And this is a case where i would want to see that happen, and we can talk to the City Attorney about how phase approvals work. I dont want it to just be an excavation project and they put a backhoe on it and thats it. I would want there to be the hearing is scheduled, unless there is a Serious Movement towards phase completion for the project. Commissioner johnson supervisor do i hear a second . Commissioner fong well, i make a motion. Are you adding that second . Commissioner johnson yes. Supervisor shall i call the question . Commissioner moore. Commissioner moore id like to make a general comment for the record. I believe the state density bonus law has flaws with it, and if you apply it equitably across the state of california which is experiencing growth, were never going to get where were trying to go, so i want to leave that sitting in the room here because there is something which needs to be considered at a deeper level regarding the particular provisions of that bond.

Thing id like to see, a. And secondly, if you decide to go ahead with this project. It should have a component of Affordable Housing, at least 33 .

We should be building housing in the mission, we should be building housing in every corridor of the city. Im glad we just approved housing in geary, and i think we should be building housing in a district, especially adjacent to b. A. R. T. I agree with the i think the design has gone in a positive direction in kind of minimizing the impact on Mission Street. Unfortunately, that kind of pushes some of that mass to
I started the book with a quotation from Thomas Jefferson the execution of the law is more important but if you think of leadership to get the answer right or the policy right to communicate at and implementing an the argument and make in this book is that president s spend so much time on communication that leaves them little time to think about how they will implement the of policies that were to implement so that involves understanding organizational capacity. It is a piece of the federal government that you give this job to it is it capable . That you are asking us to do . As we begin the National Book gourds plays will go onto the stage, oleary will mark. [applause] can you hear me okay . What a nice night broken to the 2016 National Book awards. Get used to it.

Spinning off like particles, but having an unfortunately galvanizing force for economic and political and social instability in many more parts of the world. Thank you. [applause] thank you very much, professor shelley. We now from the carnegie endowment, they have a central subject of the book is the role of corruption, how corruption is an enabler, facilitator, and you cannot really understand transnational crime without paying attention to the broader issue of corruption. You have been studying corruption in detail in india and elsewhere. What are your reactions to some of those points that professor shelley raises . Sure. Thanks, everyone, for coming. I first want to thank moises for asking me to comment on this wonderful book, you know . The book is about terrorism, organized crime of which i know nothing about, and only under generous definition do i know anything about corruption, so thank you for including me. I want to make a couple of points on the question that you raised ab
