sir had been removed or rumored, that is, to be fong's replacement. the officers union maintained that demotion was a ploy to remove sir from consideration as chief. we should maintain sir was cleared of any wrong doing in the fajita gate scandal. a formal announcement is expected sometime tomorrow. >> you mention the city has had police chiefs in the past that were at odds with the rank and file and this is a move to bring somebody within the department up? >> it seems that way. especially with a 1400 member rank and file, he's apparently very popular with them and that's expected to go a long way, particularly as issues come up with negotiating with the union. >> so many cities have been doing. robert lyle, thank you. >>> not something you expect to see in the united states, much less california, but recent numbers show more women are dying during child birth than a decade earlier. that's alarming. elizabeth cooke tells us a closer look at the numbers reveals an even more frightening figure. >> reporter: it's news no mother wants to talk about. crys

>> no, sir. it's -- i can give you just a rough idea of the numbers. >> that would be great. >> sure. we have flown the majority, i think in very round numbers out of 1600 sortees, the united states has flown 950 of them. so we have probably flown 65% of the sortees. as we now get nato into the picture, i think you'll see that u.s. percentage go down significantly. i think you'll see the allied component of it go up. but i think for ballpark purpose, about 60/40 u.s. allied. and just to give you one other number, few don't mind, the actual strike sortees, the bomb dropping, we're roughly 50/50, u.s. and allied. so i think the allies contribution has been reasonable. i think it'll increase a bit as we get into the nato. >> in terms of submarine tomahawk, et cetera, we're the only ones? >> in terms of tomahawk missiles, those were virtually all from the united states. there were a handful from the brits. but for all intensive purposes, the tomahawk were u.s. mission. >> what's the cost per tomahawk

good afternoon, sir. >> good afternoon. my name is doug woods, and i am the cab driver here in san francisco, and i have to tell you, i am not a foreigner. note i used to work at gmac commercial mortgage before the downturn, and when the downturn happened, i got a job driving a cab, and it has been an eyeopening experience, and today, in particular, i have got a bellyful. let me tell you a story. yesterday, i was involved in a very minor accident in front of union square, where another driver, to the front of my cab while changing lanes, clearly not my fault, but today, i had to go to the cab company, and in order for them to let me go out on the road, they extorted need for a $500 deductible. i might get that back if the case comes out in my favor or some portion of it depending on how much it costs them to fix it, or whether they decide to pursue it at all, because they already have my money. i have no way to fight back. in the three years i have been doing this, we have been nikoled and dimed to death. in my previous job

>> yes, sir. >> have these three tools been useful to the fbi to prevent terrorist attacks in our country? >> they have. let me, if i briefly can mention the business records provision that's been used over 380 times. you alluded to an instance where it was used recently. it's absolutely essential we have the ability to gather these records through that provision, whether it be for identifying intelligence officers from other countries. these records enable us to get hotel records, travel records and the like. without that capability we would, would be, it would be difficult to develop the cases and the investigations in that arena as well as the counterterrorism arena without this provision. the roving wiretap provision has been used more than 190 times. it is limited in the sense we have to show that the individual for whom we wish this authority is trying to avoid surveillance. again, it is viewed by the court before it is issued. as i did mention in my testimony we've had this capability on th

greg sir sworn in today. though his presence is not new, it's an added 5:00 we will find out how he does impact of the department in the past, we will show you the challenges he will face as the new chief of police. reiser was sworn in this morning as san francisco is new police chief, the captain of the police department's bayview station was selected by mayor ed lee after a month-long search. that's when former chief cast: it took over as district attorney. jerad stillness here now with a look at the challenges that that the new chief faces. >>j.r. stone: spoke with him one-on-one face-to-face. i asked him when did you find out about this position? he said yesterday. is it great he said. obviously this is something new for him as well. it definitely is exciting. i think he along with leaders realize some serious issues to face in the road ahead. big decisions to come. with that he was in the books as san francisco is new police chief. chief greg sir takes leadership of the department at a very important tim

