he was the speaker at niles west high school in illinois. a place where he graduated as a legit taurean of his class. -- as valedictorian of his class. many things have changed since the first graduation speech i gave you are. on this very spot in 1970. er -- the electric typewriter was cutting edge technology. and paul mccartney was about the same age taylor swift is today. there are still some things that never go out of style. paul mccartney is one of them. i hear you had tie die davis. -- i heard you had tie die day this year, in 1970, every day was tie-dyed day. in 2016 the team brought home the illinois state championship. congratulations. and on may 29 of both years the cubs were in first place in their division.

friend at niles west. so why is any of this important? because when hard decisions have to be made or bad things happen, you don't have to handle them alone. your community, your friends, your family will help you through it. because they care about you. they don't care what position you've atained. . they care about you. and bad things do happen even to good people. if i ever doubted that the bombing of the oklahoma city federal building in 1995 made it painfully clear. but the weeks, i spent also made me see just how important community, friends and family are when bad things happen. oklahomaians lined up to offer care and comfort to 240es who are hurrying neighbors and strangers alike. they also join together to help the investigators, firefighters and the rescue workers would flock to the city to help. they candidate food line going for us 24/7. nearby tables were had donations. everything from tooth pafmentse >> one resident set up a lawnry service for us. another cut to cut our hair. the oklahoma sta

so, when we had west nile, they called it a west nile bill. when we're having a bad fire year, they called it a fire suppression flexibility act. then they were honest and they said, it is the reducing regulatory burdens act. you know, the piece of paper or the report you have to file after you apply the pesticides. and, you know, so, at least that was, you know, from their side, honest. but then now it is the zika vector control act. renamed two weeks ago. zika is a serious problem. and of course on their side they're refusing to put forward an adequate budget to partner with communities who want to do mosquito reduction and control efforts. but that's a story for another day and it's a different committee. but that would be a real thing we could do. here's a couple of points. you know, zika is very bad for pregnant women and also is implicated in a syndrome in both males and females and other potential links to other diseases. really, really bad stuff. and we have to get ahead of it. but we also know that pesticides and herbsides are bad for

other diseases including lyme and west nile are already common throughout the country. consume irreports has advice on the best insect repel antsz to stay safe. the zika outbreak continues to dominate the news and with no vaccine nor the virus and no drug to treem the infections, it has become devastatingly clear that avoiding mosquito bites is essential. "consumer reports" says zika isn't the only insect-borne threat this summer. >> the west nile and other viruses are also spretd by mosquitoes and tick-borne illnesses are becoming more common. >> "consumer reports" has tested insect repel ants and say think don't ole a all provide the same protection. they looked at 16 with a range of active ingreents. for their effectiveness at repelling bites from the 80s mosquito that can carry zika and the -- known to spread west nile virus. the lab also tested the repellents against deer ticks which can carry lyme and other diseases. while choosing a natural or plant oil based insect repellent instead of one containing deet might seem look a good idea, "consumer reports" found oth

nile. the house did -- west nile. the house did pass this legislation already and it was good legislation then. got a wide bipartisan vote. all of a sudden some people want to politicize it. this isn't a political issue. this is about common sense. mr. speaker, the e.p.a. is just putting additional hurdles in place. it's not like they are saying don't spray these pesticides. they are jacking up the cost. it's a e.p.a. money grab that makes it more expensive and more difficult to actually go kill mosquitos. while we are debating whether or not to prioritize more money for zika, which we are doing, $1.2 billion worth, shouldn't we make sure that the combloin -- money could be used to kill the moss cootos that spread zika. if the e.p.a. has a rule that makes no sense and harder to kill mosquitos, shouldn't we remove that rule and barrier and allow and trust our local governments. there are some people up here who think washington knows best. if your local parish or county knows what they need to do to control the populat

in the central valley, health officials are urging people to take precautions against the west nile virus. two mosquitoes tested positive for the virus. most people infected with west nile won't develop symptoms but one in five of those infected will, including headache, fever, and nausea. in rare cases, west nile can be fatal. more than 700 californians contracted the virus last year. >>> noaa is forecasting 10 to 16 named tropical storms in the atlantic. four to air expected to become hurricanes. at least one is predicted to become a major hurricane. that's about average, but it's coming after three straight years of below-average hurricane seasons. >> the predicted level of activity compared to the past three years that we've experienced actually suggests we could be in for more activity than we've seen in recent years. >> the official hurricane season starts june 1st but forecasters say an early system between the bahamas and bermuda has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical storm bitomorrow. they say people from georgia to the carolinas should keep an eye on the potentia

