in terms of overall costs, we said from the outset that a lot of the assets here at the department of health and human services were already folks with expertise in some of these areas. we hired some new people in the private insurance areas where we did not have individuals familiar with that, so former state insurance commissioners and former consumer advocates are now helping to develop programs in that area, but so far we have done a good job at not only getting the regulations out on time, and forming people with this wonderful new website which, for the first time ever in history gives individuals a way to go on the website, type in a zip code and call-up every public program, every private program available to them and their age group and in their neighborhood, and figure out ways they may be able to access affordable health care or do some shopping. all of those things are happening on time and on budget. >> madam secretary, as the house prepares to vote this week to rescind the entire new health- care law, republicans have more than enough votes to pass their bill. another co

at the outset i want to mention in response to something that s said by the other side, this is absolutely nothing to do with the citizens united case decided by the supreme court. that changed not one eye oata campaign finance law. corporations still cannot make contributions to campaigns or candidates. it does not change that. citizens united had to do with the estion of whether or not one los his or her first amendment protections of free speech, particularly with respect to expressions of

they have been pretty difficult because from the outset the president made it clear that we need to restrict our spending. we need to look carefully at what our priorities are. all agencies were asked to submit a budget that had decreases from where we were last year and stop funding activities that had little value in the future. we have a number of new and important assignments. we have had created leaders who have really scrapped their agency budgets to see where it is that their cost savings are. what are the kinds of programs that may have made sense 10 or 15 years ago that do not make sense now. my experience as a governor and serving during tough times and balancing budgets by law because states have a constitutional mandate -- at least we did in kansas -- gives me experience in looking at what resources we have and figuring out ways to move will work. these are challenging times. we are certainly willing to do our fair share. we do not want to jeopardize the real priorities in this department, some of which are high priorities for the president. finding important science and research

at the outset, it was asked, his lawyers for assurance that he would not skr to speak in public. we assured him we were object asking him to do one press conference announcing the lawsuit. as the fellow legal team member puts it, we lied. but we were for given. he put aside his own feelings of public speaking to talk about his experience and how those experiences relate. the ability to education new generations about the jobs that were done. >> it rose to the occasion. his counterparts engaged in these orders. he had become a university pro if hessor and an attorney. he didn't set out to establish a test case. but educated in the public schools, he had a sense of his rights as a citizen. his attorneys gave him the opportunity to challenge the violations of those rights despite the ruling of the supreme court in 1943, he never lost faith in the constitution. 40 years later when he was approached to reopen his case, he was still determined to right a great young. he did that and more. >> in the years of the case, he not only spoke out of the past but applied the lessons of history t

he was not the same at the end of his term as he was at the outset. >> well, steve, thank you and congratulations on bringing this all together. and i was just looking at that memo and what an extraordinary piece of writing it is. and how vividly he captures that trip. and i'm going to come back to it after i, first, address the question you posed. because there is the superficial paradox of patynes to be their man. having been known for vocally bushing the unite -- bashing the united nations and as a strong cold warrior who by the time he left the u.s. senate had written a book on international law, was the strongest defender of the united nations and who was the advocate of dissolving that preeminent cold war institution, the cia, because it had been so ip competent on the issues of the cold war because it had failed to predict the dissolution of the soviet union and because as of 87s i've said the per capita gdp in east germany exceeded that of west germany two years before the fall of the wall, failing to notice that there was not a great number of people crossing the wall west to east.

it was a very questionable issue at the outset of the '90s whether or not the treaty was going to be permanently rescinded and it was important to us, everyone, that it be primarily extended, however much the superpower had been playing games about it. so tom graham was a u.s. ambassador and at one time and active head of the arms control of the disarmament agency decided he would personally go to the capital of all the countries that were in any doubt whatsoever about signing, and negotiate with their leaders. and he spent the next two or three years on the road doing just that. and was able by 1995 to have turned the tide and the tree was permanently extended, with however, and rightly so, the more requirements in terms of the nuclear powers meeting their card of the bargain. but it was as you know nuclear nonproliferation treaty wasn't anything that protected the world from having 25 or 30 or even 40 nuclear powers, instead of denying that we have today. dashing instead of the ninth that we have today. i won't say much more about the net, except that, of course, when it finally ca

information available to it, it has to make that information available to the contract, either at the outset, which would have been the best of circumstances, or as the golan. >> -- as they go along. >> the petitioners were removing party. >> that is not a self define the concept. the petitioners are the plaintiffs. >> they were the plaintiffs, and review scheme that was announced them was known beforehand. what we need to look at that? >> the review scheme says the 1986 insurance case, before this contract was entered into, the federal circuit said the mere filing of a complaint immediately vacates the contract and officer's rule. our understanding at the time we entered into this was there was a problem with a contract in officer operating, we could file a claim and make be contracting officers rule off the table. under those circumstances, it seems to me we go to the status quo in that situation, which means there is no contracting officer decision, there is no basis on which the government can make a claim for $1.35 billion. not ahought that was proper payment based on completed work. if

