during world war i and summerall became a mentor to reilly junior. he was also very close to junior officers like alvin butler, who was his aid during the war. butler was an emergency officer, not a regular. became an oil field executives in oklahoma after the war, but again remained a lifelong friend of summerall. his memoir is always candid i think, sometimes self-serving, but generally candid articulately about the people that he associated with, those he liked like riley and bullard and butler and those that he didn't get along with so well, including joseph t. dickman and mailing craig who commanded, who were the commander in chief of staff respectively of the first corps in the aef and his troops class-- clash with summerall's in the first division's troops during the incident that i mentioned earlier. went summerall, another individual with whom he clashed, and he has very interesting things to say about this was billy mitchell. went summerall was commander of the hawaiian department from 1921 to 24, or 1923 to 26, mitchell comes to ie in late

maybe lieutenant reilly can tell us how we are supposed to be reading this document. i am talking about when you turn the page. are these separate cases? >> the questions would be the clusters of the names and the numbers and the dates that are on the left of the nims names. >> the process under 3.09 calls for three members of the captain's rank and they review all the nominations for medals of valor, merritorious conduct awards, and they screen them for presentation for the awards committee, the full awards committee, which is composed of all captains, everybody at the rank of captain and above. command staff members all the way up to chief. commissioner dejesus: so nationals still part of the committee? >> that's correct. the department awards medals of valor -- gold medal of valor, silver, bronze. the next highest level awards below medals of valor are police commission commenation, a meritorious conduct award. purple heart, an example of which weigh saw this evening. >> and the date you have under them, these are awarded -- these are the ones awarded this time aro

reilly. >> thank you, chris. mr. chairman. >> good morning. presentations and examinations yesterday uncovered a suite of bad decisions. failed cement tests, premature removal of blood under balancing the well, a negative pressure test that failed but was judged as a success. apparent inattention, distraction, or misreading of a key indicator that gas was rising toward the rig. our investigator team did not ascribe motive to any those decisions, and reported that they found no evidence that those flawed decisions were made to save money. they didn't rule out cost, just said they were prepared to attribute mercenary motives to man who made, who cannot speak for themselves, because they are not alive. but the story they told is ghastly. one bad call after another. whatever else we learned and saw yesterday is emphatically not the culture of safety on that rig. i referred to a culture of complacency yesterday, and speaking for myself, all three companies we heard from displayed it. and to me, th

world war i, and summerall became a mentor to henry reilly junior. officers like albert butler who was his aid during the war. butler was an emergency officer, not a regular, became an oil field executives in oklahoma after the war, but again remained a lifelong friend of summerall. >> when another individual with whom summerall clashed, and he has interesting things to say about that is billy mitchell. when he was commander of the department from 1923-26, mitchell comes to hawaii in late 1923. he's assistant chief of the air corp. and he's doing a survey of military installations in the pacific basen. he writes a report that's critical of summerall's leadership in that department, so that didn't sit well with general summerall. ironically, a couple years later when mitchell is brought before a court marshall board, summerall is one of the officers on the court marshall. the first challenge that mitchell's defense lawyer, dwight mori row, is of summerall sitting on mitchell's court marshall board as a member of the board, so summerall gets kicked off

william reilly said bp was in a rush to complete the oil well and that operators operated on the fly. lyres investigated said they saw no evidence that anybody made a conscious decision to affect things -- lawyers who investigated. >>> the president of talked about living in indonesia for four years during his childhood. they lived in jakarta after his mother married an indonesian. indonesia is an overwhelmingly muslim nation. >>> new adam everett o'clock, -- new at 11:00, those representing the fort hood gunmen make an announcement. -- gunman make an announcement. he is accused of killing 13 people and wounding others. he was in this area before he moved on to texas. >>> new at 11:00, we are learning about some newly discovered transportation funds. -- governor says $1.10 billion -- the virginia governor says $1.10 billion will be given to the commonwealth board. $200 million will go to another area, and more will go to active projects. >>> 7 is on your side with a raging battle that is pending in elderly homeowner over the phone company. -- is pitting an elderly homeowner against th

