square is actually named after the u.s.s. portsmith which was one of the very first official american vessels to visit the san francisco bay area. so i want to acknowledge that and i want to also give special acknowledgement to our fleet week's chairperson, general myatt who has brought special emphasis with connecting up fleet week with the humanitarian assistance and the disaster response that now it's been known to have. i also know that all of our departments are very proud of and very much looking forward to this, general, as we do the leadership training that starts tomorrow. it is the senior leaders seminar, which is one of the highlights that we look forward to in this year's 2011 fleet week. and that is, allows our federal, our state, and our local officials to review our response plans in conjunction with emergency management personnel and responders throughout our city agencies and to make sure that we can integrate that with our military relief efforts and that's a very special, i know we get the practice because i