>> i did, yes, sir. and i... i still believe that the decision i made was a professional decision. >> bergman: many people say, because of this incident, things have changed. >> well, it's directly attributed to this situation, there's no doubt about that. >> bergman: have the qualifications changed for being a coroner? >> you know, i really can't speak to that, because i've kind of been grandfathered in. >> bergman: today, coroners in south carolina have limited access to a refrigeration unit. and there is a new requirement to be a coroner-- you have to have a high school diploma. >> the major problem in this country is the coroner system, in that, essentially, what you're doing is electing somebody with no experience, and it's absurd. how often do you think people go to the polls and say, "i'm going to vote for mr. jones because he's a good coroner"? in some communities, you could run a dead man for coroner, and he'd get elected if he was on the right ticket. >> bergman: i first encountered an elected coroner n

yes, sir. >> mr. you messaged -- yes, sir. >> you mentioned the boston tea party spread south into other cities. it almost sounds as though there were a network of people who were, had the same thought or being inspired one way or another or were working together. i never thought of the boston tea party as being that, but is that really -- >> yes. sam adams set up -- because there was no other form of communication in those days -- set up a series of committees of correspondence or instigated the formation of committees of correspondence in every major city in the country. and they started communicating with each other, and that's how word was passed. that's how we eventually decided on a continental congress for all of these committee members to meet in philadelphia and discuss independence. yes, ma'am. >> wasn't the tea party at greenwich, new jersey -- >> i'm sorry, i can't hear you. >> the tea party at greenwich, new jersey, wasn't that, didn't that happen before the boston tea party? >> which tea

>> i'm comfortable with that, yes, sir. i mean, we deal with ad herns to standards every day throughout our military and nothing will change in that regard. >> thank you. >> it's our belief the commanders have sufficient tools to address conduct that violates good order and discipline. we certainly support the recommendations included in the crwg report to modify the ucmj but consider that mostly house cleaning at this particular point in time and that we have what we need now to move toward implementation. >> thank you. congressman, i believe what we have in place currently is more than adequate standards of conduct for us in all of the things that we've kind of thought through the implementation process, quite honestly, the ucmj, the authorities, and that, was something that was probably the least of our concerns and that we believe the current standards of conduct are in place are more than adequate. thank you. >> there are 63 air force instructions that deal with this issue either tangentially or centrally, sir. out of

thank you, sir. senator castro. >> i think the biggest challenge i see in 2020 with the repeat of 2010 and 2000 is that the census bureau and many government organizations are rare. risk averse to apply new technology. >> why do you suppose that is? >> well, because they are judged mentally on performance and not cost savings. dr. teeseven alluded to this when he talked about overstaffing. people overstaffing technology. they use what they know that all kids in trouble for, not is what -- not what is new and innovative and exciting. >> that is a great point. back to you. similar kind of question, but put your hat on. you are the person who is the director. what would you be focusing on to make sure we get better results for less money? >> two things. one is, i would continue to promote the partnership program so that the relationship that the bureau established with community organizations and leaders are kept warm, as you suggested, so that come the 2018-19 we are not investing large amounts of mone

>> yes, sir. our service deployment distribution command has been looking at that and have basically decided that refurbishing old probably makes more sense from a business case. right now we've been asked by osd to take a look and say okay given everything going on what should that number d., 4000, 5000, where should that be in there? right now they're doing that study with osd. >> and to conclude, this is a bit of history there. where retrofitting occurs in south carolina is the site of the first scheduled railroad in the world between charleston in 1832. thank you. >> thank you. mr. johnson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and to mr. wilson, i would comment that when i've been to south carolina, charleston, i've enjoyed myself in that area, but i would also point everyone out, or point everyone to the fact that i live in the atlanta, georgia, area which is the transportation hub of the southeast. we've got the world's busiest airport, high-capacity. we have approximately quite a few military aviati

