corporation preference not to exceed 6%, but not to be less than 2%, to be extended to any company meeting the cbc definition period, and that we have a reassessment period of three years, where in three years' time, we will come back and determine whether the preference we have defined for the status is a good one. is where we want it to be a. so what this motion says is we are going to extend a cbc preference of x%, between 2% and 6%, and that we are not going to make any distinction about whether that company is a local company or not a local company, because that is already dealt with. we have lbe legislation on the books that says if you are, you get a preference, so let's just not go there. let's just say we are adding a cbc preference, which is between 2% and 6%, which will be reviewed in three years. commissioner yee riley: it does not matter if you are local or not. it would apply equally, so if you are a local business, you are entitled to 10%, and if you are local and regional director: can i just make a clarification? we are talking local. lbe could be levi's. commissioner yee riley: 1

the cbc was 19 members when i joined or rather during the time that i served. and it was really a very close-knit organization. we had gomes, and they were very easily defined, and even though we came from different parts of the country, we all had primarily the same goals, and we had most -- most of us had come out of the civil rights movement. so that it was a very unified organization. well, we'll always have it, as ozzie davis said, similar interests, and our interests has to be primarily the african-american community. and when i say that primarily, i don't really mean that each one of us should have that as our top priority. but that has to be part of our goals. and today, it's probably much more complex because you have so many members, and they come from different backgrounds and different states and they come from many different interest groups. they're not necessarily as similar as they were when there were 19 members. but one of the things is the received the kind of status that it has in this country, because the caucus has always been very, very de

and among the cbc's early achievements were passage of the humphrey hawkins act in 1978 to promote fullployment in the balanced budget, a 1983 passage of the federal holiday commemorating martin luther king jr., and in 1986 for the very first time passing legislation that would, that imposed sanctions on south africa for its practice of apartheid. these were all cbc victories. within congress the cbc used its influence as a growing unit within the democratic caucus to push party leaders to a point -- to appoint african-americans to better committees and more leadership positions. and this generation of african-americans in congress held positions on a full cross-section of committees really for the first time. including some of the most coveted committees; appropriations, ways and means, shirley chism went on to rules, and she was the first african-american on rules, and other influential panels such as judiciary and armed services. and i know mr. dellums has an interesting armed services story about getting on to that committee which i'll let him tell. mr. dellums eventually chaired th

rights act, the antiapartheid movement, the environmental justice, there's an exhibit on the women of the cbcth care, and also education policy. and we're right now in the process of doing research to launch our next exhibit, which is going to be on criminal justice. >> the theme of black history month is about women this month for the foundation. tell us a little bit about that. >> well, every year, there is a black history theme, and that comes from the association for the study of african-american life and history. and for 2012, the theme is black women in american history and culture. and so, we really wanted to focus our events and programming to really highlight black women who have made a huge contribution in american history and culture. >> how important is it for young people to know the stories and know the history and how far things have come and changed? >> i think, you know, some of us take for granted that young people know everything we know, but they didn't live or relive, so we think it's important to teach them about where we came from as african-americans, and so they learn

milner baltimore, seeing what the coast guard is doing, the cbc, i appreciate that keeping our country safe. thank you. >> thank you. >> the gentleman's time expired. you've been here well over two hours. i thank you very much. i have one question. ranking member a question also. for the record, mr. smith, he had to leave this hearing. three questions he would like responses to if possible bite end of february. i submit them for the record without objection so ordered and get those questions on to you. a question i have myself is that in a total of 2011 a select group of mexico based trucking carriers granting provisional operating authority allowing them access throughout the united states and eventually permanent authority. section 703 of the safe port act requires the secretary of homeland security and transportation, no later than april 2008. the department has yet to issue those guidelines. november 21st of blast year, chairwoman miller and i wrote an oversight letter expressing concerns about the pilot and january 20th, your staff got back to us, currently drafting guidelines and

