I rise for the fourth time this year to call for transparency in our political system. I maintain the view shared by the overwhelming majority of the American people that transparency in the use of our tax dollars is absolutely critical…

The PSA is greatly encouraged by the Democratic discussion draft that was circulated by Congresswoman Eshoo and Congressman Waxman just this week.

I think we can draw from the work that you are doing but I think that the Congress really either needs to update some of the laws that are on the books or do something that is overarching that is going to protect innovation but also speak…

Help me with this and whomever wants to lean in on this. We are all concerned about children.

Personal privacy is, I believe, a very closely held American value. I think it is in our DNA.

I rise for the third time this year to call for transparency and disclosure in our system and throughout our government. This appropriations bill will spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars next year; and a huge portion of it, a…

I have an amendment at the desk, Mr. Chairman. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I just listened with great curiosity to the comments that were made about the so-called intent of the legislation. I don't see my colleagues on the other side bringing forward legislation that you have the power to pass given the number of…

I think there was a consensus on that, which pleases me.

I wish Congresswoman Matsui were here because she has worked very hard on the whole issue of serving anchor institutions.

I generally agree that publishing the specific language of proposed rules is a good idea.

I think that it is important for us to keep pressing ahead on this, examine the suggestions that have been made.

I think that we need to be cautious of legislative proposals which might or could diminish the Commission's ability to protect the public interest.

I want to thank Chairman Walden for incorporating the FCC Collaboration Act into the draft legislation under discussion today.

I support what you did. I think it is terrific.

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available in this Act may be…

I thank the Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to speak about what I think is a very, very important undertaking. It deals with our democratic system and what works against it. My amendment would require that anyone that receives an…
