if it's not such an accute outbreak you can have a blood draw and have your specific antibody titus checked. >> see you gp if you are in doubt. we will continue to talk about vaccines and among. childhood diseases are highly contagious. most of them are airborne so coughing can be enough to transmit the disease to the person sitting next to you on the bus. most people infected do not take precautions because they do not realize how sick they are at first, like the patient in this report. >> just listening to it is distressing that these people few people recognize whooping cough. >> we've actually seen a significant rise in the number of whooping cough infections over the last few years. it is unclear whether that is due to a reluctance to be vaccinated. in adults the main symptom is a really brutal cough that is difficult to treat. in children it can sometime cause severe breathing difficulties. >> whooping cough is highly contagious. expressed by bacteria that enter your lungs as you breathe. the bacteria and attached themselves to your bronchial membranes and release toxins. that mobiliz

titus: thank you. later today the house will move forward on an extension of the current transportation authorization, map 21. this will ensure that federal funding is available to meet our infrastructure needs through spring of next year. for some 700,000 construction workers, including roughly 6,000 in nevada, this is welcome news. nonetheless, the short-term fix is only a band-aid on a soar that -- sore that continues to fester. for businesses, state departments of transportation, local governments, and transit authority, this kind of unpredictibility, which has gotten fairly common in congress, hurts our economy and the ability for the public and private sectors to plan to meet our nation's needs. the clock is ticking, but there is still time to avoid a manufactured crisis again next year. if we work together, put all funding options on the table, and consult with stakeholders, we can get serious about building needed infrastructure, creating jobs, and investing in our future. i yield back. the spe

titus: thank you. i thank my friend from illinois for yielding and for visiting my district whenever she can. i rise in strong support of r. 4450, the travel, promotion, enhancement modernization act of 2014. i'm an orge co-sponsor of this legislation and i thank my friend, mr. bilirakis, for his leadership on this issue. during the 111th congress i was proud to be an original co-sponsor of the first travel promotion act which actually established brand u.s.a. prior to the passage of that act, the united states was one of the only countries in the world that did not promote its unique destination to foreign visitors. since its creation, brand u.s.a. has played a critical role in bringing foreign visitors to destinations throughout the united states, including my district of las vegas. through innovative, targeted and effective marketing campaigns, brand u.s.a. has directly connected foreign visitors with world-famous destinations in district one, including the fabulous strip, the new arts district and

titus: thank you. and i thank my friend for yielding. i thank mr. michaud and chairman miller for their leadership on this important bill. as a member of the house veterans' affairs committee, i've been working with my colleagues to ensure that veterans have access to the highest quality care in a timely fashion. this legislation before us takes important steps towards that goal. i'm especially pleased that the compromise includes three of my bills which ensure that, one, all of the mes -- victims of sexual assault get the care they need. and more residencies are going to be funded at v.a. hospitals in areas of the country that are underserved by doctors and private practice. our committee, i know, will continue to work in a bipartisan fashion with the new secretary to ensure that all veterans have access to the benefits and care that they have so bravely earned. today we are acting on behalf of a grateful nation to provide our country's heroes the care they need and restore their trust in the v.a. so i urge my colleagues to support this conference

titus: thank you. in just a few days, the highway trust fund will become insolvent. that sounds shocking but it's really not news. in fact, we were warned of this possibility in a g.a.o. report issued in march of 2012. yet here we are with just a few weeks to go before we fall off yet another man-made cliff, and still no solution has been brought to the floor for a vote. this irresponsible inaction by my colleagues across the aisle is inflicting damage on the nation's economy and on states across the country. in nevada alone, over 100 projects are in danger of being delayed or canceled, affecting some 6,000 construction workers, their families, and ancillary business that is are associated with them. this includes six multimillion dollar improvements to i-15 which is the main north-south corridor that runs through the heart of las vegas. we cannot afford nor can we risk kicking this can down an already deteriorated road. it's time for congress to step up, come together, and offer real solutions that invest in our future. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time

titus: the hobby lobby decision gave employers a legal right to make personal health decisions for their employees. this devastating ruling opened the door to a wide range of discrimination and denial of basic health care services for women. now all closely held corporations, which represent 90% of american businesses, can legally impose their own religious beliefs on female employees. that's why i'm proud to be a co-sponsor of the not my boss' business act, which will undo this damage and prevent for-profit companies from using the religious beliefs of the owner as an excuse to discriminate against women and limit their individual health care rights and choices. 99% of american women will make the decision to use contraceptive at some point in their lives. what rights do corporations have to deny them this choice? the hobby lobby decision is a significant step backwards for women's health and equality. so i urge my colleagues to vote no on the previous question so that we can bring up and consider this important legislation and move bosses out of the bedroom and back into the boardroom.