president newlin: not at the outset. >> what can a community of which did you do? >> i attended the patrol hill boosters committee. -- potrero hill boosters committee. there were concerns because they had known the previous tenant. i addressed them. that was pretty much it. >> the list of signatures that are being passed around right now -- who is on that list? >> local residents. >> how did you go about acquiring the signatures? >> these for customers that were coming in. we walked around and asked if they would like something different there at rocketfish. >> any sense of whether the people on that list live in close proximity to rocketfish? >> yes. take a close look at the addresses. president newlin: are you satisfied with the application as it stands now? >> yes. i did forget to indicate that this was submitted -- a revised questionnaire as well. that is indicated in your package. i think the applicant may be was clearer on some of the questions that the commission may have been less clear on. and with the revised conditions and the agreement by the applicant f

at the outset of this process, of this proceeding, i indicated that i have a lot of respect for ed lee, and indicated that i have been open and remains -- remain open to supporting ed lee, and one of the things that happens in this kind of proceeding is that different sides perhaps form, and i think that the dichotomy is such that it creates an impression that the people we are talking about maybe something that they are not. i actually think that those of us on the progressive movement have a lot in common with ed lee, who, in fact, has been a part of that movement for some time, but the difference between ed lee, mike hennessey, and others that have been mentioned here, for those of us who thought above ed lee, and i was one of them, the thought about him as an interim mayor, we have not had the opportunity to speak with him. i think i know where ed lee is on a number of issues, and god knows that he is dedicated his life for fighting for a lot of the things that i have been fighting for, but i would like to get the chance to ask him, to looking in the eye, and do that. i think that

we also did look at impact so there were some scenarios that we analyzed at the outset of the study that were very small and did have some benefit in terms of congestion reduction within the zone that was analyzed. for example, if we just drew a cordon around the downtown civic center and south of market area. what we found, however, is that the zone would be so small that people would begin to drive around the edges and create significant diversions for significant diversions for neighborhoods around the edge.

one thing that we noticed on the outset of the study is that 80% of people do feel they have a viable transit option available to them. one of the things we asked is what can we do to improve that option and how can this program improve that option for you. but again, the different programs have had different goals in mind. in the case of both london and stockholm and reeven rome and milan -- even rome and lillian. they have found -- milan. they have found that after the program is implemented, there are tweaks along the way, but there has been support for it. in stockholm, they ran a trial. they had a demonstration project after seven months. after seven months, they held a referendum. at the end of the referendum, the vote was to bring it back and make it permanent. they implement every single case according to the local conditions and the program we analyzed here is not the same as any of those because we also wanted to look at the local conditions. commissioner o'brien: thank you. president yee riley: commissioner clyde. vice president clyde: thank you for the presentation. >> tha

let me say from the outset, commissioner sugaya, your apology is unacceptable. several weeks ago, mr. sugaya was merely contemplating whether he would apologize or not last week with respect to the matter come engaging another backlash, a telephone call from supervisor at kim, and a nuanced whisper campaign for his removal, his race and class-coated remarks would require more than an apology. who actually endorse to live in the tenderloin? who are the people rebuilding the tenderloin block by block? it is becoming customary for mr. sugaya to cast his remarks as a template that just humor and "can they take a joke" rationale. he evidently slipped, "i suppose it will makes this an apology ia few days, only after a supervisor went public with her complaint. what is also troubling is that people -- and a few of you laughed and chuckled out loud, somewhat unbelievable, that is, that he said it again. who knows what the viewing audience did? i submit that you should have halted the proceedings, especially after his previous remarks in december, and called a recess. thi

but what are you saying at the outset in terms of what you want to see by the end of the year, and how is that being tracked? just so we know. we do not know currently what is supposed to be happening. that was supposed to be given to us at the beginning of our time on the board for this year. commissioner maufas: is that because that was not a part of what was put you as a part of your practice, or is that because the program was already up and running so that was not part of your historical knowledge? >> it was not part of my own personal historical knowledge, and it is a bit outside the scope of what we set out to do this year. but having that additional information does help give a more broad, you know -- it helps when you see and are asking questions under supposed to know exactly what is supposed to be happening. commissioner maufas: it sounds like a bit of both. >> it is a bit of both, yes. commissioner maufas: thank you for that. president kim: any other comments or questions? as a former member of peef as well, i really appreciate your dedication to this process. as we talk ab