in places with a lot of mosquitoes so we have it in new jersey and not huge numbers of cases of west nile but there are cases every year. if zika takes hold and we see the map of where the mosquitoes are we won't get thousands of cases but there are probably going to be cases every year and there are going to be kids born with these horrible birth defects so it is important for people to know that so that it doesn't get established and we don't end up having a new equilibrium. >> we ought to keep in mind another opportunity, make the argument and you did, one of the problems is if we are successful it doesn't get big, you could turn that around, you have to be on the offensive to do this, the reason this thing didn't get out of control is we took precautionary measures you could make how many cases of babies with stunted brains you have to have before people think it is worth spending money on something like this. >> i am molly with clean air force. the link between climate change and health, i have a question about the zika epidemic. i wonder if you think we have any evidence that this e

in 2012, the first year that this duplicative permitting went into effect, the number of cases of west nile virus jumped from 712 to 5,674 cases in the united states. in response to those west nile outbreaksmark states and communities were forced to declare public emergencies. this allowed them to use lifesaving pesticides to control mosquitoes without delay caused by the permitting process but they were only wable to -- able to do this after they declared an emergency that affected the west nile and community, they can spray without any permits. congress should not be forcing states, cities and mosquito control agencies to put their own residents, especially pregnant women, at risk of contracting zika. h.r. 897 will enable communities to resume conducting routine, preventive mosquito control programs providing limited and emporary authorized by fifra and used in compliant with its guidance. the e.p.a. arufe -- approves and regulates the use of these under fifra. this is a simple fix to a bad court decision that added unnecessary red tape. h.r. 89 was drafted very narrowly to address only t

you know, this bill, we talk about west nile. you know, we had in 2012, we had some crisis in this country of west nile epidemics. dallas, texas, had to declare an emergency. it's probably they weren't doing what they were supposed to be doing. i think what's really important. we need -- that's why we put a sunset provision in this bill. september 30, 2018, this bill sunsets and we put that in there to address that towards zika. the zika will probably run its course. hopefully in two years we'll forget about it like we've done ebola. the problem is we need to do everything we can to mitigate the problem in the interim. and we saw last week there was 103 pregnant women in the united states that had zika virus. today i was told 113. that number is jumping and will jump up fast because we are in mosquito season. when the mothers will start delivering the babies and we have problems that won't be a pleasant experience. that two-year sunset provision in there we're targeting it to address that issue. we need to give our states and loca

testers received bites from the 80s mosquitoes as well as the cue level mosquito that can carry west nile virus. "consumer reports" contacted the companies to make the prometh rin treatment, both cited formal studies and field testing data to underscore the e. i effectiveness of their products. there is another way to protect yourself according to the cdc. any repellent that works on your skin should work for just as long when applied to clothing. okay, now this is interesting. "consumer reports" tried the exact same test with a regular shirt sprayed with a 30% deet insect repellent and none of the volunteers were bitten. if you do try this, consum"cons reports" advises spraying your clothes before you put them on and then waiting until they are completely dry. >> some good advice there, michael. thank you. >> thanks. >>> well, let's turn other attention to the weather forecast as we inch closer to the weekend. the thermometer is going to be inching up, too. >> oh, i can't take this nice weather anymore, sandhya. >> oh, come on now. you've lived here long enough. kristen and dan, is it go

this is related to other viruses as ron explained, dengue, yellow fever and west nile. primarily we think through aedes aegypti but maybe not exclusively. this virus is not new. it was discovered in 1947, and for 57 years there were a whopping 13 cases reported. so very surprising. there was an outbreak in yap in 2007, but very surprising at the end of last year when we started to see huge spike in cases in brazil. the authorities in brazil suspect that there were nearly a million cases. so that his tremendous growth and not what we expected. the other thing that we didn't expect was a significant risk to pregnant women. so the effort you hear about zika is not a very sued disease for most people. some peopl people never know the the other people have sort of general symptoms that might look like any other viral infection that we would all sort of live less and get over. the really tragic outcomes have been for pregnant women. this is the first time in more than 50 years that we've discovered an infectious disease caused birth defects. and it's really the first time tha
