The President's Climate Action Plan is a critical step to ensure not just that we address the dangers of climate change but also that the United States can compete and lead in the clean energy economy of the future.

Some say that addressing climate change will cost too much money but they neglect to consider the cost of inaction, as well as the tremendous economic benefits of positioning our country as a global leader in clean energy.

Churches have been, and continue to be, attacked and sacred objects ransacked, and the very lives of those that stand against this are being threatened. The Christians of Syria, as well as Iraq, Iran, Israel, and Egypt, are the oldest in…

My Republican colleagues are quick to argue that tackling climate change will hurt the economy, but in reality, climate change itself poses an enormous economic risk.

Failure to act in an urgent manner is shortsighted and detrimental to our environmental and economic interests.

I don't believe, innovation and regulation, have to be in conflict.

I think that is something for all of my colleagues to keep under their hat as we consider this.

I would like to place Mr. Dingell's statement in the record.

we applaud Ranking Member Eshoo for circulating the Video CHOICE Act this past Monday.

We have to have a very good, sensible, bipartisan approach on this thing.

I think it is broken myself.

Congresswoman Eshoo's draft bill is an excellent example.

Ranking Member Eshoo's draft Video CHOICE bill puts forward a number of creative ideas that could move the video marketplace in a good direction.

It is in everybody's interest I think.

Just 2 weeks ago, Mr. Chairman, we had bipartisan consensus on the need to focus on how federal agencies use spectrum.

We seriously disagree about the wisdom of the current effort, and I hope the majority will reconsider its plans.

Democrats are open to improving federal agency operations and efficiency, and the FCC is no exception.

We have a real opportunity to enact meaningful bipartisan legislation that modernizes our communications and technology laws.

I just want to share the following with you. In listening very carefully to each one of you, I leaned over and I said to Mr. Waxman, isn't it so extraordinary that we have the level of expertise that is represented at this time in our…

I think that the draft legislation only allows the FCC to impose conditions that are 'narrowly tailored to remedy a harm that arises as a direct result of the specific transaction.'

I think it is very clear that there is a public-interest standard that the FCC is charged with.

The economic value of auctioning this spectrum cannot be understated, since it will go a long way toward providing a down payment for the construction of First Net and address our Nation's spectrum crunch.

With the President's call earlier this month for increased spectrum sharing, today is a timely continuation of the bipartisan examination we began in the last Congress on how to relocate or share spectrum held by federal agencies.

The bottom line is that federal agencies have a responsibility to ensure efficient use and maximum benefit of this scarce resource, just as wireless companies do.

the same old, same old that has prevailed for years simply is not going to be accepted around here.
