and for them to be in that school and to look up and see, you know, ed and anita lee's name up there and to know what they did to, and to understand the connection between what they've done and their service and the people who were in that building every day serving them and caring for them, is so powerful. we will never be able to measure the impact that this has on children in the future. this name -- 100 years from now, this will still be the name. some of our school names, you know, at last that long and beyond. this is a a very big deal. it is is something that we are very proud to do. it is an honor for us, also to have mrs. lee allow us to do this. i want to thank her and thanked the lee family as well. i'm sure there were a lot of people who wanted to name things after mayor lee and for the family to say, yes, this school feels right, means a lot to us too. it speaks to what we are doing in the school dressed strict -- school district. i am very proud to be part of this. i think the last thing i will say, school names matter. they do communicate. to children, who they should

and personal and it is an experience and the power and majesty of that awesome power fuel my interest in meteorology and uned at university of urbana champlain and returned to o.u. and using data to improve forecasts giving people a -- as senator inhofe said more time to find shelter when threatened by extreme weather events and unpredictable storms that we -- we feel are quite dangerous. i later started weather technology company based upon that work. i'm a scientist and i'm a storm chaser and an educator and as you know and you've heard i have experience in science policy being nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate under george w. bush and then later on president barack obama. in addition to having served as vice president as research and i also am the oklahoma secretary flft of the governor mary fallon. we live in the time of extraordinary possibilities. the pace of discovery is accelerating and the eco-system is reif with both competition and opportunities for cooperation. and i was privileged to speak both of those sentences here in this room to this committee tw

and the use of pilots and the pilot affiliating against guard active and reserve and with our industry partners that total affiliation it does go in waves and cycles and right now, our cycle is fortunate that our economy is not doing well according to the airlines and they're doing well and that's an incentive. my issue and my problems as they turn into a crisis and we're talking about general goldstein talks about and that is the quality of service and the quality of life and it may be slightly different than an active duty lens and nevertheless, all of the things that we talk about can be put into one of those two categories where an air national guard can receive a quality of life of say, not moving and affiliated with one place, one location and one mission and having the opportunity to fly for a long period of time and it's one thing the reserve component acts as a quality of life and the quality of life and the quality of service and the professionalism and the standards is relatively the same and exactly the same as the active duty and the amount of deployments we do in terms of

>> guest: i was trying to reflect on a long journey and the successes and failures and what worked and what i learned along the way and a little less policy then maybe i would like to have done, maybe more stories than data. i did that trying to write to parents, to citizens, to voters saying as a country we need to rally behind this in a way i don't think we have and i've loved working with you love your sense of urgency and asa nation we need more of that. if i can challenge people to think about this, to vote about this , then it's worthwhile . >> why doyou think people are energized around this . in every poll you ask people what their issue is or every politician and everybody says education. and yet still we don't see the kind of urgency or action around it, why is that? >> it's a tough way to start the book to say education runs online and there are disconnects about what we say we care about and what our actions show we care about. i alwaystry to look at people's actions, their budgets, more than what they say and every poll , the parents and the public you ask does education m

jane said and it's engagement and their behavior issing and they went in and looked at how many people were not on track and they -- and they thought it was the right amount that they should be saving in order to reach retirement goals if they were to retire from the company and they found only 17% were meeting that goal and the first thing they did was try to engage those people and then they -- when they looked and they look at how many more people are participating and then they refined it and added a customized tool where people could have one-on-one attention and then that lifted it further, and they added a retirement tool and it was a little bit -- they're not definite metrics and there's nothing out there that it is this is the way you do it, and a little bit of it is trial and error, but they refine, refine, refine. and it's not unusual to look at a five-year period, and look at how behavior is changing and not instantaneous. >> you mentioned the financial stress test and can you tell us more about that? >> sure. i would be glad to. >> a financial stress test and it would eval

