we also looked at transparency the ethnics commission is the filing for the city and county for campaign finance and other reports they put those reports open the web some are in pretty good shape and some more complicated we made certain recommendations how the data gets posted most of those were commented on by the ethnics commission i city staff and really not up for your review there are certain changes in the lazy we know think may makes sense going forward particularly on reporting on traveling expenses and things of that nature. those will come to you in the future we also called for an anti whether funds had been properly forfeited to the city when taken in by campaigns properly and we've called for sort of revisiting the public records status of e-mail and text messages used in public policy whether the public calendar requirements of the sunshine ordinance we called for the annual report that is specified in the city chart about the ethniccy of those laws to be prepared in writing and submitted inform the board of supervisors and the mayor and hope you'll port that concept the

raised under the civil grand jury report i believe that san francisco needs to be a leader on transparency and neglected for the public to trust in what we do we need to have even though highest ethnical standards around transparency we've made a lot of progress in the recent years there are more things we can have more room to moderate we ought to consider whether or not the ethnics commission has the resources to tobacco pro-active and this report was very wide-ranging and we have a lot of responses what i tried to do as i was reviewing this and would like to suggest i have a number of possible recommendations how to move forward and thoughts around this i'm happy to go through i want to thank you who worked hard on this as well as ethnics for good government and for ethnics in our city for the work working with my office and working today and working in the future with that, again, thank you and let's go to public comment. >> thank you president chiu. >> are there any members of the public who wish to make comments. >> us s i s the problem in the middle east the only solution and the 10

democracy requires transparency, mr. speaker. the public has the right to know the actions that a government takes on their behalf. this principle of a right to know has been enshrined in numerous statutes at the federal, state and local levels. these include open meeting laws, freedom of information act processes and record laws. at the national level, two bedrock transparency laws are the federal records act and the presidential records act. together these two laws ensure that our nation's key documents, whether they be emails, maps, agendas or any other type of media are preserved as a clear record of the government's operation and decision-making process. unfortunately in recent weeks, particularly in the relation to the events at the i.r.s. surrounding the events of loss emails are not's being followed. the testimony before this committee on june 24 stating that the i.r.s., quote, did not follow the law in failing to notify him of the potential loss of federal records of ms. lerner's hard drive. records can be lost due to un

this question about arms control and transparency, it is worth thinking about how we achieve transparency. they have been the only means historically of providing forward. the data exchange and inspections and even the commitment not to mess with the other side' home means, only if they are legally binding in the context of arms control. verifying compliance -- it is the only way we have figured out how to do the transparency we described. we have never had that before and it would be a different thing. the question about whether you are talking about on nuclear weapons or just to teach it nuclear weapons comes up. it is the same principle of nonstrategic weapons. >> this paper changes how we think about it. this is the legal framework -- where the legal from her can be found to ensure transparency. i do believe -- we do care about political issues. the debate was predominated the classic american approach. we have more intensive debate. it is also just a weapon. we have five future generals. we think the debate is not developing. the adoption of second strike capabilities, strategic and

is being transparent. we as the san francisco police department is not transparent why ferguson initials. whatever happened 90 in ferguson, missouri the police arrived the officer's name who is in a chocolate hold. i don't know the facts on the cases but now we've got a police department alex remember him person we were at a meeting that kid that got shot. okay john took the case and according to witnesses what i'm hearing according to witnesses clyde he never do that i don't know let the jury decide that but release the officer's name 4 of them 16 shots fired this kid got hit 16 times but a 40. where's the transparency here greg put the officer's name out there let us look through their file if they've got a history of this no, no, no? they're not going to do it, it's incredible. it's a credible threat there's a credible threat against the officers bull crap. what was the last time an officer got killed after he shot somebody it's never happened in la never happened and boston never happened so i think it

and greater opportunity for citizens vochld from the flow of information to the citizens transparent is one of the best tools for participation in government we invested that theme again and again. we ask for more involvement from the public as the potential projects developing for the ports the rising sea levels the san franciscan need to hear about this planning mitigation for the intrusion of rising sea level waters we asked for increasing transparency for the money our portfolio was underlined by confidentiality we take a note we've not identify who talked to us we met every monday night and held numerous committee meeting we asked about the items of interest we scoured and into the archives of the city and put hundreds of hours into each report. i want to note we approached our trappings with open minds and didn't have preconceived ideas of the outcomes and broadened on the other hand, our investigations and started with a grand scheme and end up with a focused report. the other thing we've realized we put out the report july 1st and realized the local government is not state in

