Edolphus Towns: “The Honorable Edolphus Towns, a Member of Congress from the State of New York, Opening Statement”

I am a strong supporter of President Obama's goal of improving the way this country uses its spectrum and freeing up more for mobile broadband and a national public safety network.

We should take swift action to pass it in this Congress.

The private sector can, and must, safeguard personal information.

I am proud to stand with President Obama, who included this in his jobs proposal because of the opportunity it offers to assist with deficit reduction, something that we all are concerned about.
