bush eventually met with sutter who came to the white to see him and sununu said sutter came in and as usual sutter in his own new hampshire dry charm made the president feel very comfortable. the nomination then went up to the senate and it sailed through as sununu explained. our fellow panelist today also helped to smooth the way on capitol hill. fred has commented in his oral history that one of the things that he did with sutter was he went to all the guys who had been attorneys general of their states when sutter was attorney general in new hampshire to build a body of support among those individuals. fred said that gets you the joseph liebermans of the world or people who had been prosecutors like patrick leahy or people who have had similar career experiences. and then fred added in his oral history, david's a very smart guy and my biggest concern about his confirmation other than the personal side and how they were going portray him, because sutter was a life long bachelor, there were stories that circumstan circulated about that, but his biggest job was to keep david sutter fr

we want to work with sutter. we want to make sure, though, that some of the issues that have been identified in the past do not occur again. we want to make sure that the interests of the city and county of san francisco are protected and we want to make sure that all san franciscoans are treated properly. and that will require a two-way street and it will require that cpmc and sutter do not repeat some of the things that have occurred in the past. and so it is in that spirit that i look forward to hearing today how much progress has been made and talk about what the future holds with respect to this project. thank you. president chiu: thank you, colleagues. unless there are other introductory comments, why don't we hear from ken rich with an update on the status of negotiations. >> good afternoon, supervisors. if i could have the powerpoint. i'm ken rich from the office of economic and workforce development and i'm joined by staff from the mayor's office, department of public health, the m.t.a., the planning dep

at this point, how well u -- how will sutter do this with being protective of the community. how are you going to the specialists that may be required to be there as well. referring people to other facilities, that is not a vibrant hospital. there is a major problem, any kind of major disaster will really compromise that entire south of market committee in terms of access to care. i think they really have to address that issue. medicare is reducing its reimbursement. even specialists are not taking it. how will they address that issue of finding specialists to treat whatever populations including medi-cal to even deal with this. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker. >> hi, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. i am an undergrad premed student. i will be here representing a doctor because he was not able to make it here tonight. my name is dr. michael -- i am here to represent the committee. i have served as a director of pediatrics and am still working at a pediatric clinic. there is a reduction in pediatrics, neonatal care, and other services. yes, they kept statement

and the great work that they're doing and once again, you know, extend the invitation to cpmc and sutter to recount to all of us here because we do want to see this done and i think we have a real opportunity and i think that it's an exciting opportunity and i think that this is possible if we work together pretty closely in the next few weeks. thank you. president chiu: supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i wanted to thank the staff for the tremendous presentations but also hope that the community coalition that was represented here today can be at the table. i strongly support a community benefits agreement but if that's not the approach, then do your best to make sure that the community coalition is engaged in quite a few of the aspects that were discussed today and like my colleagues, i also want to see a strong rebuild of cpmc but i want to see it done the right way as the coalition has said. thank you so much for being here. president chiu: with that, unless there is any objection, this hearing has been held and is filed. thank you, everyone. colleagues, we still have business to compl

sutter health care 62 undermine humane treatment of rape victims -- seeks to undermine humane treatmentf rape victims. it is my belief they funnel wealthy patients into a new hospital and leave underfunded patients in the cold, which is reprehensible and indicative of the typical behavior of those who seek to aggrandize themselves at the expense of the poor. the agenda in favor of building more misery for profit corporate health care franchisees will likely cause more problems than it seeks to address. we feel it admirable that the board of supervisors, led by such informed and sympathetic officials as mr. avalos and mr. mark, can draft resolutions to end the war in afghanistan, and yet we consider it irresponsible to neglect the more important issues that will exasperated conditions for our burgeoning mentally ill and homeless problems. i ask you to revoke and decide in favor of people, not profits. >> next speaker. please step up.

sutter did step up and agreed to allow us to have our consultant who worked into the cost data. that agreement was come to relatively early on and lucio was pleased for that as well. the cost per day in hospitals is significantly higher than the facilities in center and it is driving the health costs of. supervisor campos: i have to say that what makes me nervous is that we see there are some that things that have happened. even at the state level, we talked about the lawsuit and the -- i want to make sure that we are diligent in how we approach this, so it is definitely a big issue for us and other jurisdictions have issues about how they are dealing with it. >> as costs go up, the other hospitals have come and underneath and shadow price that. i will assure you that the health service's board and the health services system is doing everything they can to try to find transparency so that we don't just kind of turn our budget over to the health care providers. everyone else -- president chiu: on the issue of the possibility that over the next 20 years, there may be an escape cla

well, if they discovered gold at sutter's mill five weeks earlier, then to settle the war the mexicans would have turned california loose knowing there was that much gold there. my answer, again, it's a hypothetical question, hypothetical answer. my answer is, no, because the americans, the whole american army was sitting in the middle of mexico city. i mean, they were finished. santa ana's army had disbanded, they didn't have anything left to fight with. and the same was true with the californians of mexican descent in california, they had been subdued by the u.s. navy and and fremont and the california battalion. they wouldn't have wanted to, but they didn't have much choice at that point, i don't think. anybody else over here? yes, ma'am. >> your next door neighbor in fairhope, alabama, is a good friend, and when i visited her before, we walked around your house, but you were never around. all we saw was a typewriter. i want to know how many books you've written on a typewriter? >> when did i start writing on a computer? i think the first book i wrote on a computer, i think, was for
