Shenandoah valley, bay, in the 70s. No showers most of the year, theres one lonely shower here well south of fredericksburg. That should stay well south of the metro area. Coming up in the next ten minutes, a look at our hour by hour Storm Chances later today coming up at 5 11. Jack taylor, whats going on now . Good morning, tom. Weve got crews that are still working on 66 out in gainesville, this is westbound on 66. Left lanes getting by. Theres a minimal delay. Eastbound lanes unaffected.

About this report is what it shows us is weve got a whole lot more work to do so that we can confront this threat and hopefully we know our committee has come together in a bipartisan fashion but this is an issue that should have no party lines because this is an American Issue were talking about safety to our people and hopefully we can convince the rest of our colleagues to move Forward Together to confront this crisis. Thank you congressman vela. The chair recognizes mr. Hurd from texas. Thank you chairman and Ranking Member thompson, the chairman katko, that was pleasure working alongside of you. I spent almost over nine years as an undercover officer in the cia.

There are clear and present danger to the United States and we need to do everything we can to stop them in their tracks. One of the shocking things for m
Director of covered california which is my States Health insurance marketplace which has helped connect so many of my constituents with Health Insurance. You know, california made a conscious decision to be an active player with the Affordable Care act imminimum meantation. There have been efforts to make california a leader.

There are just example examples after, you know, many, many examples that you could cite. Its arizona is exemplary. And there are 49 other exemplary states also in terms of what theyre doing in this regard. It is amazing what states are doing now and if you want to look at one place where medicaid is a leader in the health care system, you can look at medicaid. It is definitely, definitely leading. Trying things that other folks havent tried. States are focused and they have the ability to be flexible and one state learns from another. Le