and cities and then networks and the internet and i think for like two years as i was researching and starting to write it, i had the structure in my head and i got to eventually when there's kind of this really challenging thing when you're commit today a structure and you start to realize actually you've kind of been on the wrong horse and, you know, what i loved about the ideas in the book and writing the book is it would jump around a lot and i was too trapped inside the brain and the neuron level chapter and i was trapped inside the city and so i had to rethink the whole thing and that is emotionally draining because you so don't want to have to do that, you know, it's like renovating your house while you're living in it and which i'm kind of doing right now so i feel how painful that is. but i do think you have to get that right and -- and when you do, i do love that part of it, it's one of the things that whenever a friend of mine is writing a book, do you need my help with the structure? [laughter] >> you only get to think about it once every couple of years with the book for

i also want to thank tiffany and rachel and donna and whitney and maria and an incredibly huge hug and special thanks to my legislative aide, carolina morales, who's sick at home but who's probably watching, and who poured her heart and soul and brilliant brain into creating an effective piece of legislation that doesn't just create more bureaucracy or more city positions but is very thoughtfully crafted to put a dent in this massive issue and problem in our society. i want to thank my colleagues for being with us every step of the way on this, especially i wanted to thank supervisor kathrin stefani who partners with me from the very beginning on this legislation. it feels really great to be here today and really, really great to be making a dent in this problem. >> president cohen: thank you, supervisor. any other discussion, colleagues? we can take this item, same house, same call? without objection, the ordinance passes unanimously. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: madam clerk, items 33 and 34. >> clerk: these are two resolutions that improve modification to airport services professio

separation of powers and checks and balances. it's crucially important that no one branch gets to speak for we the people. >> here, let's channel james wilson, underappreciated genius from pennsylvania who wrote the first draft of the constitution, and the first wilson draft is at the national constitution center in philadelphia. it's so exciting to see the first words wilson put on paper in july 1787, resolve, that the government of the united states shall consist of a legislative branch. no we the people, it was a separation of power. no one branch can speak for we the power. our power has to be dissipated among them to prevent tyranny, and slow down deliberations. that's the central idea we have to type our students. the second draft which was produced later in july, contains the words we the people of the states of new hampshire, rhode island. it was wilson who came up with the idea that we the people are sovereign, not the king and parliament as in britain, or not the king himself, and not be individual states. that central

and hauled down here and built. the courthouse was added to because the community was growing quite rapidly. about 30 years after it was first built , a whole new section was put on in 1925. Ãperfectly with the cut sandstone and all the detailing but then along came the 1950s. and people decided that buildings particularly public buildings ought to have a more shall we say modern look to them. and so they cover the front entrance, the beautiful front entrance and the stairs leading into the courthouse with big glass and aluminum and closures area and really ruined the whole affect of the beautiful courthouse. though then along about 1995 or so, the johnny allocated money and decided they wanted to do a big restoration. a top off all those non-historic additions and brought it back to the beautiful structure that you see today. >> so i want to talk a little bit about the founding of flagstaff. flagstaff geographically lies along the 35th parallel of latitude. that parallel was chosen for the route of the second tran

, and so kind, and so wonderful to me, and it struck me at the time and it stayed with me ever since. that's just who you are. and i think that you have been a, a mentor and someone so many of us have looked up to as an example of what it means to be an incredible leader in the community and public servant who lasts a long haul. you've been here in the city fighting your butt off for your entire life, and the city is so much better off for it. and i can't thank you enough for everything you have given. we are going to miss you a lot, and i hope you have an amazing retirement and have a blast. >> thank you. >> president cohen: supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much, director cronenberg, anne for all of your service. you invited all of us actually to go to the emergency dispatch center and there i truly got to see what an incredible operation that you have run there, and how hard all of your dispatchers work and all the things that they have to juggle during the time of emergencies, all the things they have to know, all the different people they have to contact and mai

