May I just add my best wishes to everyone here--I know the committee is all gone, but in absentia--for a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have much to be grateful for in our great and good country. So happy Thanksgiving.

I believe that it has--it holds the potential for many benefits, and several of you have mentioned them, and how it will lead to competition and bridging the digital divide and unlock the Internet of Things.

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss how cities are creating favorable environments to speed deployment of broadband.

The tax bill being considered, H.R. 1, is a frontal assault on the middle class and it will do lasting damage to our country. The bill is a dishonest bait-and-switch for the 36 million middle and lower class families who will see their…

We cannot run roughshod over local government. And I think that there is, most frankly, a rush to do that.

I want us to be number one and lead the world in whatever it is, whatever the undertaking is, and whatever the sector is.

I think it is important to bring that--to strengthen the linkage.

I don't know what the incentive on the part of physicians would be--well, maybe some that are highly idealistic, but people have to live, to move away from fee-for-service.

I thank our distinguished ranking member. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to oppose this bill, the so-called CHAMPIONING HEALTHY KIDS Act. First of all, we are a month late and many dollars short. It was the majority that brought it up late. We…

Yesterday, Republicans unveiled their vision for tax reform, and it is not pretty. The proposal raises taxes on the middle class and showers the wealthiest 1 percent of our country with 80 percent of the benefits, at a total cost of $1.5…

The community health centers in my district have told me about the difficult decisions they have to make because Congress has not reauthorized their funding, including layoffs of physicians and closing clinics' doors. We are playing with…

Why are there penalties? Did the Congress do that or is it part of your contract?

I really think that we need to go back to the air raid system because there really wasn't anything that worked or very, very little.

But why even talk about penalties? Obviously, if something doesn't work, the state is going to be responsible.

I want to associate myself with our ranking member's comments, particularly to what the President said that was a direct assault on the First Amendment.

Today, everyone needs a broadband connection, we all know that, in every part of the country.

To bring together President Kennedy with Donald Trump I don't think is palatable.

the First Amendment applies to free speech in our country. It doesn't mean that the Kremlin can distribute propaganda in our country through our airwaves.

We have passed laws to address the opioid crisis in our country and those two laws have been mentioned.

Our intelligence community has determined, with high confidence--that is the highest level of agreement between all of the agencies--that they interfered in our democracy.

But if we are undermining the treatment at the same time, I think we need to have that documented.

It is as new and as important today as the day that it was adopted.

I admire how you not only handled your own challenge.

Last September I introduced bipartisan legislation, co-authored by my good friend and colleague, Representative Anna Eshoo, explicitly authorizing the State Department and USAID to identify the needs of these communities and fund entities…

I want to know when they did it, when they took care of it.