reilly, do we need to name names, then? guest: we need to be specific, a truly to the proximate cause, of who did what. for that we would certainly name company names. beyond that, no, i would expect that we would be more policy- oriented than the justice department may be in its lead oregon -- it's later o investigations. host: there will be a lot of legislative father and a report, you said. senator gramm, can you give us an idea of where it -- senator graham, can you give us an idea of where that will be? guest: congress -- last summer it did not pass the senate. when the congress reconvenes, this will be among their higher priorities. some of the issues are going to relate back to the last big oil spill, which was exxon valdez. after that, congress passed legislation that was very much focused on the specific circumstances of exxon valdez, an accident that occurred by a tanker that went aground, spilled hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into a small bay in alaska. much of the current legislation oil spill is based

and the the work of janet reilly and scott howgie to bring this to san francisco. volunteers in medicine will be bringing together a team of health care providers who most of them who are retirees who will be providing free medical care, to people who are about 250,000 -- 250% of the poverty line. in the else sexor district, in the outer mission and -- in the excelsor district, in the outer mission, and those who don't have medical care or health insurance. the clinic itself is amazing site. i was just there today. beautiful rooms. lots of space to provide care. an x-ray machine. there's a referral to specialty care throughout the city. it is remarkable thing for my district which has very few services like this anywhere within its boundaries. and colleagues, there are many people in my district who are very proud of this coming forward. i want to congratulate the work of volunteers in medicine. and clinic by the bay, elijah gibson, for her work in bringing this together the last couple of years and a great event for the city. president chiu: thank you. supervisor

to 2:00 p.m., and commissioner dejesus and i will be sitting on the panel along with lieutenant reilly and anyone else from the office who would like to attend and see who would be an additional employee. i'm excited about that because it will help move along the disciplinary cases, and then we'll present the final recommend tunssluns to -- recommendations to this group and see who we need to bring on board. >> he went through all of those and picked up the top five. >> anything further from the commissioners? commission report? president marshall: hearing none, we'll take public comment on item three which is the chief's report, the o.c.c. director's report, and the commission reports. >> i'm going to go back to the o.c.c. report that was not really covered, just mentioned. i would like to maintain this on the screen while i'm going through this if you would. >> if you look at these statistics it says in 20104 47,000 case -- 2010, it says how many cases were filed and how many were resolved. it says there remain 400 cases outstanding. so everybody is clear on that. now, i have to assu

before we do that, lieutenant riley -- reilly, can you tell the commission for each level what it takes to receive an award, whether it is a gold, silver, bronze, or a police accommodation? >> this is from the department awards. where risk of life actually existed and the officer had sufficient time to evaluate that risk. where the objectives were of sufficient importance to justify the risks. where the officer accomplished the objective but failed to accomplish the objective by sustaining disabling injury or death. the second highest award of valor is merited when the following exists. when the officer manifests outstanding bravery in the performance of duty under the circumstances not required for a gold medal of valor. where the officer risks his or her life with full and questionable knowledge of the reasonable danger involved or when a reasonable person who expect his or her life was in grave danger. when the situation justifies the risk, and finally when the officer accomplishes the objective or fails to accomplish the objective due to circumstances beyond his or her control. fina

reilly. as co-chairman reilly has just said, today we will be focusing on the future, not the past. at the future is always influenced by our past experiences, and so will we be. yesterday, we had a very detailed description of the well drilling operation, as well as the details of intercompany decisions and how those decisions played out and contributed to the ultimate disaster. there was in the news reports of yesterday's hearing, a statement that i think was stated in too broad a term. the statement was that there was evidence that they were conscious decisions made to trade off safetyfor profit. i agree with that statement as it relates to those things that occurred on the oil well read itself. those men whose lives were going to be in the safety risk equation, there is serving no evidence that they degraded their own mortality. i think the larger question is the one that co-chairman rlly has just focused on, and that is the reality is thre we a series of almost inexplicable failures in the hours leading up to the disaster. they were a series of actions which are difficult to ex