and these are transition adults who are 18 to 22, and we provide health and fitness classes and we partnered with harvey mill cultural arts and they have funding through the san francisco school district for these access programs. so it's our first time dabbing into that budget. >> i'm glad that you brought it up and this is the last -- the final -- but i'm glad that you brought up the seniors' disabilities, i am blind and hard-of-hearing so i'd be interested in how that really develops to be sure. i went for the longest time and thought that -- well, you get to a point where you do become a senior and so just keep us informed. >> definitely, thank you for your questions. >> co-chair sehaux: thank you, council members for your questions and comments and input. over to staff for questions and i know that our director can add a little information about this information item as well. >> director nicole bohn: thank you very much for being here and i want to thank you both for being willing to field questions that were out of scope for what you were prepared to talk about today. [laughter] thank

when i call secretary mattis and talked to him about russia and china and north korea and syria and iran, should i also introduce a wetlands permit into that conversation? i don't think i should. it's not compatible with the agency. so we're looking at where this mission can be a top priority, can be properly housed. and where we can accomplish these important projects much faster than we're doing today. mr. speaker, this bill also has some important things for us back home, including recognizing the hundreds of millions of dollars in work that our state has done to restore our eroding coast line and the ecological productivity that goes along with it. looking at doing -- carrying a pilot dredge program whereby we can issue dredging contracts over years, over multiple channels, rather than doing one channel at a time, where we can benefit from a commes of scale and again, greater -- economies of scale and again, greater efficiency with taxpayer dollars. importantly, mr. speaker, ensuring that the old river control structure is not managed by a static 70-30 split that was dernled decades

of territorial and maritime disputes and free and reciprocal trade. we cooperate closely on counterterrorism, insuring threats do not grow and threaten to destabilize the region. we do so in a manner consistent with the rule of law and respect for human rights. we seek opportunities to increase our security and defense cooperation in recognition of bangladesh's equitable contributions to regional security and active roles in u.n. peacekeeping operations. bangladesh faces senate challenges we can -- significant challenges we can work together to address in partnership. one is the prorow hinge georgia crisis. hosting nearly one million refugees, the largest refugee camp is now the fourth largest city in bangladesh. we are deeply appreciative of the generous soy the -- generosity of the people and government who have opened their heart toss the community that has suffered greatly. and the united states, as always, is doing its part. we are the largest donor addressing this humanitarian crisis, providing $204 million since august of last year, and we are

for granted, when we turn away and stop paying attention and stop engaging and stop believing and look for the newest diversion, the electronic versions of bread another voice is still moist. politics of fear and resentment nd trenchment takes hold and demagogs promise fixes to complex problems, no promise to fight for the little guy even though they cater to the most wealthy and powerful. no promise to clean up corruption and then plunder away and starred undermining norms that ensure accountability and try to change the rules to entrench their power further. and they appeal to racial nationalism that is barely eiled, if veiled at all. sound familiar? i understand that this is not just a matter of democrats versus republicans or liberals versus conservatives. at various times in our history, this kind of politics has infected both parties. southern democrats were the bigger defenders of slavery. it took a republican president, braham lincoln, to end it. idea ofrats opposed the expanding civil rights. and even though it was a democratic president and a majority democratic congress spur

jekyll and hyde and when he drinks too much he's a bad grie and aggressive and may even be a criminal. he didn't like that question. he didn't really answer it. and my question is, he seemed more angry at the fact that this old stuff is being brought up than indignity that anyone would accuse -- i heard a guy defending his resume, i didn't hear a guy showing emotions that anybody would say he would behave like this. he seemed uncomfortable and seemed to be hedging. your thoughts. you're the expert. >> i had a couple of thoughts about him. first i thought he had a tantrum and showed that he doesn't have the temperament to be a supreme court justice and he also showed that his -- he can be an angry and belligerent person and -- >> yes. >> and it just felt like, that is what he's like and angry and belligerent when he's drunk. can you imagine if a woman came into the senate chamber and screamed and hollered at senators like that and interrupted them and was that rude? she would be taken out in a straight jacket. because it is -- it is judge kavanaugh, he got away with it. i thought it wa

