Populous states are member of the compact and your biggest states are not. Right. And if you look at the folks who the states that have decided to be part of the physician licensure compact, states like i think its West Virginia and one of the dakotas, idaho. California is not going to do it any time soon. Texas is not going to do it any time soon for all kinds of reasons. Compacts solve part of the reason, but again, theyre only as good as how many states are part of the compact. Right. I think if this were an easy problem to solve, simon wouldnt be spending his time on it there is the question of how easy it is to get it done, and then the question of whether it would work if you could get it done. Its not that easy to get rid of state medical boards either. But while youre in the system of state medical boards, the knack there are some efforts moving forward, it could be that that is the most likely, even though theyre all somewhat less likely way to overcome the professional proble
Lost that day, well never forget them. After speaking to secretary mattis this morning, i decided to address you because theres been a lot of speculation about the operation in in a jury. And theres a perception that the department of defense has not been forthcoming.

Secretary mattis will be here, but as many of you know, hes in asia. Were fighting to defeat violent extremism in west africa. Their presence is part of a global strategy. As weve seen many times, groups like isis and al qaeda pose a threat to the United States, the American People and our allies.

If you think of those enablers as consecutive tissue between groups across the globe, ou

Nicole on floor of new york stock exchange. Well it is almost like we need a little bit of a breather, right, nicole . What are traders saying. They think it is quite okay we have a little bit of a breather. They are impressed we tested thresholds and moved higher.

Florida, puerto rico and the u. S. Virgin islands have been devastated by hurricanes. I first want to express our heart felt sorrow for the millions of americans impacted by these devastating storms and say all members of this committee on both sides of the aisle stand with those affected by the hurricanes. I would also like to thank dr. Burgess, both members of the subcommittee who each recently visited puerto rico to assess the impact the hurricanes have had and continue to have on our fellow americans.

The people of puerto rico and the u. S. Virgin islands continue to face a long
