And just to follow up. One of the concerns I have, and I just spoke yesterday to a community banker in my district...

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important and timely hearing on the challenges facing freight transportation.

The tragedy of the Colgan Air flight brought the safety of our airlines back into the public eye.

I think that we know. I mean, I've read enough sleep studies to know that if people have--don't have enough sleep...

When I hear all this from our hearing last week, of underpaid pilots, pilots that are tired, and pilots that aren't earning enough money, it reminds me very much of that.

Are regional carriers doing the same thing?

I was glad that Administrator Babbitt, this past Monday, said he's going to propose a new rule on pilot rest requirements.

I think what happens sometimes--again, it ties into that other issue of when you buy a phone and you're not quite sure whether the service is going to work or not.

It's just my own experience and I want to kind of get off the rural issue for a little bit.

I think that lack of competition, as Senator Warner was pointing out, can lead to issues.

But don't you think having competition with people being able to choose their own carrier can be good for prices and good for our country?

How do you think we should let consumers know that the FCC is an avenue open to them?

I still hear it. I do note that according to your preliminary results, 42 percent of those surveyed, who wanted to, but ultimately did not switch services, found ETFs to be a problem.

We are very happy that some of the changes were made.

It's still not really evenly prorated as we would have liked to have done.

I am very concerned about... rape kits and other things.

I can still tell you that in rural parts of our country... the cell phone coverage still goes bad.

I introduced a bill last year called the 'Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act' with a number of my Commerce colleagues.
