I introduced the CHIPS Act with Congressman Michael McCaul to reassert America's leadership in the semiconductor industry.

This extension was intended to give us time to continue negotiating while preserving the vital authority of the Commission. Unfortunately, that bill fell on deaf ears.

I want to see this fund modernized to give agencies more flexibility and ensure they have the tools they need to meet their missions.

Chairwoman Rosenworcel is doing what she can with the resources she has to keep the FCC responsive.

Two years ago, I wrote then-President-elect Biden, urging him to develop an administration spectrum strategy that is persistent, concerted, and effective.

It is important that this committee and the FCC are working hand-in-glove to advance complementary rather than conflicting policies.

Satellite systems are capable of providing service globally regardless of where they are licensed.

I am glad that we are building on the progress of our first hearing with another bipartisan discussion today.

As more system operators begin to share congested spectrum bands, it will be increasingly important that satellites are spectrally efficient.

The global satellite marketplace is growing increasingly competitive.

As a cochair of the Spectrum Caucus, I understand the increasing demand for spectrum across all industries.

It is no exaggeration to say that our subcommittee has more bearing on the United States technological leadership in the 21st century than any other.

We have a unique opportunity to promote innovation and equity in technology.

This hearing is both important and timely.

I am excited to get to work, continuing the subcommittee's strong tradition of bipartisanship.

Our subcommittee has more bearing on the United States technological leadership in the 21st century than any other.

I strongly support the bill before us today which will keep our government operating and make transformative investments to tackle some of the Sacramento region's most pressing challenges. Despite the progress we've made with this bill, I…