sir? good afternoon. >> good ternoon. my name is david, b-a-s-a-d-a. i would like to talk about the big picture, the bread and butter of our industry. on two occasions, there we people but i dropped at st. francis, west and third street. and they told me about their story. picking up people from the fisherman's whf all the way to st. francis, and we charge them $25, and i told them that they should have taken a cab, and it would have cost them just $6 or $8. there are other people who have said the same thing to me. the bread and butter of our tourism industry. not in california. i have en in t industry for 34 years. this is my 34th year. it seems that northern economy. our bre and butter economy is destyed or damaged, i think this will be lost in our trade, and number two of my issues is the status of my two sons on the medallion li. i do not know the word, lackadaisical or lazy. one of my sons looked in october for the battalion. for a medallion. i had the money. chairman nolan: anyone else? i see that ms. hayashi is here. director: the special resid

yes, sir. [inaudible] >> comparison between antebellum washington versus washington of the civil war reconstruction. >> sure. on what kind of terms would you like me to compare it? >> the development today black population and where they were at that time as opposed to -- [inaudible] >> sure. well, let's see. the city grew dramatically during the war, so the black population tripled and the white population also grew very dramatically, and so because as the federal government grew, the government needed to perform all of these functions it had never performed before, and so all kinds of new clerks and sort of government -- are moving into the capitol capital during the civil war, just as fugitives from slavery are coming into macs of the capital is kind of rowing by leaps and bounds in terms of population. washington, the stereotype of washington before the wars that it it was kind of a sleepy, backwater. it is true that many of the kind of mainstream -- very few of the main streets were in any

>> sir, i don't know. our effort stops at whether a decision is recorded as being arrested or not and that's the information that's available to the spot database. it doesn't go beyond that. >> do you have any data about false negatives? i mean, false positives. on the people that have been identified 50 times or nine times or 4 1/2 times? >> are you talking about the false positives associated with arrests? >> no. with -- with arrested or -- yes, sir, with arrests and with prosecution, the ultimate prosecution, etc.? >> yes, sir. we do have information available on that. so, for example, if one looks at the false positive index which is for every person that you correctly classify as a high-risk traveler -- excuse me -- what is the number of travelers you misclassify? we have that information on any of the four metrics that we discussed. so, for example, combined outcome for every person that you correctly identify using operational spot, 86 were misidentified. for the base rate or random study, for every

>> yes, sir. as i alluded to earlier in the testimony, sign cutting is one of the most preferred and effective techniques that the border control has developed over the years. sign cutting affectively requires that a road be parallel to the border. if that's the area that you want to protect, they call it a drag road because they are frequently smoothed over by one method or another. so that evidence of illegal

sir? >> yeah. i'm a retired high school teacher, retired in 2001, and i've been taking classes since 2001. it's a predominantly latino campus, i would say 90%, and i've been appalled. there's a saying in the history, the more things change, the more they remain the same. and i've been absolutely appalled at the conditions on the campus vis-a-vis teaching quality, administrative quality. i'm sure you read, hector, the times' series on the ripoffs in the rebuilding of the schools, mission had a vice president who was sending a lot of money to her own company. anyhow, to me it's basic racism. the latino kids are getting screwed at that college big time. and i would like to know your thoughts on this. the more things change, the more they remain the same, sal. i don't see any difference between now at mission college and what you went through at lincoln high school in the 19 1960s. so i'd like the panel to respond to this. what the hell's going on in this city? >> you want me to take a shot at it? >> d

sir, sir, you need a room for to it in? no? madame, we have family rooms - no? business is slow tonight. three young men, perfect. excuse me. gentlemen, are you looking for a room. we have the best bed. very comfortable and a beautiful big bathtub. nice and hot. sounds good. what do you think? nice hot bathtub. comfortable futon sounds good to be. we'll stay here tonight. thank you very much. this way please. upstairs please. thank you. your well co. and this will be your room. here are your bathrobes and the bathroom is through there and i'm,ihache and if you have any problems, let me know. thank you and enjoy your bath. he puts the three young men in the room right next door to the samurai. nice hot bath. feels good after a day of traveling.

