program. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. governor o'malley is having breakfast with top leaders in the house he is talking with bush and miller about holding a special session of legislature, a half million dollars in budget cuts are due to kick in because lawmakers failed to pass a tax package during regular session he wants to order both houses back the work. viryeah had its share of budget drama, despite a spending bill being passed there is plenty up in the air including money from a dulles rail project, plus an improving economic outlook and presidential politics, when bob mcdonald joins us live at 9:15 a.m. another big story today the secret service prostitution scandal, now includes a 12th member of the united states military the pentagon suspended security clearances of all military personnel implicated

and the secret service has also taken action against 12 employees, all this as congress widens its investigation, joining us with more inside virginia, democratic congressman, gerry connelly. good morning sir. good morning. just your reaction as a lawmaker to someone who goes to work every day inside washington s now, this scandal and also the gsa scandal, what is your opinion your reaction to all of this. >> well, i guess you can't always account for you know, bad judgment, i think both of them reflect badly on the individuals, i think the management of both organizations have take on the correct action, and i think congress wants to get to the bottom of making sure, that this is an isolated incident in both cases and not a culture, that takes foregranted taxpayer money. >> that does, sir, seem to be the issue at hand here is this,

as you alluded to, business as usual or as we've said in reports just an abboar ration something almost 12, as of this point, people on their own, secret service agents on their own get involved with how important is that and why is it so important. >> secret service was there, to advance and protect president of the united states in an overseas mission in a country that not so long ago was widely influenced by the not controlled by terrorists not so long ago, no body could have gone to cartagena safely especially not the president they knew they were in a high risk area, their action was deplorable, wreckless and could have compromised the mission. not sure if we have lost you now, can you hear me? >> i can hear you. >> okay. sorry about that.

basically, when these committees look into these actions and i will widen it, to both gsa scandal as well, a lot of people are asking will there be criminal charges in some of these, especially in the case of gsa out right, what it looks like misappropriation of funds of tax payer money what should consequences be? >> well, i think certainly there will be an investigation, into possibility of criminal charges as you know, mr. neily before our committee took the fifth he and his lawyers are anticipating the need to protect themselves from incrimination i think heads had to roll and they did, i think corrective action has to be put in place, i think there has to be more top down management in culture at gsa and full accounting for what happened and why. with regard to secret service alleged misconduct.

>> we have already had six folks lose their jobs i think, there are probably going to be more and should be, this action, their action is deplorable, cannot be acceptable, any where, any time, especially for the secret service you are representing the united states overseas and charged with the mission of protecting the head of this government therefore you have to be, cleaner than cesars wife they were not, and correct action has been taken and i think more will be taken >> i would like to, pardon the wild swing while we have you, talk about the postal cuts and your push for at least a 6 day delivery, with oropesa tall service -- with our postal service, it really is a culture generations old we are talking about a huge change because of the economy. >> well, clearly, the postal service, has to stream line, has to reform, has to adjust,

to a changed marketplace there is no question about that, and therefore, i think we will see a slimmed down, and downsized postal service i think also there have been a lot of very factful answers about the postal service i think need to be examined the idea of cutting back from 6 to 5 days a week puts the postal service at a competitive disadvantage six days a week can be made to be a profitable attribute of the postal service i think the postal service ought to be able to compete, by answering into private partnerships just like european postal services do. 16% of revenue is from non-core missions, congress has decided our postal service can't engage in that. i also think they have to be alleviated, providing 100% prepayment to health care benefits no other entity, on the planet is required to do that except the postal service that is costing them 5, $6

billion extra every year. representative connelly we appreciate you joining us come in studio and see us, it has been too long. >> okay. >> thank you so much. >> senate voting to be on a series of proposals to overhaul the postal service. 7:12 a.m., coming up a metro bus driver pulled from his route, after one of his passengers is taken to hospital. what happened and what metro is saying about the incident. >> plus main suspect in the disappearence of natalee holloway could be on his way to the united states to face criminal charges more on that. as we head to break another cool start to the day, latest weather and traffic from tucker and julie coming up in a couple moments stay with us we will be right back

investigation it is in the early stages but most metro buses allison and tony, do have those surveillance cameras onboard it is possible, there is some video evidence of what exactly happened in this fight. back to you. all right thank you very much. >> meanwhile metro is facing another problem this morning, this one involving a highly contagious illness one of their buses is out of service because the driver, has viral meningitis the driver worked friday was previously was in vacation it is from 14th street line running to buchanon, colorado avenue the bus is out of circulation until it can be thoroughly cleaned metro is disinfecting 164 other buses as a precaution. >> metro safety over site group is reviewing the transit agencies procedures to make sure equipment is in good working order following the death of a passenger when a defribulator did not work properly the 51-year-old had a

