Held up the arms of moses so that joshua could defeat the amalachites, the greatest enemy of the jewish people. Today rabbi leonard motomky will give the memorial prayer. Rabbi William Gershon from dallas, president of the Rabbinical Association of the conservative movement will give the prayer for israel. And rabbi fred reiner, chair of the atid Legal Society of the central conference of american rabbis will give the prayer for the United States, and they will help us hold up our hands as a unified people in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in israel. And a great thing about rabbi matonky who is going to go first. As they lead us in the prayers, theyre going to do it quite quickly because we dont have that much time today. And thats not easy for rabbis. Thats hard for rabbis. At this historic gathering of solidarity and support, we have to pause for a moment for the memorial prayer for naftali, gilad, ayali who were kidnapped and murdered for so reason other than they were jew

I also serve as a member of the us is used for the Jewish Community federation of baltimore. [applause] but my distinct privilege right now is to introduce our congressman steny hoyer, democratic, in the house. He is a true friend of israel and the u. S. Israel relationship. A leader in the house on proisrael initiatives. Many of us know by going to israel, we certainly see, feel, touch what is going on, and congressman hoyer is one of those people who not only goes to israel repeatedly but takes members of congress with him. He understands the people and the land and the security today,ges israel faces yesterday, and tomorrow. It is our pleasure and honor for me to introduce congressman hoyer. [applause] good afternoon. It is a serious time in which we meet. When history will record that we had the resolve or we did not. Today, all of us are standing together
I have never seen the world more united from left to right. [applause] it is my honor today to introduce be groep the house john boehner, and i will say there is no better friend of israel than john boehner. Just last week, the speaker said. Luntly, israel is our friend andels enemies are our aeneas. Thank you. [applause] thank you all. Much, and you very let me say thank you for bringing us all together. Susane just heard from rice, and soon you will hear from Kevin Mccarthy, the new representative who i think will be a great success. Owe a great of data to gratitude to the man that he will succeed, and that is eric cantor. [applause] term as, erics majority leader might be coming to an end, but he will always be a leader in terms of israel. People try to isolate israel, but we are here today to stand with israel, not as an observer but as a Strong Partner and a trusted ally. And what does that mean . Mean doing on one hand something and on the other hand having words and statements.
Departments or Public Transportation agencies. And i asked for a copy of the comments from the scoping and planning was very good and they gave me a copy and i went through it. [speaker not understood] bart, caltrans, golden gate bridge, et cetera. And very few comments from the public were there because not many people knew about this. And i think its a very important issue. Axile outreach should have been better. Im hoping that the commission will ask the department to extend the scoping Comment Period for another 30 days. There are several organizations and coalition neighborhoods that would like to make comments and the problem is that they dont know exactly what the issues are and how to get the questions answered. So, if you provide us with another 30 days, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Is there any additional general Public Comment . Seeing none, well take the first item from the consent calendar. Thank you, commissioners. Item number 1, case no. 2012. 207c, 201 fol
