if there's one building hoosiers connect with the vonnegut family, it's this one.m building was german cultural center. >>narrator: in the indianapolis of the mid-to-late 19th century, successful germans married other successful germans. bernard married nanette schnull. her father was henry schnull. >>william selm: so he's the father of the wholesale district. very well the merchant prince of meridian street. >>narrator: bernard and nanette had three children ... the eldest, born in 18-84, they named kurt. he followed his father, first to mit, and then into his father's firm. he helped found the indianapolis children's museum, from its humble beginnings in a carriage house. he even designed "sidney the seahorse," the museum's first logo. bernard died in 19-08, only 53 years old. kurt joined two years later and soon after, he fell in love with a beautiful woman he had known since childhood,who also happened to be from, another wealthy german family. just look at edith lieber, tall, about 5-8, auburn haired, perfect complexion. her father, albert, earned his millions

i represent over 6.5 million hoosiers. 3.8 million hoosiers, 3.8 million hoosiers, 60% of indiana's population, was impacted by equifax's data breach. can you see why they feel like companies like equifax don't have their back? yes? >> yes, senator. >> okay. one of the tragic things about this whole episode is that many of these hoosiers, many americans, won't discover until a number of years down the road that there was, in fact, a data breach. a single mother of a few children gets a new job in gary, indiana, goes to buy a car because this job requires her to drive, and she finds out her credit has been ruined. what is equifax going to do to remedy the situation for that single mother? >> let me jump in first. that was the idea behind the lifetime ability to lock and unlock your file. we talked about it in four prior hearings. if it's locked, senator, you don't have the ability to go rent a house falsely in your name. or rent an apartment. get access -- >> that's prospective. and prophylactic, defensive. seems like a good thing to do. let me return to that momentarily. i will say, you know,

. >>> tripadvisor says it will warn hoosiers go hotels where sexual assaults have been reported.he travel website will identify those places with a red-lettered message at the top of the listing. tripadvisor says though warnings will last for three months unless new claims are reported. this comes after the company was accused of censuring the reviews of some mexican resorts. >>> and it was a rough start for the self-driving shuttle in downtown las vegas. the shuttle was involved in a crash on the very first day of operation. it was hit by a truck street. a human worker is always on board just in case. >>> facebook's new effort to fight so-called revenge porn involves getting naked photos of people using its site. so it's a program that's being tested in australia. here's how it works. users send in their racy photos that could be uploaded by someone else without consent after a facebook employee views the photos, they'll be added to a database that will block them from being uploaded in the future. if the trial is successful, the program will be brought to the u.s. >> so you giv

a lot of hoosiers, a lot of americans pay for the drugs to help savings accounts. do withmething we could hsa or otherle vehicles to up wh drug costs? >> i do think there is actually. so one of the things when you have a high deductible plan, and that's one way or two, three, four, $5-$6000 just to pay out-of-pocket before the engine starts paying, the law says you can't use, that the plan can't cover during that time of deductible unless it's something of a a preventive service. but the government has a a putp a good guidelines about what can be covered as preventive services so that patients could have first dollar coverage in that deductible. so their health savings account could cover those prevented services. and so, and also changes that would allow more money to be put away in the health savings account, more flexibility for use, anything that lets the patient access to more money for lower co-pays when you walk into the pharmacy i think has to be part of what we drive towards. >> i've asked you to questions come one about your past professional history with

the attack by the koch brothers on the airwaves trying to paint joe donnelly as someone hoosiers know he is not. he is fighting for working people. just like claire mccaskill, fighting and every zip code. if steve bannon wants to continue to facilitate circular firing squad the republican side, i am not going to stand in the way of that. i am focused on making sure that we are helping to elect democrats up and down the ticket by investing in our infrastructure, and i.t. making sure we are communicating the message that the democratic party has your back. >> you mentioned tennessee. do you have a candidate in mississippi? perez: in mississippi there is a candidate and the governor is considering whether to get in. i don't know if you will or not. i think we can compete everywhere. we have won a number of special elections in mississippi. , itou look at mississippi is a good example of what democrats can do if we implement our game plan of organ is isaac -- of organizing. if you look at statewide elections. the most recent election, if my memory serves me, the biggest vote-getter in the

hoosiers get it. the recent reports of sexual assault and harassment in congress are reprehensible. i applaud representative comstock for her hard work on this resolution. the house resolution today is an important step in the right direction. it mandates that everyone working in congress has the proper anti-harassment training. but we must do more. the a.p. recently reported that the federal government has spent $17 million in taxpayer money settling harassment claims and other violations. it's astounding that tax dollars have been spent to protect members of congress and silence victims. it's not ok. that's why i'm filing legislation to stop taxpayer dollars from being used in this way, to settle sexual harassment claims against members of congress. and this legislation will empower victims by releasing them from nondisclosure agreements that prevent them from coming forward and telling their story. let's pass today's resolution and keep working to do more. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from mississippi reserve

across our state, there are enough bottles of pain killers in circulation for nearly every hoosier to have their own. and the number of infants born addicted to opioids is increasing at an alarming rate with health care costs for these babies costing indiana more than $64 million in 2014 alone. and as we know, like so many other states, hoosiers are now more likely to die from a drug overdose than a car accident. when i came to congress in 2013, i've been very focused on our communities and families that this epidemic has swept up. and like so many of my colleagues, we've held roundtables, we've held meetings, we met with addicted individuals' families. we've been on the front line with subscribers, health care workers. we all agree, this is a federal problem and a local problem. last year, we passed cara, which included my bill to establish an interagency task force to review, modify, and update the best practices for pain management and prescribe pain medicine. hhs has already taken steps, informing this task force, but more needs to be done. in my view, it's critical to ensure that
