Congress may be moving forward on providing the money to pay for the removal of Matilija Dam. Star Washington correspondent Michael Collins (collinsm@shns.com) reports for tomorrow's Star that the House and Senate both have money allocated for the project. But that's happened in past years and the money was always taken out at the end. He'll look at the prospects for the project actually being funded this year.

Also for Page One tomorrow, we'll have a story by staff writer Stephanie Hoops (shoops@VenturaCountyStar.com) on summer internships. College students are finding they need work experience in their chosen field to make themselves more marketable when they complete their degree. And the intership is a way to get that.

We'll be following on the announcement late yesterday that Simi Valley hospital is paying a $3.6 million settlement with the federal government to get rid of an investigation into Medicare fraud.

Off the wires, we're continuing to watch the latest developments out of London with today's explosions; the Supreme Court nomination; and debate in Congress today over extension of the Patriot Act.