that information -- it has to be forthcoming with that information with the contractor either at the outset or as matters go along. >> the petitioners were the moving party. isn't that right? >> moving party is not a self defined concept. the petitioners were the plaintives. >> the scheme was known to them beforehand. >> the review was scheme also says that 1986 -- the federal circuit said the mere filing of a complaint immediately vacates the contrasting officers rule. our understanding was that there was a problem with the way the contract in officer operated, we would be able to file a claim and immediately take the rule of the table. under those circumstances, we are asking for the status quo. that means there's no contracting officer decision and no basis on which the government can make a claim for $1.35 billion. >> you referred to that several times now. i thought that was not a payment based on completed work. the government says that of -- says that money was advanced. it distinguished the $1.35 billion that you legitimately received as a progress payment. >> what had not happened

[laughter] let me say at the outset that, obviously, we want to insure that every single american has access to quality health insurance and health care. the president of the united states indicated in his first press conference following the election that he believed that this bill is flawed. he said that the 1099 provision that was in there that imposes a burden on small businesses in this country needed to be addressed. most recently, judge henry hudson in virginia has determined that the mandate about which all three of you were speaking is unconstitutional, and so we have the executive, the president of the united states, referring to this as a flawed bill. we have, obviously, a court decision that has been made. and it seems to me that the right thing for us to do is this two-step approach that we are taking. number one, it is our effort to repeal the measure. and be, number two, as i said, the measure i'm introducing, have introduced and have many co-sponsors on which calls for us to get your committees working to insure that every single american has access to quality health i

at the outset of the battle for public works formula, he be a lloyd benson of texas, not an easy thing to do, and others about a 135 and austria state. that has been repeated case after case. soon after you establish himself as the champion of new york, he also began to address legislatively large public issues. the first one was in 1983. david stockman had declared social security to be a ponzi scheme. the greenspan commission was formed in order to come up with a solution for social security long-term problems. senator moynihan was named a member of the commission. and there were, made such as a solvent, for at least succeeding 30 years. senator moynihan love being on the commission because they had secret meetings at blair house, and he wouldn't tell anybody about them, and he would sneak off to them. there's much more in the world of legislation. i'm just going, and is the highlights. maybe lawrence will talk about the particulars. the 86 attacks at came along come was important to note because the deduction of state and local taxes was threatened. the deduction was saved largely t

and as i said at the outset, i would here any recommendations you have on how we can address this, but have the opportunity to do that to make the motion in order that will allow that to happen. so i appreciate that. what will do now is for going to proceed with the original jurisdiction markup of h. read nine, which is the measure that i introduced, calling for the committees to proceed with their work on replacements. so that mccaw from north carolina, ms. fox for a notion. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i moved to a trust nine, instructing certain committees to report legislation replacing the job killing health care law with a favorable recommendation. >> thank you very much, ms. fox. any discussion on that amendment? the >> i know members on the site do want to discuss href nine. >> did you not want to offer -- any comments on it? i'll ask mr. mcgovern. >> you know, i would just say as i've said repeatedly all day, basically what you are doing is replacing real protections for people with a piece of paper. that's what this bill is. that's what this resolution is is a piece of paper.

i want to thank at the outset not only the gentleman but the speaker as well for the respect and consideration they have given during this current tragic situation that's confronted us in tucson and the critical injury sustained by our colleague, gabby giffords. i want to thank mr. cantor in particular for his very strong statement as well as the speaker's very strong statement that an attack on any individual who serves is an attack on all of us irrespective of party or philosophy. and i think that we all have raised prayers for the victims who lost their lives, the families, prayers who are either in the process of recovering or now out of danger. and of course for our beloved colleague, congresswoman giffords, as well. i want to thank the gentleman for his leadership and the speaker's leadership and join with our leader and myself in leading the house in what i thought was a very appropriate and united response to that tragedy. we are heartened by the progress that congressman giffords is mang and we look forward to her quick return. mr. cantor, if i can, next week we are scheduled to leave

as i said at the outset, this is a tremendous challenge. ing the goal of meaningful health care reform which we all share will demand an open and collaborative process. the four committees of jurisdiction have a great deal of work ahead of them. this is a process in which we all must contribute, democrats and republicans alike. we have good ideas that are coming from both sides of the aisle and i believe that they will be considered through this deliberative process. these ideas must be shared, analyzed, and debated. if we all participate in -- if we all participate in this open and transparent process, i believe that we can address the health care challenges that we face in an effective and meaningful way. ultimately we all hope to arrive at the same place. we all share the same goal. that is access, access to quality care for all. that's what house republicans want a cheeve and that's what my democratic colleagues want to achieve as well. and that's what president obama wants to achieve. we all have our own views on how we get there. in th