to make sure if they deem a project to be controversial it wouldn't be on the list part of the transparency is for the public to decide if something is controversial things are likely not to be controversial if the public doesn't get an opportunity to say anything i think this is really misguided i know it has good tennis but the wrong the we're going to the ballot asking voters for hundreds of million dollars and now we're talking about diminishing transparency and accountability because that is precisely what's happening here i think we're sending the wrongs message i don't know why this is happening i'm surprised with all the things i've seen as a member of this agency this is the first time i'm what is going on here i don't understand this so i'll be respectfully voting against it i be sure that my colleagues in my district know about this. >> thank you supervisor kim. >> so actually having i have a press conference it downstairs i'm not sure this could be expanding continued i see the benefits of some of it but i agree there are a lot of questions i have about this allocation i like ex

market transparency.the cftc has made substantial progress in implementing these reforms. first, we put in place a framework for swap participants. today, 204 swap performers are registered and we require them to adopt strong risk management standards. second, standardized swap must be cleared with a clearing house so risk can be better monitored and mitigated. in december 2007, only 16% of outstanding transactions measured by notional value were cleared according to industry estimates. last month, 60% were cleared. in addition, last month, an estimatedóÑóÑóÑó> 85% of index default swaps were cleared. third, standardized swaps must also be traded on a regulated platform. there are currently 22 swap execution facilities temporarily registered and volumes are growing. and fourth, rules for data reporting are in place. all swaps, whether clears or uncleared, must be reported to swap data repositories. we have four sdrs provisionally registers and operating. and getting us where we are today, no group deserve

two, very clearly, are not part of transparency in government.no doubt that your organizations have worked diligently with the minority to try to make this hearing good for you. it is not our job to try to make this hearing bad for you. but the american people deserve the truth. not a cozy relationship between the people of your president's party in covering up the on going failure to secure a web site that cost over a billion dollars. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. first of all, i apologize for being late. one of our most important jobs in congress is to help protect the interest of the american people. they demand the government and private companies safeguard their personal information, safeguard their social security numbers, credit cards and their health information. nobody wants 20 get a call from your personal information has it can end your financial life and cause serious financial we can help promote robust entire government in the axzutr% sector. today, though, we have not filled this agenda. today's hearing is our 29th on the a

and whether investors will embrace it with very different transparent ideas about transparency. >> wenot forget that this is their second ipo. well.not go so what are the similarities and the differences? >> the backdrop is very similar. you have stocks skyrocketing. they were reaching every day. he knows how to time a rally. and as you remember it was many time's oversubscribed. pop in itsgnificant first day. we might see a different situation with the parent company. it is harder to get multiple time subscriptions as well is a isger first-day pop but it interesting timing. there are some interesting similarities. >> that did not continue back then. we will be watching this time around. thank you so much. us and sticking with more with you after this quick rate. we will be talking about mover which has been banned from operating in germany. will other countries follow suit? that and more when we return. ♪ >> welcome back. i am emily chang. attack still organization has won a ruling that could halt over in germany. drivers didn't have the permits to operate. they have plan to appeal.

this is not the most transparent in history and the transparency we see here. cms has offered to reach that on the 13 incidents. on the eve of a hearing after an audit is completed to say we have been glad to belief you. one of the most disingenuous things i have seen. they complied with a reasonable request by the general office and it wasn't done. the questions can no longer be dismissed in late july. healthcare.gov suffered a malicious attack from a hacker it it took nearly two months to identify the intrusion. the administrator who was with us here today will testify and we will discuss that in addition to the gao report. i'm sure we will hear that there was no loss of data that this was not the main site and so on. that doesn't change the fact that security risk exists whenever you failed to secure not just the main site, but backdoors. too often backdoors have been what we discovered. in the case of another investigation to this committee, we discovered that the backdoors were something as simple in one case as a stolen laptop on which those who stole it

>> transparency or valuation? >> yeah. >> i think transparency. you need to know what you can believe from the company in order to in the future assess what the valuation should be. but what i think is interesting about also so many of the different things that spencer pointed out, questions about various ipos a lot of those questions are about alibaba's ipo also. mobile monenitization is an issue here. lots of other issues. it's got to grow enormously when you talk about growth and engagement. how much will they engage outside of china and how much should you be counting on that when you're considering what valuation to give this and whether to put your money and all that falls in. >> slava, your take on all of this? it's a lot of education on a lot of big issues. >> yeah. i think it's a huge opportunity. if you look back to 2005 when buydo was coming out and talking about google, ten years later, it's a strong return in terms of the stock. i see chinese companies moving forward in a global economy. there's a friend of mine getting married, she w