in district 2 mark ferrell edged out janet reilly, who was kind of a favorite of the democratic establishmentferrell a little bit more conservative. then in potrero hill, district 10, bayview po terrello hill, maya cohen after about 20 more rounds of ranked choice voting snuck in even though she didn't get very many first place votes at all. and that sort of fuels some of the controversy around ranked-choice voting. but all this is related because if kamala harris wins she will leave as district attorney. who gets to appoint her replacement? the mayor. but who is the mayor going to be? and when does she resign? does she resign the same day gavin newsom resigns to be lieutenant governor and if so who replaces her? or could her replacement be part of a deal to line up enough votes to get one person or another to fix -- >> belva: nothing is uncomplicated in san francisco. >> it is so complicated. i mean, you really -- >> how does newsom feel about this? how is he playing on -- >> well, of course there's no love lost between him and the current board of supervisor. there's been a lot of bad blood

and this is reilly making a mess eating her spaghetti. they eat it with their hands and it's all over the face. >> all in her lap. she's so adorable, who cares. >> it's on the floor too. >> those eyes are amazing, steve. thanks for sending that in. reilly is adorable. to send us your child's picture go to myfoxdc.com and click on mornings. i like the music selection too. >>> let's look at our weather conditions across the region. we start with current temperatures. it is 50 degrees. we've gone up to 50 degrees here in washington. very nice. relative humidity is 71%. winds out of the north at 12 miles per hour. barack obama continues to be on the rise. the national nap or satellite radar composite. things are quiet here. roughly along the mississippi river and east and west, you have cloud cover. showers in the northern and central plains. the west coast looks good. l.a. a lot of sunshine today with high in the low 70s. here is your forecast for us for today and the next five days: high 62 and a lot of sunshine. all this week and into and

i apologize but i'm just not familiar enough with the details of general reilly's laydown to render a comment. >> for problem. i know when i talked to general reilly he lives and breathes it and you're just getting into the details so i would appreciate it if i could. and some of the questions we gave you in policy questions you made a comment, it's robust access in space as is the national complex. this is a very flexible, efficient and does commercial as well as military launch capacity. the space development and test wing currently have, i think, two missions schedules in kodiak this year. it has a very unique capability and i don't know if you're familiar with it but i would love again the same thing if you're not -- i would kind of encourage you to look at that and then help our office understand -- help me understand what you see is the potential if at all potential of long-term relationship from your office and your operation with the kodiak launch facility. there's a lot of federal dollars in there to build that facility. it has great facility. as i said, there are already two

we'll have another 15 minutes or so of light befor it gets reilly dark outside. that's what you expect this time of year. nice warm afternoons, temperatures falling down in cool overnight crisp morningings. winds out of the north-northwest at 10 miles per hour. 61 in manassas, down toward quantico, 59 degrees. laplatcoming in around 61 degrees. over toward salisbury on the eastern shore, 54 degrees the current temperature there. here's what's happening across the eastern half of the nation. beautiful weather back toward the west, chicago, minneapolis seeing temperatures near the 70 degree mark. and this huge ridge is building. on the east side it's a trough of low pressure, that's why we've seen breez conditions. the main area has stayed offshore over the past couple days. for the most part we've been on the backside o this trough. with it, we're seeing mostly sunny skies, and just temperatures at or a little abov average as that continues to move out. the high starts to take over. we're going to see a nice week. temperatures nice over the next couple days. windy

chicago police say when they arrested jaime reilly saturday, she was drunk and carrying her three month old son like a football while trying to pick up his stroller. she is charged with endangering the health and life of a child. reason she was drunk was she was celebrating a dcfs decision to call off an investigation against her. now dcfs has taken custody of her son. >>> the crimes left them with deep physical and emotional scars. today two women who survived acid attacks went to chicago city hall to fight for a measure they hope will prevent similar crimes from happening again. wgn's muriel clair is live at city hall now with more on the story. >> you know, as it stance right now, any person can walk into most any hardware store and purchase sulfuric acid with no questions asked. that came out during a hearing of the chicago city council finance committee where committee chairman alderman ed burke sponsoring a proposal to crack down on the sale of dangerous substances like sulfuric acid. sulfuric acid and other caustic liquids are regulated under the municipal code but amendment if a

