Edolphus Towns: “Thank you Chairman Bono-Mack and Ranking member Butterfield for holding this hearing today on 'Made in America…”

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.

First of all, I would like to thank the Members who worked very hard to make this a reality, and I want to take the opportunity to applaud the leadership and its commitment to the Members of Congress who have worked so hard on this…

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address these barriers to job growth and economic independence.

This congress must do everything in its power to promote and create jobs, free and fair trade is one way to accomplish this goal.
