These goals include using auction revenue to fund multiple priorities, such as the creation of a nationwide public safety broadband and network known as FirstNet.

Our job should be to resist the importuning of special interests and help the FCC make this groundbreaking auction an historic success.

The Justice Department wrote the FCC earlier this year to emphasize how important it is for competition and consumers that this low band spectrum not be dominated by the two big carriers.

It makes no sense to allow the two biggest companies with an already dominant market position to acquire all of this high quality beachfront spectrum.

In my view, the success of the auction will be measured by how well we meet the goals laid out by the law.

The renewable fuel standard is critical in developing next-generation low-carbon biofuels, but it appears that it could be improved to better achieve the intended climate benefits.

As we consider any changes to the RFS, we need to think about how to minimize unintended consequences and assure that we are actually getting the promised climate benefits.

I would like to explore how the RFS aims to reduce carbon pollution, how well it is working and whether there are ways to strengthen its climate benefits.

As President Obama recently emphasized, we must build a 21st century transportation system to address climate change.

Climate change is hurting Americans across the country.

In my district, scientists at UCLA recently predicted that if we fail to reduce carbon pollution, southern California snow packs will fall 42 percent by mid century.

Yet as long as our transportation system relies almost entirely on fossil fuels, we will continue to pollute and drive dangerous climate change.

This is good news for the climate and for families' pocketbooks.

Last year, Americans consumed our lowest amount of oil since 1996.

Having lost in Congress and in court, they are now using the most cynical of tactics: trying to make the law fail.

Where does the Constitution say that members of Congress are supposed to sabotage a law that they didn't vote for?

Something has gone fundamentally wrong when a political party tries to deny health insurance to millions of American families just to advance its narrow partisan interest.

The Constitution says a law is something that is passed by the Congress and signed by the President.

They have never given us a decent replacement. They are not talking about anything constructive.

The goal of this hearing is not to improve the law; the goal is to sabotage the law, regardless of the damage inflicted on the health care system or the millions of American people who, for the first time, will be able to receive…

This law is going to go fully into effect. Millions of Americans are already benefitting from its protections.

I don't think that relief means taking health care coverage away from millions of Americans.

Nearly all U.S. States and territories now have laws that require notice for their own residents when a data breach occurs.

Consumers face severe threats to their financial well-being when data like banking information or Social Security numbers are compromised.

Breaches result from a wide variety of causes.