child is thank you for the work the organization 'cause. >> thank -- does. >> thank you allison. they are very heart wrenching for a family and difficult for law enforcement when you have a child missing like this >> i can only imagine. let's talk about these two cases they grabbed our attention one is a decades old case in new york city first let's start with isabel in arizona why no amber alert. >> that is based on descriptive information law enforcement gets immediately the decision to activate amber is a tool of law enforcement whether or not they need to activate that based on what descriptive information can be shared with the public and whether it will assist them in recovering and finding the child. in this case it was decided it wouldn't be very helpful but doesn't imply law enforcement is not being very aggressive they are, in these cases and lots of dissemination what happened to isabel. i think you just have to keep in mind amber is only a tool for law enforcement. >> we will talk about the criteria and explain that

better in this interview. but what do we know about this case? a lot is being made about the entry point to the home and basically, how that screen was pushed aside, why is this important. >> well, it suggests that someone got into the home and removed the child which is our biggest fear as parents we expect when we put our child to bed that child is safe the fact that screen has been removed suggested, an intruder may have come into the home and removed this child. now, these are very rare events, but not unprecedented we do see from time to time, children removed from homes and taken by abductors but all scenarios have to be considered by law enforcement they don't know what happened just yet they have a big job. >> in the case of eton in new york city, why -- we saw the activity on the weekend, i was not alone when we all held their breath maybe there is a break-in this case what is the latest in new york, what did investigators find. >> we don't know exactly what

has been found evidence was removed from the basement, we always remain hopeful some clue has been found that might give us the answers about what happened to eton we want to know but no one more so than his parents need to noah happened and so we are going to remain hopeful, but you hoe this case is -- you know this case is 33 years old what it demonstrates to us and should tell all the parents and anyone listening while law enforcement doesn't give up on these cases this had been 33 years since he has been missing and they will never give up the search until that child is found. >> a lot was made about the amber alert you felt maybe you can have a part in this it went across the nation when a child is missing what is the criteria to issue an amber alert. >> based on descriptive information law enforcement has whether it is about the child potential suspect, whether there is a vehicle the child is seen being taken from the scene, all that information has to be weighed by law enforcement keep in mind it doesn't suggest there is not an

aggressive investigation and response when these children go missing but keep in mind these are just a tool for law enforcement we find a lot of children as a result of amber but based on how much descriptive information we can share. sharing those images of the children is a very powerful thing and gauging the public is the eyes and ears of law enforcement that has been done in isabel's case we will remain hopeful. >> how big is the scope of this problem bob? how many kids approximately are out there, missing today. >> well, we work on average of 2,000 children reported per day keep in mind cases like eton cases like isabel's are more rare we see that 110 times nationally per year. very troubling most difficult, these are our stereo typical child abduction cases the ones i think haunt investigators because they are working in an atmosphere, where there is very little information, some times they have to go out and pound

the pavement and see what they can find out. >> bob laurie, appreciate the job you do the executive director of missing children division, national center for missing and exploited children, good luck come back and see us if there is any movement in this case. >> exposure to these cases through the public and media has been a real game changer, we are doing a much better job than ever in finding kids. >> tony over to you. >> thank you both. 7:40 a.m., the man accused of the biggest leak of classified information in u.s. history, heads back to court. next why his defense team says all charges should be dropped. take a listen. ♪ [ music ] ♪ you didn't have to cut me out >> what do you think about the glee version of this original song. the original artist is calling it a boxed rendition.

good morning dr. joe. >> good morning allison. >> tell us about this vaccine and specific type of cancer it is targeting. >> this particular cancer vaccine is for a brain tumour, it is a very aggressive cancer usually kills patients within 15 months of diagnose mow sis, and this particular -- diagnosis and this particular vaccine was created in san francisco and uses proteins, they can extract from the tumour itself they place that back into the patient and they were able to extend life by 15 weeks and that is pretty significant when you thing about the life span some of these patients are facing. >> you have been following this vaccine and the progression for awhile and a patient who helped with some research could you tell us about that. >> well, there was a second vaccine this one out of ucla we were following bob gibbs locally he unfortunately lost his battle a few months ago but did extremely well with another