the most transparent white house in history. we have put in place the toughest ethics laws and toughest transparency rules of any administration in history. gerri: well let's test. that. for more, "national review" editor rich lowery. welcome to the show. good to see you again. >> hey, gerry. gerri: big questions about recovery.gov. this is the website, followed stimulus money, $800 billion in spending by u.s. government. now they're taking this down as of the end of the month. what gives? >> this is a big pitch, right? a great feature of this law can track everything and for most of us, once something is online, it never goes away. it is literally impossible to get rid of it but sop how the obama administration is getting rid of it. gerri: making magic here. got to tell you. usually can't get rid of anything online. the problem is, seriously, it was we're going to be open. we'll tell you where the money is going. you will always be able to track it. not just recovery.gov, my friend. s us, i'm sorry. usaspending.gov. this is als

transparency international. human rights watch. there is a real international community when it comes to these issues. i would also add that the department of justice and the united states has a unit specifically looking at stolen assets, in particular. if you have hard evidence of that, that is something the department of justice wants to hear about, if those assets are in the u.s. i would encourage people around the world to go that route if you have good evidence that there are assets in the u.s. >> i have to say i agree with all the remarks. the issue of immunity against prosecution is really a big issue. yes, the international movement launched on monday a new campaign to an immunity around the world. that is called unmask the corrupt. it is everything to and shell companies -- end shell companies and increase transparency on beneficial ownership. it is essentially to ask sellers of luxury goods around the world to scrutinize who they are selling these to. the expensive cars and lamborghinis are not being sold to people with s

>> i think they're transparency has gone up a lot here the federal reserve is much more transparent thanwere before. 1990's, wee early did not even explain the monetary policy moves, let alone have a statement in a press conference. as far as the fed is concerned, we are more transparent. of market prices, there have been advancements. a lot more than before. there are still areas of that are stillts more opaque than i would personally like. we are not a market regulator at the federal reserve. this is more other people's value, but i do think increasing transparency of financial markets is a good thing. during the financial crisis, i asked a person a question, the ceo you're talking about, how long would it take someone to decide what a fair rice was, and they said, we can come back in for the price. not a good situation to be in. >> now more than $4 trillion. the fed has said in the long run, it has been reduced to the smallest level consistent with efficient if the mentation of monetary policy. what is the new normal for the balance she in the crisis. not know what monetary policy reg

we want transparent government. but as well, the fbi or epa or those production documents should be adhering to the law. the structure is in place that came in in 2010. let's see how we can work it better. but fbi has a right to council. epa has a right to council. and have you a right to transparency. am i arguing or making the point that you say you now need a system that allows these documents to come forward? >> and what i'm suggesting is the mind-set has to change. both in our earlier reviews, for example, robert hanson matter. very sensitive matter, we have direct access to information. no one tries to interpiazza lawyers in that regard. we are part of the department of justice. we should have and congress set up a system in the ig act as congressman laid out that says we're there to oversee them. if we're going to oversee the fbi, their lawyers should not be going through and deciding and filtering what documents we get and how fast we get them. >> you have just given us a framework. and you're from the doj a

what will the transparency be? will the congress, this time, have some degree of accountability or will be a lot of partisan posturing? to be honest, it's one thing to criticize the president. but over the last 10 years, exactly what has the congress done on the part of either party or in a major committee to really show accountability to the american people? host: from new york, this is bill. good morning. go ahead. >> good morning. it seems to me that the ultimate seeds of terrorism are socioeconomic depair. to me the strategy should be to foment social economic stability in nigeria, etc. do you think they are doing anything in that direction? guest: it's a good question. here's is the real world problem. it is not just economics. it is government, it's corruption, it is an incredible youth -- which is putting so much pressure on the states, that there is no near-term solution. there is something on the web called the arab development reports. they began in 2002, the most recent in 2011. they address these issues

have that transparency, if they can't even get basic information about what is being spent? >> i appreciate the intense interest of investors and others in this issue. i mean, clearly, the comment letters, there have been many. they have been on both sides, and it is an area that i'm quite sensitive to that it is of high interest, but as i said earlier, at this point in time, it is not part of our current regulatory agenda. we're focused on the mandating rule makings. >> i appreciate that as someone who is here and has helped not only device dodd-frank but also supported it. i'll just close on this comment. you know, i would hope that -- this is true across the spectrum, that all of you realize that while you may ultimately deal with significant corporations in this country, that at the end of the day, it is the public who we collectively seek to serve, and that is best served by transparency and openness and an opportunity to understand what companies are doing. whether that's ceo pay to worker pay or whether that is using potentially millions of dollars of corporate funds