i always respected jim reilly because the always stood up for the issue. he said that he could not say the president invited himself to this. that was the word throughout the secret service. mr. ballmer -- that offer has no credibility. -- of that offer has no credibility. -- that author has no credibility. he keeps creating solutions to the assassination until they are proving -- proven wrong. he alleges that because he sent me a 22 page letter that i discussed that with jerry. i doubt that i ever got a 22 page letter from this individual until i heard him say it on tv. i never discussed it with jerry. it did not seem important to me. as far as him being an expert, i do not know where the expert part came from. i spent a long time in the secret service in protection and i am not an expert. apparently, he became an expert somewhere in consoling him. i do not know where. >> -- somewhere in pennsylvania. i do not know where. >> describe your relationship with mrs. kennedy. >> we were very close to a very professional. i always refer to her as mrs. kennedy an

reilly got so seriously ill that she was hospitalized and for a long time. three others who got ecoally from fresh spinach died. this little girl is a feisty little thing, but she will -- her growth has been stunted. she will never be the size that she should be. another story -- there are lots of stories, none of them pleasant. a woman from las vegas ate some cookie dough. e. coli was in the cookie dough. she's recovering but not very well. a few days ago the c.d.c. alerted us to another e. coli outbreak in cheese. a brand of cheese sold in the west, including two cheeses in nevada. so why have we waited this long to make our food safer? we're still playing these games, these political games. the answer is nothing more than very, very politics. i hope we can end that today. the vast majority of the senate wants to pass this bill. we shouldn't have just a few people standing in the way of doing something that will help the health and safety our country. i would ask the chair to announce morning business. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the l

this pastoral ten- acre ranch in decatur, texas, in 2004 to raise their horses and their daughter, reilly. but last year, a company called aruba petroleum came and drilled two wells outside their windows, leaving behind this permanent eyesore. >> tim ruggiero: you see over here on this tank? and you see where it's... where it's just been still leaking? >> stahl: oh, yeah. >> tim ruggiero: why is it doing that? >> stahl: that leaking is just the half of it-- they videotaped oozings and gushings. when the state environmental agency shot these hissing toxic air emissions with infra-red cameras, the company was hit with a fine. i keep hearing that this process, the horizontal drilling and the fracking, is safe. >> tim ruggeiro: well, define "safe." safe for who? safe in the process, or safe for the people that are 200 feet away from it? >> christine ruggeiro: they put a concrete casing down into the ground in between your water table and the drilling fluid, but cement doesn't ever crack? you don't ever have well blowouts? >> stahl: in other words, taking shortcuts and human error are endemic

i want to play what reilly said. we'll get your response on the other side. >> i think you and i should go and beat him up. >> listen, all due respect to dana milbank -- >> no, no, no. he doesn't deserve -- does sharia law say we can behead dana milbank? that was a joke, media matters people. >> you wrote a column taking exception to that joke and o'reilly accused you of taking it literally. >> someone had complained about the joke, a reader and he followed up by saying if i went to iran i'd be turned into hummus. i'm not sure that's better or worse than being beheaded. >> did you overreact? >> well, look, i think it's a serious issue when people are suggesting violent imagery as bill o'reilly did. he went after me again on wednesday night after the column. and he can take issue with the column. he can say i'm full of it. >> his issue was that you were writing about fox on election night and said doug shone, the democratic pollster, had appeared. you didn't say he was the only guest, but you didn't mention there had

co-chairman reilly. >> i have a related question on that. you've said that it makes sense to call back when you are uncertain or see information that you don't understand. is it always clear there is someone to call back to? i know that the, some of the companies have, i've been in one in fact for shell, have rooms that, where people monitor full time each rig. i would suppose not all do. what percentage of them would have that? and if they did not have that, you would be getting someone at home presumably who would then do what? go on to his computer and look at the same data? how is that all done? >> well in my experience it's, it's usual one person that's assigned, it would be the person who primarily designed the well or somebody who assisted if that person's not available. there is always somebody on call, if you will. wasn't necessarily a room that you called into and it was 24 hours. if it was something of significance, particularly if it was significant to the, to the success of the well, or the safety of the well. >> as company proc

reilly in our appreciation for mr. sears, an outstanding addition to our team and the many curtesies shell extended to us particularly to our visits to the gulf. we have very much benefited by your assistance. >> thank you. >> you are one of the great international corporations of the world, and do business in almost every significant oil production region. what is your process both within your company and then across companies to share information on incidents, best practices, what new learning -- earlier today we had the deputy director of the former mms talk about an incident in australia which he suggested was quite close to what then happened here in the gulf on april the 20th, and it was his sense there had not been much learning transferred from the australian incident to u.s. firms and therefore, there was not an advancement of the understanding of risk and how to respond to it. could you comment as to how that level of international cooperation on safety? >> i will, and i'll do it in the context of drilling an