and that's something you have to sustain and preserve and nurture. you have to create the incidentives to make it; correct -- incentives to make it attractive and possible for people to come and spend their lives in these institutions. and we're dependent on that as a conserve because we replace -- country because we replace a larger swath of the government at regular intervals. we're pointing out the costs of letting the defenses weaken over time. the importance of a broader arsenal. the importance of knowledge about what works. but a lot of this is about the depth of talent in the institutions that will be necessary in a crisis. >> mr. chairman, last word. >> it was a pleasure and honor to work with these two men. i think one of the things that was important is the avoidance of turf battles. if you look at military histories, you see in a world war, the different services, the differing groups are sometimes pushing against each other, trying to protect their turf. we early on had sufficient agreement about what the challenge and risk was. but we ha

and museums and major programs. so they spend a lot of their first decades to encourage tourism. and with all those national parks in the east are in the west so the park service was in the tourism business. benjamin harrison never visited the grand canyon in his life and for some reason so three times to make it a national park and harrison became president in the 1880s and not get congress to go along with that. so there was a lot of opposition from arizona. into how that turned into public land. he did make the grand canyon national forest so that was one step when roosevelt came along he was very dedicated to the grand canyon but in a paradoxical way after he was president he went to go mountain lion hunting they saw a lot of mountain lions there there were hundreds that were killed over the years. but then to kill the mountain lions. there is that massive population explosion. and to make this a national park and he cannot persuade jamaica national park. that is still a lower level of protection than what he wa

there's been politics and ever since we got together and little bands and move it up to tribes and cities and anytime there is an interest politics are involved. if you're protecting an interest or trying to leverage and advantage politics will be wrong. i think and i hope that what my books do is shine a light on the competitions that operatives have in this world and also let people know that there is no american dream about the minimum and willing to protect it and politicians get in the way of things too often but i also think the cia been so closely tied to the state department and having to run operations through an investor -- a friend of mine now got made investor to germant and before rick finally got confirmed at the senate there was a whole terrible thing with the cia out of the berlin station where they paid all this money allegedly for dirt russians had or something like this without having the investor there to screen so in that sense there might've been better but i think with the cia being rotating people through embassies and stuff like thateot probably adds to the bureau

relations between russia and europe and russia and the united states and sanctions on russia that's really pushed russians in particular to look further east something they've done reluctantly gradually over time and the chinese have welcomed that but again there's also been a lot of mutual suspicion from the chinese side as well so what we're really seeing is jus a political circumstances driving these two political leaders to move their countries closer together and a lot of that has started with top level political rhetoric and language lots of leader level meetings but step by step it is being underpinned by initiatives the two have agreed for example after a lot of debate and concern that there are two eurasian economic union and the silk road economic belt initiatives in central asia they would try to make them cooperate and work together we've seen increasing cooperation and investment into through central asia and particularly building on the energy relationship and then from china's perspective the military cooperation is very important not only in this kind of exercise in

farmers ranchers and gores and everybody up and down the food chain. as i have traveled kansas and other areas around the country, having a farm bill in place certainly tops the list of concerns i hear about. the economy committee is doing or two, get a bill to at the finish line as soon as possible but along with that i also hear about trade. i hear from wheat growers about the need for market access t sell what they produce i hear from beef producers but barriers to trade preventing their product from entering an export market and i hear from producers across the agriculture industry and all across our value chain about how trade policies impact their prices, their decisions and they're livelihoods. these are not new concerns. the united states has long had to work to overcome barriers to trade around the world. sometimes those barriers are regulations not based on sound science. that might impact specific regions products. sometimes barriers are foreign governments that consistently choose not toed a their or abide by the same rules to which we all

