Important. My name is chris logan, i lived on palou since 1999 and moved here from Orange County which is different from San Francisco. I moved to San Francisco because i loved the diversity here. Racially, just everything. It is really excitingi stayed on palou because where love the bay view. It is great place to live and it has a lot of great potential. We have a lot of long time really nice residence who care about our community. It is unfortunate most of the publishty for our community is taken by a small minority of people who are not the long time residence who are really committed to our schools and churchss and the arts. It is exciting to see the whole bay view area become cleaner and prettier and safer. The true signature of a society is fomunitation thorf arts and San Francisco is known for its squarts the bay view is a luchbly conclave of the arts. We have the original opera house there, we have a lot of public art and by public art qu think what the young lady was rirfing
When we interviewed people who were concerned with security, not just be s but be pulled from other parts of the government also, they were not happy, people we talk to were not happy with their role in the selection process. So the pendulum had shifted from security to design. I mentioned there are several examples of our observations as i said before, didnt come from the six of us, they were based on the interviews we did with a hundred people, not all of them obviously opined on oboe and security but many did. So those observations that are in there, it is not my opinion. It is what we got from people who work on a daily basis, will hopefully work on a daily basis with bobo. I am out of time, mr. Chairman. Of the gentlewoman could yield 4 response to this. I will yield. As mr.

Delegated to the europeans, it is the eu that would expand into ukraine, and im not sure, and nato but it wasnt nato expansion issue, which is what i was saying, which is what the russians also worry about. But im not sure if youre saying we should have pushed nato expansion when the germans and others would not have bought it. Im just using it as an example where we do sit back and let them take the lead and it doesnt always work out well. Chris, let he ask yme ask yo question. In your article, you talk about the tension between particularly republicans who want to save the world, think you can do it, but at home, they dont want the government to do anything. How does that get resolved . . Nothin. Nothing, but less than democrat. I think there is a tension between a skepticism of the efficacy of government that conservatives and libertarians share.

Led us to make truly outrageous claims about these peoples commitments to liberty and human rights and democracy and again, it was a bipartisan conceit. And he quotes both george h. W. Bush and bill clinton about how vitally important these peel are. So id urge people to make a case honestly for american high homo homogeny. Arthur vanderburg advised dean atchison to scare the hell out of the American People. And he said he would paint a picture clearer than the truth.
