Deduction Retirement Plan through work and plan design, automatic enrollment. So, tax reform, i think can compliment those features. But we shouldnt lose sight of that. Those are two key things that we need to continue to push forward with. With respect to tax reform, one thing i would say is that we need to, i think in order to have impact in that debate, we need to talk about what it means for additional savings, what it means in the context of tax reform which is focussed on making tax cuts simpler, making it more efficient, its going to be focused on pro growth and focused on making it fairer.

I strongly agree with senator mccaskill, and she is verywe aware of my views because we have discussed hers and mine at length and i know that you agree that consumer complaints about this intrusive, invasive practice are very well justified.

Even in advance of the rule, the Telephone Companies have the ability to offer that service. And so, i agree with senator mccaskill about the inadvisability of the suggestion made in the budget agreement, but more broadly, i would like to ask what the next steps are that you would view as most likely and most achievable to address this scourge of robocalls that we both have seen across the count
We need them most. Second, universal access. No matter who you are or where you live in this country, for a fair shot at 21st century prosperity, you need accesccess firstrate modern communications. That means we need policies that foster deployment and adoption in urban areas, rural areas and in between. Third, competition. Competition increases innovation and lowers prices. Fourth, Consumer Protection. Communication services are multiplying, but the marketplace is also bewildering to navigate. So we should always be on guard for ways to help consumers make good choices.

In light of them, i am especially proud of Agency Efforts to strengthen 911 service, and i am proud of our work to increase access to broadband in schools and enhance opportunities for digital age education. I also believe our spectrum policies for licensed and unlicensed air waves have made our wireless markets competitive, inn

We could see rain or ice ending as snow by Tuesday Morning as colder air moves in. This is the storm. It begins to work its way across the country late in the week, a new blast of arctic air to move south. The question is this is about sunday, west coast storm makes it into the Mississippi River valley. After that how far south will this arctic air seep as the moisture begins to move in monday . Right now the arctic air will be very close to us, could be as close as the masondixon line. That means more ice than anything else. Its something well watch carefully. Were watching temps drop. 19 in gaithersburg, 21 leesburg, 19 manassas. Wakeup weather bundle up the kids. No winds tomorrow morning but very cold. 7 00 14 to 24.

And those organizations, i would love to have a one on one with bill oreilly, not on fox news. Hear any mutual place. I welcome that, bill, if youre watching, or joe scarborough. Because hes just as guilty. Or whats the guy who runs hardball . Chris matthews. These men have gone out of their way to the horrific things about americas muslims. And i think the fact that the rhetoric, we talked about words, the rhetoric goes uncontested and no one really challenges to some extent these comments. Concerns me. In spite of the fact that there is this heightened awareness. Thats especially true now. George allen can see in virginia was nearly derailed when he referred to southeastern americans. We have republican governors of louisiana and south carolina, a south asian ancestry. One is a catholic, but gentle, the other, nikki haley is seized by ancestry. She appoints an africanamerican senator, a conservative. It different. Not so much arab americans. Muslimamericans. At the muslimamericans ar