now his novels appear to me to be much more black-and-white and good and bad. they are more like the james bond book. i'm afraid all too often the bad are americans. although there are pretty nasty brits, too. i think there's a certain strain and david of wealth, i think it's an old-fashioned to be attitude that some englishmen of an older generation feel about america resentment of america taking over from our role, predominant role, that was not only exemplified in the event of the second world war and the aftermath but also in the minds of the intelligent officers at the time that david went and that was very much in the culture. and also a feeling of bemusement by the fact that they been betrayed by burgess, mclean, filby, et cetera. so yes, i agree his politics have become more one-dimensional. that is interesting myself. >> i think we have time for five or six minutes of questions. if there are any from the audience. there is one right behind you. >> american spy, oss, based on the playwright filmed by david and hopefully i will be filming kai bird. what

and my neighborhood was home and my friends and i were raised by tough and caring adults that showed us how to take care of each other in community. and i grew more empowered by every teacher that looked me in the eye and told me the truth, counselled me when i needed it, challenged me when i deserved it. if an adult takes the time to show you that if you have something special to offer your community, you will believe it. and it will be your mission to do the same. i had incredibly warm, demanding role models in my rec centers and after school programs. ms. gin, greg scott, north beach pool, mr. fleming, journalism teacher, and my washington high school peer resource counsellor. and all of them made me feel respected, believed and included. they made me want to do for others what they did for me. they allowed me as a child to feel free to explore, have opinions, take a stand, and to grow. and so, of course, i grew up to become an educator, returning to the same environments that i learned so much from to help raise the next generation of leaders that will, in turn, be the holders an

teamwork and hard work and commitment and setting and achieving goals. but his calm demeanor got the message across that no yelling or gavel was necessary. school auctions and food drives and service projects and brett and ashley are always there to purchase of a. that is relatable to everyday americans. in the supreme court justices are cerebral and humble and courageous but i see him bringing children to practice with four games a weekend serving at church running on the socialize with friends. i would like to read his final note to my daughter for the end of the season player evaluation. i hear that every player on the team received the same honest appreciative heartfelt message and stated thanks mary gray sure_athlete are next line athlete and a great contributor to the team. we enjoyed coaching you and wish you the all the best for the forward to having on the team next year keep up the great spirit and attitude and work ethic and he will be a big success in all you do makes me want to go back to grade basketball. thank you for the opportunity to sh

[cheers and applause] >> chief of staff and wife dawn. [cheers and applause] >> secretary of the air force heather wilson and husband jay holmes. [cheers and applause] >> these leaders are here to participate in a dialogue with you about issues important to you and your families. if you have any questions for our distinguished panel, please text your questions to the number displayed on the screen and i will do my best to get through as many questions as we can. so i'm going to get started with some of the questions as they are starting to come in already which is good, a good thing, so let's start with our secretary. madame secretary, one of the good things about our current economy is our unemployment rate is low and as we all know there's a relationship between unemployment and air force recruiting. so the question is what are the biggest challenges that we face in recruiting in today's environment? >> good question. unemployment is at 3.4% which usually starts to be a challenge. we haven't seen that affect our recruiting for this year

and commercial and civil. that's which we'll see here is how our commercial approach actually beats civil goals and is very important for future government requirements as well. so that's the prelude to this, the other piece i would like to point out is this is about u.s. canada cooperations certainly the title of our presentation -- of our day here today. but it's also about canadian leadership. telesat is a company that is lost its slides. [laughter] telesat is mike said is one of the big satellite operators t has a legacy of 50 years of operation, and real innovation in commerc satellite communications. first domestic use spacecraft, dbs spacecraft, really extraordinary world leading applications of commercial satellite communications technology. and what's really interesting is that in new space, we're actually being driven to leadership in new space by our customers. by our customers retirements. what telesat is doing in short is we're about to announce a very big investment in a leo constellation low ear