and i went over to kevin reilly at fox and pitchd it to him and he wanted to do it.ave leachman, at the top of the list. how important was it to bring her on board or somebody with her credentials when it came to acting? >> she's great. the original script didn't have a lot of lines and she called me and thought it was hilarious and then we added more for her. recently she's decided she's going to lick me. i sprayed some bitter apple on my neck to keep her off of me. and she went in for it any way. but she's great. >> one of the things that i think is great and we see it with burt, the father on the show, you turn it on and see him wearing a caps t-shirt. you like to bring your home town to hollywood? >> those are my teams, caps and redskins and i like to put my characters in the stuff for a couple of reasons. one, i'm a fan, so i like to support it. two, i get wardrobe to get two of everything so i can get free shirts for myself and then i also try to work it into some tickets once in a while. so it's all about trying to get to see the game. >> well then it works ou

interesting that the environmental movement, whether republican or democrat, whether it was bill reilly and roel house and the early republican administrators for the democratic one, sometimes it is perceived as an elite movement and yet environmental justice, this notion that there's a connection between the person on the lower ninth quarter and the person who wants coastal restoration can be a good thing to come out of the in front of movement. the notion that we are all in this together. how is environmental justice or the notion of environmentally call the help and for the work of the epa? >> with its very proud of the fact that it was one of the places that notion from the home in the federal government as we look across the history of environmental justice movement that is clearly where it started. we didn't start with in the epa or the government will body. it was people saying i want clean water, too. there were studies done by united church of christ and others that said hey, you know, we can demonstrate statistically that certain neighborhoods, if they are poor and minority ha

so i think it was mentioned earlier, i think chairman reilly mentioned it, you know, this, you know, good performance also is good safety and good safety culture. so i think it has to be a combination of those two things. >> mr. bosch. >> yes. mr. lewis, you indicated that one reason for the changing plans for the temporary abandonment within the last week might have been as a result of the lack of previous attention to converting this well, making sure this well was available for production well. when in the process of drilling this well was it determined that this would be left as a production well. >> well, that final decision would not have been made, would not have been finalized until they had evaluated the logging data that was run after they td'd the well. however, i believe that there was a fair degree of confidence in their geophysical interpretation that it would be completed. the drilling of that section of the well would have given you your preliminary confirmation of that in that we are now essentially logging while drilling to a certain extent. however, the point of th

again, co-chairs reilly and graham, and other distinguished commissioners. as you know this is my third appearance before the commission. i'm delighted to be able to take this opportunity to continue our discussion both about the changes we've already made and our future plans for drilling on the nation's outer continental shelf. this commission and my agency of enforcement share the same goal, to reform the way offshore drilling is conducted and regulated in u.s. waters. as you know in late june, the president and secretary asked me to become the chief's regulator of offshore development, and their directions were both sweeping and clear, to review the agency from the top to the bottom, and make the changes necessary to give the american people confidence that drilling in our oceans will be conducted in a safe and environmental responsible way. since then, as you know, we've aggressively pursued reform agenda designed to raise the standard of safety. these reforms are ongoing and will continue for some time and they are familiar to the commission, but i'll

jim reilly was saying -- right lee was saying that congress could do a better job laying out real certainly -- there are ways disposal obligations and the dividend treatment for the powers sector that is about to expire. it is very important to them but has a lot to do with the bottom line. if you wrap all those things up, as well as providing a path forward for renewable power through a divorce energy standard as opposed to clean energy standard, that is a package we could have a conversation about, i think. i think you could get some bipartisan support for its attlee's injured in to a big piece of legislation. the legislation had a lot of support. to my mind, that would be the largest constellation of issues that you might imagine congress moving forward on that would have a significant energy, technology, and climate impact. almost all the ceos of the power generation companies agreed to 80% cuts by 2050, agreeing to the president's campaign goal of substantial cuts by 2020. you have a commitment to achieve the goal, and then it came to the table with a policy designed that would signifi
