Helping small and rural wireless providers replace vulnerable network equipment is a necessary step to boost national security.

I was pleased to see the Chairman's recent commitment to free up 280 megahertz of spectrum through the public auction.

I also urge you and all of you to expeditiously establish a successful auction.

Poor coordination with power companies caused widespread confusion and severely jeopardized public safety in California.

Without meaningful action from the FCC, I am worried that we fail to learn the valuable lessons that could save lives in the future.

I am really pleased that we are taking much-needed steps to bring FDA's oversight of cosmetics into the 21st century.

Although my district in southern West Virginia may be far from the coast, maritime transportation is essential for my district that exports the natural resources and manufactured products that power this country and the world.

Afterwards she made over 30 trips to Washington for hearings and to gain support for legislation which the Congresswoman introduced as the Cruise Vessel Safety and Security Act.

It is time for Congress to act to see that the law is implemented and carried out as we originally intended and that additional protections are secured to provide for the security and well-being of all cruise passengers.

Ms. Dishman, it sounds to me like you need to control your drinking.

We are always touched and amazed by the members of ICV who have been courageous and determined enough to share their stories.

I would like to request that the testimony submitted by the International Cruise Victims Association (ICV) on November 13th, 2019 be included as part of the official record.

I look forward to working with ICV and this Committee to advance our bill and ensure these vital consumer protections become law.

I had a eight hour deposition where the cruise line attorneys questioned me the entire time about my character.

the calculated disregard for passenger safety makes a mockery of the cruise lines' all-too-frequent public declaration that 'passenger safety is our number one priority.'

It is my belief that, above all, we should be striving to provide the benefits of this taxpayer-owned resource of the American public.

I believe we need a comprehensive approach that advances 5G while also making investments that will strengthen rural broadband.

tourism in California in particular is a major economic driver, in my district of Sacramento alone, the travel industry earned $4.1 billion in spending and supported more than 31,000 jobs.

I remain committed to advancing policies that would promote better utilization of spectrum to meet the growing demand for wireless services and strengthen our economy.

Our focus on 5G cannot come at the expense of real students, businesses, doctors, and farmers that still need reliable, high-speed broadband.

While many of us were excited about the promise of the RFS and the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our Nation's transportation sector, it's been clear for the past two and a half years that it's not an interest of this…

I have significant concerns that the Commission may be pursuing alternatives to public auctions that could divert proceeds from American taxpayers to private corporations.

Ensuring that the maximum amount of spectrum in the C-band is made available for 5G, while respecting the needs of incumbent users, should be a shared principle in our approach to this issue.

this is a public asset. Even FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said a couple weeks ago, this is a public asset.

My biggest concern is that lies spread faster than the speed of light in the internet, while truth seems to go at a snail's pace on it.