i'm listening to the cbc while i'm driving up here and i'm hearing the weather report from the doria and from vancouver, these artificial lines just don't work. so i wanted to see a -- and they are illegal. i worked very hard to get into a fight even though they are illegal. i came really close in louisiana and alabama and kentucky. but, the guys that are running these things are nervous about journalists, understandably so. and so, i end up going to puerto rico because even though cockfights are illegal in all 50 states they are legal in guam puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands, a little contradictory perhaps and as i try to come to terms with all of this, what was odd about going to the cock fight, let me just quickly tell you how it went. the birds first of all are trimmed out to keep them light so that they can jump higher and get at each other easier and that means that their feathers on the underside and on their legs are removed, so looking at them in the plexiglas boxes where they are on display prior to the fights while you make a decision on who you want to bet on becau

we talked a long time and he apparently went back to the cbc members and said the guy is really a cool guy. is not some crazy wild-eyed crazy guy, you know. and intelligent person,, blah, blah, blah. that calmed everybody down so i am now the radical guide but remember, berkeley oakland in the 60s i've maintained was perhaps different from any other place in the entire country. in some places as was the civil rights movement and in some places there was the peace movement but in berkeley oakland, every movement of the 60s emerged almost simultaneously and in close proximity, so we all had to hear each other's pain and sense each other's rage, understand each other's analysis, embrace each other's politics so the black panthers and the brown berets and the peace movement, the amram until movement, the feminist movement, all of these movements emerge simultaneously so this young tall skinny black guy came to washington to represent all of that. so in my second term i said, to be true to all of this, the voice of peace in the arms control and changing our priorities needs to go on the arm

there are a lot of trees on the block. cbc suggest we have a pear tree. these do not do well in front of the house. we do not believe this one is safe. we would like to start over with two new trees. that is my presentation. >> you might not want to make a point about if the tree were trimmed it would be below a size that would require permission. >> that is correct. we knew about in the beginning. good and we went to the people we would have hired. we have not trimmed it to your good region we have not trimmed its. it is over the size, when it comes to the canopy. the trunk and the measurements of the trunk are well within the boundaries. g>> 3 you have a picture? >> yes. >> would you put it on the overhead? >> yes. is it faceup now? you can see the lean of the treat your gut -- aline of the tree. the sidewalk was done within the last few months, so it looks really nice right now. >> the other tree, what was the reason for granting approval? >> the tree is diseased. gooyou can see in this picture f the tree on the left is very small compared to the tree w

when we bought the house there were no windows in the room, in 2005 we updated the cbc to hard but wed is the same size bart you have a restaurant. the plo was still there. what this is just a room that we can have fun in. the story that came with the house that we believe was true was when the police came to rate the speakeasy someone at the front door could push a button and they like on the bar would flicker and people would know that it was time to run out of doors. and there are two doors plus a secret passageway for people to leave as quickly as possible. the asking price of the house is $4 million and compared to other houses in san francisco, it is a tremendous amount house for that amount of money. >> marty: where it is beautiful on the inside. at coming up who will have more on the woman that drove her car in the frigid waters at ocean beach. >> ysabel: first let us take a live look outside in san francisco looks like it is try to clear up hopefully it will buy a mandate--midday. great! at progressive, you can compare rates side by side so you get the same coverage, often fo

the o.j. simpson double murder trial. but on saipan it was a very beautiful sunday morning, and a small plane, a vintage cbc plane took off from the airport there with two very important people onboard. one was the speaker of the house of the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands, and the other was larry hillblom who was better known as the h in dhl. the plane was going to one of the northernmost islands, and nobody was really quite sure why they thought hillblom was interested in building an eco-resort there. regardless, the plane never returned, and this wasn't a particularly big surprise because hillblom was known to buy really crappy airplanes and not maintain them. in fact, one of the islands they'd flown over on their way had a crash, an airplane that hillblom had crashed about a year and a half before and nearly killed himself in. so a number of his friends had declined to make the trip with him that morning, and no one was terribly shocked that this plane had also gone down. however, it was a real shock that larry hillblom was suddenly gone. he'd arrive inside saipan 15 years before, and he'd become a large