we need to be open and transparent and i'm telling you, we have been. the people in lee county know that. and we have worked with them and we're very proud of the fact the state partnered with lee county to bring this great project here and bring these to southeast iowa. >> senator, would you like 30 seconds here? >> i think what's important is to understand, in my business with my wife, that we tax credits in areas that no other developer would go in. we build affordable housing. and on august 21, the des moines register wrote an editorial that said our use of tax credits was appropriate, the governor's use negotiating with forrest, largest one of the most and profitable egyptian companies in that nation, was questionable. a public good by providing housing for low-income iowans. he's providing additional dollars to one of the most profitable corporations in the world. >> now we move on to a social media question, our first of the night. governor.r the johnny writes, since the governor brags about the deal in bringing the fertilizer plant to iowa, whic

they must be implemented through procedures that are fair and transparent. this is a central issue today. i'm here now because our rules, policies and procedures on personal conduct failed to ensure that this high standard is met. but i want to make it clear. these are very complex issues. our country has a legal system that everyone needs to respect. when there is evidence of misconduct by anyone in the nfl, we need to carefully consider when to act and on what evidence. everyone deserves a fair process. you know i feel passionately that working in the nfl in any capacity is a privilege. something we must earn every day and must never take for granted. the vast majority of players, coaches, owners and employees in the nfl stand tall. not only for their role in the game but for what they do in their communities. to get all of this right, we will bring together our players and their union representatives, coaches, owners, and outside experts who can help us set the right standards and identify the right procedures. i have discussed these challenges with the p

by way of transparency of data. what i would like to do is now turned very quickly to the fact that diagnostics by the way of analytics in terms of how we provide care going forward is based on our data repositories that we have amassed that have accumulated about 580 million claims per year and then analyzed how care can be better provided. how we can take the analytics and give that to the analytic community that is based on evidence-based practices. as an example, just recently about a month ago we announced the go live both what is called the california integrated data exchange. it is a phenomenal movement forward where in california at the anthem blue cross enterprise combined with blue shields of california, we have invested $80 million to build a clinical repository that brings new data, new information to the hands of the consumer where we have 9 million electronic patient records embedded in the system representing 25% of the california population. if that means is now and make live nation has access to a d

you raise a very good point about transparency and how do we achieve it? an accident of the arms control agreements. it turns tout be the best feature of them. i think we should be focusing on agreements that simply provide transparency. without the incentive of arms control agreement which we are unlikely to achieve. we would be likely to achieve the transparency component, the verification. because both sides have an interest in that. i think, you know, russia would be very interested in making sure that we are not mobilizing to attack. we're very interested in making sure that russia does not mobilize to attack in response to these crises. and we're facing a lot of crises these days. i think we will all sleep better if we have those verification and transparency. >> whether we are talking about strategic nuclear weapons, in many ways, we are advocating classic deterrents. deterrents that aren't base owned a particular obstruction but just straight out deterrents. the ability to deter the enemy from fighting because you have capability. to the extent tha

effective you have to anticipate what should be going forward in order to keep track and have transparency in the private dollars coming into the public arena. one of the things that we ail do as grand jury we bring our past references to the work we're doing. and my experience i brought a especially i worked for the public utilities commission and the energy commission i've had experience that makes a huge difference in public policy as the commission circumstantial evidence and deals with the policy issues that are out there against to define policy and it can make a difference we're made recommendations about that you begin to see users as a policymaking body not just an implementation body you begin to meet as committees to keep track of the bigger issues that are happening, the implementation questions that are out there we talked about a hearing officer for the sunshine at the desk to be historic record being kept so again, a level of professionalism could come forward a record is being kept and they could build off the history. i'm going to allow if you will talk about the report ro

i'm transparent. i've released all my taxes. they know these attacks are false. they are not correct. and the people of iowa know that. and i trust the people of iowa. i have nothing to hide. i'm very proud. fact when we found out about confidentiality agreements, i signed an executive order to prevent them in the future. senator hatch and his friends in the senate killed that bill, which would have made it available to the public to know what's in those personnel records and why people have either been dismissed or not hired. i want honest, open, clean government. i'm committed and the house passed that by an overwhelming bipartisan margin. the senator and his friends killed it. >> 30 seconds, senator. >> sure. the fact is iowans don't know what's going on. and if you look at his ads that are attacking me, you would think that i'm the one that's under investigation in the statehouse. but that's not the case. governor's ads are false. don't take my word for it. "des moines register" and their series of articles understood that i had done nothing wrong and they sa
