We need to make sure the second isdest target on earth through with reality and in the minds of anyone who might take on the secret service to get to the president or first family. Without a recognized the member for his Opening Statement. Thank you. With an obvious premise. No individual should be allowed to feel scaled the fence at the white house, sprint across the north lawn, and burst into the residence of the first family with 11. No one. Our goal today is also clear, to determine how this happened and make sure it never happens again. This is our watch. This recent incident unfortunately causes many people a ask whether or not there is much broader problem with the secret service. Last night the Washington Post reported Omar Gonzalez made his way into the east room. Another incident in 2011 about a shooting raises more questions about the competency and culture of this delete agency. Most about this report is agents said they were hesitant. Agents in this agency said they were h
Revenue so we can get a hold on that issue. One of the examples, one thats got a lot of press not too long parking operations here and received a payment of 483 million to put into the endowment. The 483 million generates revenue every year that goes to support pack faculty but also scholarship support and other things. Those are things i think institutions have to look at, too, with creative ways to that fund the university that is not on the backs of students by simply increasing tuition every year. Those are the kinds of things we need to do. Real quickly because we only have a minute left. Diversity, andne how do you achieve that . Another great question. Diversity to us is on every single dimension. Diversity ofave a income backgrounds of our students. It means a diversity of representations of under represented minorities. A diversity of the countries that our students come from. So there is probably not a dimension that we do not look at when it comes to diversity, because we be
What we are doing is making sure that we are making steady progress. Heading up the infrastructure that will allow us to compete with massachusetts who are doing some of these things long before we were. In the last two quarters of 2013 when we outgrew every state in new england. Tom has made statements, things like not as many jobs as we said, thats wrong. Total privatesector job growth over the time of our administration is much more than 60,000. At the same time government has gotten smaller. Government has gotten smaller while i have been governor of the state of connecticut. Sure, we should be more efficient. Sure, we should be investing in technologies we did not have in our state previously. When i inherited this state because you elected me governor, the Largest Department spending 18 of our money was operating on a format from the effective age of 1989. Im sorry to cut you off. Now onto the rebuttal phase. Mr. Foley. Im glad the governor brought up his experience in stamford.
Questions, please limit your testimony to five minutes. The entire Opening Statement will be made a permanent part of the record. With that, director pearson is recognized. Good morning chairman isaf, Ranking Member cummings and distinguished members of the committee. Im here to address the concern we all share following september 19 at the white house. It is clear the security plan was not properly executed. This is unacceptable, and i take full responsibility and make sure it does not happen again. As director my primary concern is ensuring the operational readiness of the workforce. I have been address it aggressive and injuring professionalism and developing leaders through active engagement with Agency Supervisors and employees i have made it clear my expectations for professionalism and personal accountability. Much of what we do to protect the president that involves information that is highly classified. So i will be limited what i can say in a public hearing. On to number 19 a
Our streets makes the pedestrian experience better so im glad to see those numbers are good but i look forward to seeing what supervisor mar had in mind. Thank you and i want to thank supervisor christensen for those questions i think it would be useful to get the overlay in terms of what programs are happening in different parts of the city just a quick question and i think this is a very important topic with respect to the alternatives do you have a sense of whether or not any city in california has tried to make some of the changes or advocated for some of the changes to state law that are referenced here . Has there been any effort on the part of any jurisdiction in california to make those changes. I dont have information on that but our own city has been interested and probably mta staff can address that better than i can but i know theres staff people working on potential changes to state legislation. I really thought it was an excellent report just a final question about about