sir, good to have you with us. >> it's good to be with you, erica. >> bill just went through the comments, the president saying he's happy to have the debate. is he essentially framing the debate now on health care and even the budget? is that a debate that the gop wants to have? >> well, i think a little less bravado and a little bit more leadership by the president on this issue would go a long way. i think his speech the other day was more partisan than it needed to be, particularly with republican leadership that he invited to be there. and i think this rhetoric that we picked up last night is consistent with what we've seen so far, is that there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of, you know, excitement, but the nuts and bolts is what we really need to focus on. my hope is, is that both sides will come to some, you know, accommodation with respect to the rhetoric and really focus as the american people want them to on the nuts and bolts here, which is creating the jobs, getting the economy settled. i think the president is right,

some guns were found and that's it, sir. we need more than that today. i'm requesting more of that at the o.c.c. starting now. thank you for your time. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i want to thank the commission for finally doing something about the patrol specials. it is not enough. the report calls for their disillusion. their complete termination. doing that tonight is more than you have ever done before that i know of. i want to thank you, but it is not enough. the report says they should be out of business. i don't know what has taken so long. it has been eight months. you have until may 28 before you can do a charter amendment. time is awasting. thank you. >> mr. johnson, how are you? >> steve johnson, the police association. i just want to bring up the fact that i mentioned to a couple of commissioners. that i can't see where when the o.c.c. does an investigation, police officers have to document the traffic stops they make and when someone forgets about that, how is that a citizen complaint? i don't get that. they always use it as an added alle

>> yes, sir. as you know, we take our responsibility seriously. at the same time, there are several steps that i detailed in my written testimony that describe the process that every foia -- of the 130,000 we received last year, each foia must go through the steps to identify the federal records, the parties who may have information, that we have applied the appropriate exemptions, we have looked at legal issues, and the process has been reviewed to make sure that there is not any information that is inappropriately disclosed or redacted. despite having high standards, the average processing time for foia's in the department is 95 days. that is right now several days more efficient than the department of justice, at 113 days, but it is a standard that we are trying to achieve and surpassed. delays are not appropriate for any foia, and we are trying to mitigate that problem. >> are any of these delays called by -- caused by political involvement? >> as i described in my initial testimony and written testimony, there were some processes that were in

>> yes, sir. >> and yet the wage side of equation, mr. guffey, you testified since 1970 that has been only a fairly modest increase in straight wages in real terms. do you agree? >> that's correct. >> and mr. donahoe, do you agree with that analysis? >> our employees have done a great job from reporter terry stamper, and they have enjoyed raises the track very closely to the rate of inflation. >> and when you say the postal service has gotten a pretty good deal of their employees over the years? >> i think the american public has gotten a very good deal for the postal service and their employees. they have done a great job from a standpoint of productivity and service. >> thank you. i thank you both for your response. mr. chairman, i yield back. >> i thank the gentleman, and i certainly think that you do have to keep pace on the haberdashery side. you know, you have a haberdashery history with president truman, and that alone is missouri and its critical. >> we do have something in common. >> i thank you. we now recognize the gentleman fr

>> yes, sir. >> general ham, congratulations on the new command. just a quick inference. when gates was here last week he said one of the core missions of nato would be the search and rescue. and maybe i misunderstood you to say that was ad hoc thing that may occur, but it seems to me we're going to provide the search and rescue for the libyan work. did i misunderstand a? >> no, sir. you understood it. it falls under the category of what we call unique u.s. military capabilities. we thought were the best suited to do that. >> are those your asset? >> for the most part they are, yes, sir. >> your request for 201 2012 is $289 million. how much out of hide is this living operation going to cost you assuming it goes past september -- are august 1? >> financially, it won't affect the headquarters very much, but where the cost is borne is with our service components. in this case, particularly the air force and navy service components, commands or africom who have soared the ships, aircraft and personne