vaccine, it was again the tumour, they took the tumour, boosted it with something that would make the immune system recognize the tumour and his survival was extended for a significant period of time now i think one of the most important things people need to know and that bob wanted to tell people is, if you are diagnosed and you are considering one of those clinical trials you need to let your doctor know before they perform surgery that particular tumour has to be preserved in a special way, so again if you do have a brain tumour, brain cancer any kind of cancer for that matter, and you are thinking about going into a vaccine trial, then make sure that you address that before you have surgery. >> okay dr. joe this is brain cancer what about other cancers. >> yes, there are vaccines out there for other cancers what the cancer does is it has some sort of a way to kind of operate under the radar and the most important thing we can do is make sure our bodies

recognize it should not be there. these are utilized to stop the spread of the disease those tiny little me it is a phis that can take hold in other parts of the body they are used in conjunction with other therapies, surgery and chemo therapy to debulk that tumour our hope is then keep and control that cancer and perhaps we will be treating cancer like chronic disease hopefully, like diabetes. >> let's talk about a test to diagnose teenage depression how realistic is this? when can we expect it. >> well, it is going to take some time this was a very small study just done they were looking for bio markers they found some, about 11 in blood that seem to be correlated with teenage depression another 18 that were correlated with anxiety and depression it will have to be reconfirmed have to go through clinical trials something we might want to have because they are saying up to 25% of teens and young adults, do have depression and a lot of

the symptoms are things we just correlate with teens, irritability, loss of appetite, acting out, so some times it is extremely difficult to know if your child truly has a pathological condition like depression or just you know being a teenager. >> dr. joe thank you so much exciting new advancements in the medical world appreciate it. >> thanks allison. time now 8:37 a.m., tuesday morning job of the day is coming up next on fox 5. >> plus if you use internet you need to know about this lingering effects of an online scam effecting hundreds of thousands of users nationwide and there is a step you need to take to avoid having your service shut down in july. we've got what you need to know stay with us, 8:37 a.m.

$250,000 exclusion if you are single $500,000 if you are married, but if you make a big profit, or if you live in the house for less than two years you may have to pay taxes on gains the key thing is, all of those home improvements, major home improvements, adding an extension, adding a deck all of that you can add to the purchase price and help lower your tax bill if you have to pay taxes on it that can make a big difference. >> records of stock and mutual funds,. >> this is one that i get questions from reeders all the time -- readers all the time right before tax time they are selling a stock trying to look back to figure out what they paid for it when they purchased it. a lot of times they have to piece things together. i say just hold on to those forms and records as long as you have the stock when you sell it it is easy to figure that out. >> these are things you can get rid of. supporting tax documents like

cancelled checks credit card receipts we can get rid of them right after tax season. >> that's right three years. >> after the three years. >> the key thing is irs has up to three years to audit you and on the flip side you also have three years after that tax filing deadline to file an amended return. so if you do for example, if you have been going through taxes this past year come up with deductions i may have qualified for that in the past you may have benefited, go back fill out an amended return, 1040 x get it at irs.gov and get extra money back. >> monthly statements from your bank and brokerage firm toss that, atm receipts, deposit slips goes in line. >> if you for example are taking a deduction for a home office, if you work at home then you will want to keep that with tax records up to three years otherwise as soon as you get records next months showing you paid that bill or brokerage firms forms and your tax

records for your pay, all of those things when you get that year end record showing that what you've got for the year they become redundant unless you are using it for tax purposes you can get rid of monthly statements after it matches up with the year end. >> after your pay stubs match up with w 2s get rid of those two for whatever reason i have a whole stack of pay stubs. >> it is interesting to look back at 10 years ago pay stubs but you don't need to keep them. >> some times it can be depressing to know what you used to make. spending your return in a positive way, you say, prepay your vacation for example. >> exactly right. >> love it. >> basic things you want to cover first make sure you pay down any high interest credit card debt, 18% interest, is like earning 18% return something that is hard to get otherwise, but once you've covered those bases and filled up your emergency fund. i say put some of that money in towards your vacation fund, and

then start feeding that account, every two weeks or so put extra money in by the time you take your vacation and that credit card bill comes after you get back you will be able the pay the full thing in full instead of paying interest for months. >> financial fleedom is always fun invest in your -- freedom is always fun invest in your stocks. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> you make taxes exciting. >> thanks. >> i was taking notes news you can use. ninth annual georgetown french market going on this friday and saturday, holly morris in georgetown today to preview the two day event good morning. >> good morning to you tony and no body knows fashion like the french right so when you come out this weekend to be a part of the french market, you might want to do a little shopping for your closet here to talk a little bit more about not only what is going to be vailable but what you should shop for is kyle barber with the boutique
