Again. [applause] thank you monique. Thank you for those acknowledgments of the port and staff involved in this project but we want to ask a couple of key partners to speak on these project and their participation and particularly the parks and recreation department, the key partner with the port. As monique mentioned in 2008 they lead a campaign to get 185 million of park bonds, a portion was made available to the port and used for the blue green way projects. That partnership has lead to ongoing partnerships specifically to the eco center and like the mayor said we are working together in 2012 to get will additional park bonds and with they would like to introduce Phil Ginsburg director. [applause] good morning everybody. So i havent been able to let it go either. So yesterday our city celebrated a huge victory in the world of sports; right.

Energy and funds were being focused on the northern waterfront and requested whether or not we could do more in the southern waterfront and i think these projects are an example of how we responded to that challenge, so Monique Moyer executive director. [applause] good morning and thank you. It is wonderful to see so many of our friends and supporters and hard workers here today. How many of you are here at herons head for the first time .

You heard about that from the mayor already and part of it is San Francisco moving forward in a way that other cities just dont do.

Suddenly appear like mayor will be delivering 100 turkes, 150 turkeys to the school for that we are very thankful. Mayor, we are celebrating thanksgiving with 3,000 of the very lowincome seniors in chinatown. And as of now i think that we got all the turkeys covered. Thank you very much. [laughter] and the gratifying thing is we have a lot of volunteers this year. We have so many volunteers that we had to put a stop last friday and say, we have no more space to put you. So, i think that people feel that around thanksgiving and christmas is not just a time to spend with our own families, but really a time to give back to the community.

Educational objectives that can be achieved at the moon. The case for human a mission to astroid should be visionary the focus on practical applications. This is a reflect did reflection of the values we hold. It is not just our dna. It is our values. Be our nation not defined by blood or religion but a conscious choice. In shaping the International Environment for space activity, the u. S. Should build a more prosperous world in which our values are taken beyond. We should also exercise some humility in facing the unknown. In their time these projects were controversial and criticized. Who today would have said they should not have been done .

Companies that operate the capabilities. In think this committee for holding this hearing today. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you. I think a