parks in their areas and rec and park. and the other thing i wanted to comment on was i live right here the outside lands, and i must say after eight years, i figured out how to deal with the parking issue, and it was pretty well run, and i didn't hear many complaints. the main was with muni. i understand the vendor is going to have an outside traffic consultant, and i hope that'll be shared with the public. so, you know, every year, there's always room for improvement. so we'd like to see that community. and also, since the richmond district gets the most impact, maybe a little bit of the funds can go to help pay for a gardener, or have a party for the district one residents, since we have to put up with -- not put up, but make an inconvenience for this one and the strictly harley and the marathon that runs through. they all seem to run within two months of each other, so thank you. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who would like to make public comment under the general manager's report? >> well, i always appreciate

and i'm an eagle scout and so from scouting i know to help people and i used my boat and truck and got everyone that could get out, out. >> thank you so much. and these are guys that came in their boat, and everyone if you are out in the weather, please be careful. >> thank you so much. look, your story ended the right way. there are going to be so many people in trouble. there is nothing like knowing that your vehicle all of a sudden is no longer attached to the ground. so thank god you're all right and the crew is okay and the people you were with are all right. there is a -- a long way to go and people will be there peril. thank you. stay safe up there. let's bring in general jeffrey buchanon in charge of the u.s. military efforts here on the ground. can you hear me? >> i've got you loud and clear, chris, can you hear me? >> yes, i can. thank you for spending time with us, sir. i know you're very busy. told us jt to reassure the people who hopefully still have the power and able to observe the coverage waiting for sun up here and to see if there is a better day ahead for them. how m

and that includes puerto rico and all of the territories come the virgin islands and samoa and so on. del. plaskett: i would add that members of congress may not be inclined to support legislation because there may be a bartering of voting between members on particular issues but i would note that the president requested 43 billion dollars for all of these affected areas and supplementals. it was members of the house and senate who decided that it really should be doubled what the president requested which means that the relationship that the members of puerto rico and the virgin islands, myself, are able to effect change in that area in terms of members other we have a vote on the floor. i am on the floor all of the time and i know jennifer gonzalez and myself have committee votes where you are aware that most of the work of this congress is done. and so i would propose to you that members of congress are very aware of the importance of the territories by increasing that. i think they are also aware that the fiscally responsible thing to do is to do changes to the stafford act and in

people leave vallejo and go to marin county and you can see some stop and go traffic over that bridge. other than that, it looks good. if you wonder about marin county, that freeway looks good from novato through san rafael and the golden gate bridge. speaking of approaching the bay bridge, traffic is moving okay. metering lights are on and traffic is delayed about 10 minutes before making it onto the span. not bad for this time of the morning. 5:31 a let's go back to the desk. >>> cruz in north carolina are using helicopters and boats to rising floodwaters. the death toll is 32 and the storm is expected to drop more heavy rain through today with emergency responders working around-the-clock to help people in wilmington, which was cut off by flooding. members of the coast guard are flying countless missions in an effort to find survivors. >> it's devastating to see and you see this on the news but when you fly over in the helicopters and take it in at once, seeing houses underwater and seeing people standing on their porches and that gentleman on his roof, these people are losing ever

we also spoke and met with a large number and wide variety of organizations and groups and stakeholders, many more than once. while we must continue and expand our engagement efforts as the project moves forward, we can say with confidence that many of the people that depend on the embarcadero have heard of the embarcadero enhancement project, and have had a fair chance to weigh in. this includes stakeholders in the fisherman's wharf and pier 39 area, troy and several others up there who had told us early on and told us repeatedly that their needs are slightly different than the rest of the corridor which is partly based on the design of the embarcadero in this area, and that a more focused traffic study and look at access to -- was needed, so this led to the northern terminus of the enhancement project stopping at north point, allowing for a separate traffic study that's currently being scoped. this will include ongoing sfmta coordination with the port, jefferson phase two, as well as the ad hoc working group of shake holders to guide in that -- assist in that shepherding and guide nex

