

democrats looking into the causes behind the financial crisis, the meltdown that we have all been privyo in this country. and they found that excessive risk-taking, a lack of regulation was the biggest blame behind the crisis and the people that they assigned the major blame with were the federal reserve chairman alan greenspan who was in the office before, and the current federal reserve chairman ben bernanke. >> that will sit well with a lot of people this morning as well. >> not so much. >> rebecca, thanks. >> can the markets stay above 12 thousand is the big question, the psychological benchmark. >> we will see. the other big question can we get something that will translate into jobs as we look for more on that. >> people at home are waiting for that. more news now with jeff glor. hi, jeff. >> good morning to everyone at home. >>> egypt violent clashes between anti-government protesters and police in their third day. protesters play cat and mouse overnight with thousands of ot police in cairo and recent events in tunisia and demanding the ouster of mubarak in power since 1981. >>>

they know her personally, so there is a dimension to her relationship, something that i am not privy to. just in the time. she was speaking -- or they were speaking to her in there were holding her hand, you could clearly see you're becoming more aroused and literally opened her eye. first, it was almost disbelief. within a couple of seconds there was no doubt. again, i do not want to say it is just a familiarity, but i think it was a combination of the unexpected from malaria r.d. -- unexpected familiarity. we cannot really quantify that component that family and friends bring, but we know it exists. this is a true example of that. >> one of the congresswomen [inaudible] she said it was like watching a miracle. i know you are doctors. does it ever feel like a miracle? >> we saw signs of this coming, so we were just talking amongst ourselves saying it would be great if this would happen as soon as the president came into the room, because it is not like she was out all of the time. the eyes were flickering and use of this occurring in the fact that the timing was so great was good fo

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, a

i am not privy to csx pacifically -- specifically. the government decided to provide copies to both contractors. >> how long did it take after the sheet was seized by the eads employee we are talking about? how long was it after that mistake was noticed by that employee did eads close it up and get it back to the government? >> what i read was that they immediately stop looking at it. because they were in a secure environment, they needed to partner with someone to close it back down. it was immediate. they wasted no time securing the documentation and a disk that was signed by security. >> and the other company, boeing, also caught the mistake. how long did it take them to close up that disk? >> it was as instantaneous as it was from what i read in the eads documentary -- the eads documentation. >> that is part of the record and people can look at that chronology and determine how many minutes and how many seconds it was after the mistake was noticed that each company locked up the disks and then got them back to the government. is t

they know her personally, there's a dimension to their relationship that i am not privy to.ust in the time. did they were speaking to her, holding her hand, you could see her becoming more or less. she literally opened her eye, first it was this belief. within a couple of seconds there was no doubt her i was wide open. i don't want to say it's the familiar already obvious that she's had her family around her, it's a combination of the unexpected people she didn't expect to show up. this is the part of the doctors have the hardest time with those intangibles we can't really quantify that component the we know it exists. this is a true example of that. >> she said it was my america. does it ever feel like america? >> we saw signs of this coming, we're talking amongst ourselves saying it would be great if the president came in the room. it's not like she was out of the time we saw flickering. use of lights and sparkle occurring. the fact that the timing was so great. was good for everyone. two- point, miracles happen every day. the medicine we like to attribute them to either w

i'm not privy to what specifically was done on the case of secretary rumsfeld, but i'm sure the appropriate protocols were followed. >> [inaudible] you may have somebody check into that. >> you want me to speak to my colleagues, they aren't my guys, they are my colleagues. >> i don't have much time. mick, you've had your shot. >> could you elaborate on the decision to grant permission to the japanese company on the f35? >> when we were in japan you were all aware of this we spoke to our japanese counterparts about their desire to upgrade their tactical air fleet. we think there are a least three products they should strongly consider and we offer to provide them the kind of technical information they would need to make a decision as to which aircraft they want to pursue. the of 35 is one of three. the f-18 as well as the f-15 for the others, but we can give you that. that's where that stands. if i may divert to an unrelated but somewhat related topics, the jay 20 stories that i have seen over the past couple of weeks since we have been back i think have been a little over the top and i read

i'm not privy to the kc-x specifics. but whether it was or it wasn't, there was a minimum, a perception. so the government chose to provide copies to both companies. >> and it was -- how long did it take after the sheet was seen by, i presume, it's the eads employee that we are talking about. how long was it after that mistake was noticed by that employee that eads, did they close it out and get it back to the government? >> what i read was that he -- date immediately stopped looking at it, and because they were not in a secure environment need to go to find someone to partner with them to close at alltel. it was immediately they wasted no time shutting it down and securing the documentation and the disks i in the file that was signed by security reviewers as well. >> and the other company, boeing, also caught the mistake. and how long did it take them to close up that, was it a disk? >> it was instantaneous as what i read about an anti-eads testimony as well. >> and those documents that you refer to do that contain that

inconsistent with at least a preliminary analysis of permission, quick count and other things that we've been privystly not going to address the hypothetical about what happened if the oas includes one way or the other. i certainly think we are just as committed as we were the day after the election to ensuring the people of haiti's voice and vote his respect did and stepping through whatever is the appropriate partnership to ensure that that occurs. >> are you ready now -- or at this point, whether or not cancellation of the election and a redo, is that off the table? i mean, obviously the oas mission clues that cancellation or redo or any of those things are steps that need to be considered. we obviously would be interested to understand how they came to those conclusions, would want to review whether or not those conclusions were one week to thought we could support in what engagement that would mean, whether supporting elections, whether engagement in supporting whatever other results. all those are things we are prepared to entertain, but it would be able to tell you what we would be able to d

one of a perception that i think endures to those of us who are not privy to all that john and those been, i think, the principal complaint late at the feet of the administration. and one might say, where was congress? kathleen has very well articulated the case there may simply be institutional limitations by the nature and political party and so forth. i would say two cheers though for congress because as a young pup on capitol hill, working however only part time on capitol hill during the days of vietnam, i heard jay william fulbright, i heard the president's own party stand up against vietnam. i saw eugene mccarthy make the decision or announce the decision to in fact challenge a president of his own party. really all about the war. so is is it obviously will come down to a position and a situation of leadership and the sense of, you know, how important is this issue and how much do we disagree? one the unfold stories, i think of the last ten years is that the congress did not disagree openly enough to prevent what is now seen as executive unilateralism. >> any comments? kathlee

the results right after the election because it was inconsistent with the information we have been privy to. i am obviously not going to address the hypothetical of what would happen if the issues remained inconsistent one way or the other. we are committed to ensuring that the voice of the people of haiti is respected, and their vote, and that we create whatever is the appropriate partnership to ensure that that occurs. >> william discuss cancellation of elections, and the -- -- will you discuss cancellation of elections and a redo? >> if any of those things are steps that need to be considered, we would be interested in how they came to those conclusions, of whether the conclusions were once we could support, and what indeed that would mean in terms of what is appropriate for us, whether that is engagement or other results. i would not be able to tell you what we would do. obviously until we know what they conclude and how they concluded, we are not in a position to be able to tell you that. >> will you support the extension of office of the president if no new president is declared? >
