I am concerned that in redefining, quote, 'prior express consent,' consumers will unknowingly be opening themselves up to future robocalls.

And I think that this is a closely held value that came out of the TCPA legislation.

My constituents have spoken very clearly. They don't like this bill.

Why should a consumer be subjected to an unsolicited text message at a cost of 20 cents per message?

Very importantly, we look forward to spurring hiring and business development. That's what we are here for, and I think it's what the American people want us to do. I'm proud to be a cosponsor of H.R. 1070, to raise the regulation offering…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan for yielding time, and I want to thank my Republican colleagues for both what they are doing today on the floor and for what you have said. These are really difficult economic times for the people in our…

These many offerings have been used to help small companies raise capital and test the waters for IPOs, initial public offerings. Unfortunately, the regulation A threshold became stuck, as others said, at a 1992 level of $5 million. At…

I come to the floor today with a coat of many colors. It is a little unusual to do this, but I'm very proud of it. And I think everyone will recognize this because this is the traditional white coat that doctors wear. It was given to me by…

At the conclusion of the hearing, we agreed to press forward with this legislation to create a special envoy at the State Department, someone at the ambassador level to elevate this issue for the attention it deserves. We need a high-level…

To respond to my friend and colleague, Mr. Terry, with all due respect, I didn't come to the floor today with a tactic. I offered this, I raised this in the committee. We had a very good discussion about it there. It's my understanding…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 6, after line 24, insert the following new paragraph: (18) Recent oil pipeline spills, such as the May 2011…

I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mrs. Christensen The CHAIR. It is now in…

Pipeline safety is not a subject that we can afford to take lightly. On September 10, 2010, last year, a natural gas explosion in San Bruno, California, just north of my congressional district in Congresswoman Speier's district, killed…

I joined with the full committee's ranking member, Mr. Waxman, to offer our preferred path.

Be careful what you ask for, or wish for.

I strongly support preserving unlicensed spectrum for American innovators, and an auction I believe will put American innovators and American innovation at a competitive disadvantage.

I think each one of you, whether I agree or disagree with some parts of what you said, really have offered excellent testimony today and are helping us move forward with this.

The public safety community has indicated its strong support for the robust governance approach in the Senate bill and in the Democratic draft.

I thank the chairman. I rise once again in strong opposition to Representative Cole's amendment to block transparency and disclosure for taxpayers. That's what this issue is about. It is with continuing curiosity that when I listened to…
