I trust this finds you and your family well. Today marks the 150th annivesary of the Gettysburg Address, a two\u00a0minute speech that has forever changed our nation. I am grateful for Abraham Lincoln and all he did for our country. Take a moment and read his address\u00a0here.\n\t\tThe Week Ahead:\n\t\tI\u2019m happy to announce that this week, the House Natural Resources Committee will be holding a hearing discussing my\u00a0PARC Act. This bill would ensure that in the event of a future government shut down, an agreement is in place to allow states to quickly continue funding and operating national parks and federal programs that are vital to their economies. There is no reason that hardworking American families and communities should be punished due to circumstances over which they have no control. We are excited to have Utah\u2019s Lt. Governor, Spencer Cox, come to Washington to testify at this hearing on Utah\u2019s behalf.\n\t\tFor a PDF of the full text of the PARC Act,\u00a0click here.\n\t\tVisit the\u00a0House Majority Leader\u2019s website\u00a0for the most up-to-date information on the legislation the House is voting on.\n\t\tLast Week:\n\t\tTo alleviate some of the negative impacts of the botched Obamacare rollout, including increased premiums and cancelled health insurance plans, the House passed the\u00a0Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013. This bill allows health insurances companies to continue offering cancelled health plans through 2014.\n\t\tIf the implementation of Obamacare has impacted you or your family, please share your story with me by filling out\u00a0this survey on my website. It\u2019s important for me to share your stories with my colleagues here in Washington. I remain committed to market healthcare solutions that get the government out of the way, allowing the economy to grow and Americans to make their own choices about their healthcare.\n\t\tI also had the chance to question the EPA Administrator, Gina McCarthy, to advocate for clean air solutions that work for Utah. Watch the clip of me questioning Ms. McCarthy below.\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\tStay Connected:\n\t\tFor me to better represent you in Congress, I hope that you will stay connected to my office.
