Cspan is such a gift and as an educator guest via the grade school program. He was here and have been here for a great time. It was in the mid1980s and another student that year was jim nick governed who became a member of congress as an antiwar liberal. He helped end the war in el salvador.

This, 95 to 100 , with great reason. Mr. Cooper. Thank you, mr. Chairman.

Almost none of your predecessors have ever had to do that. When we have a house of representatives that refuses to even open discussions with the senate on a budget for america. Our media environment, many folks back home are unaware of this. Theyre mad at congress in general.

But we will take a moment today to celebrate what is a great day in San Francisco, the Amazing Technology that these machines represent show that San Francisco, we know how to make muni a world c