time and again our nation has faced adversity and time and again we have overcome it and risen to new heights. this time will be no different. today there is a lack of confidence in our financial system. a lack of confidence that best me conquered because it poses an enormous threat to our economy. investors are unwilling to lend to banks, and healthy banks are unwilling to lend each other, and to consumers and to businesses. in recent weeks the american people have felt the effects of a frozen financial system. they have seen reduced values in their retirement and investment accounts. they have worried about meeting payrolls and worried about losing their jobs. families all across the nation have gone through long days and long nights of concern about their financial situations today and their financial situations tomorrow. without confidence their most basic financial needs will be met americans lose confidence in our economy and this is unacceptable. president bush has directed me to consider all necessary steps to restore confidence and stability to our financial markets and get c

that's the average for today and upper 70s in santa rosa and that's nor mid 70s and then livermore and low 70s in redwood city and mountain view and fremont and san jose coming in for the lower 70s. a lot of weekend events coming on. there's a lot in the festival this weekend and then sunny and temperatures in the mid 60s. looking great there and then the art and wine festival. we will talk act how long the cool weather skeer going last for us coming up -- weather is going to last for us. that's coming up. >>> we have an accident just past the toll plaza, and it's involving a couple of cars. not blocking the lanes, but you can see the flashing rights and the -- lights and the traffic is slow. 20-minute scombrid going to be slower as you're making the way over to foster city and we will keep a close eye on this. that's going and that's going to 80 and then drive there and that's heading in to san francisco and there on. that's a look at the traffic. back to you. >>> this is a little less than two hours ago. and there's the water and waves there and rain fall is posing the biggest thrill

and it ran. and north korea. and russia. and last but not least, i have confirmed i think some very accomplished men and women joined the federal judiciary, including but not limited to one supreme court justice and i think soon to be a second supreme court justice . and i am proud of that record . and i thank you all again for sharing your thoughtswith us today . >> senator whitehouse. >> thanks very much. professor, you mentioned recusal so let me follow up on the recusal question. when you have a judicial nominee whose name has been put forward by the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation and by someone who has been named in open court as directing other criminal activity, in the event that those criminal investigations should ultimately come before the court, and the nominee of that subject and that named co-conspirator is then on the court, it is fair to say , is it not, that the question of recusal is a live in the legitimateissue ? >> senator, it is and i think back to the nixon tapes case where one justice who

, and nuts and bolts of the contract. yesterday i'll hear from you in a second. yesterday a similar item related to this one was heard in the rules committee, and i was wondering if you could summarize for us the labor harmony agreement between the ferry operators. >> so that is subject to a separate ordinance, and that ordinance would provide labor harmony requirements on excursions and operators that offer excursions from the port of san francisco and any waterfront location. we understand that is moving through the process. we have a similar labor harmony agreement as relates to hotel workers from my understanding, and we had our staff testify in the hearing yesterday. we do not find it to be an i impediment to the port. it's in everyone's interest for labor harmony and have spoken to that ordinance. >> president cohen: thank you very much. pivot to the budget and legislative analyst and hear their thoughts and comments as it results to this lease agreement. >> good morning, chair cohen, members of the committee. this

they can get into the yelling and screaming and talk about partisan this and that and process this and that, and they have to decide, do they believe christine blasey ford or do they believe brett kavanaugh? there's a middle ground. there is a middle ground. if they want they can claim, no, no, no, we don't want to wait. they could say this morning, fbi, additional background check, they could say subpoena mark judge. they could do that and that's within their power. >> they absolutely do because they are the balance of the power in the vote, and it's the red state democrats that have disproportionate power. the aba have given this process an off-ramp by saying there should be a delay and full investigation, and that would fit nicely for the democrats designs for delay, and it may not change outcomes but may put to rest some of the bitter questions that exist. yesterday -- we saw high stakes debates before and this was so emotionally raw on both sides. dr. ford came in and very cool and very convincing, and judge kavanaugh comes in hot with outbursts that were frankly partisan for anyt
