So we have a joint member T-Mobile who has already deployed in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Yes, that is a great question. And the answer is without a doubt.

The only thing I would note for rural areas in particular, you know, many of them are still going from 3G to 4G, so this spectrum is critically important to get access to it immediately so that they can get to their next generation of…

I think it would detrimentally affect that. Our carriers showed up to this auction in droves because they need the spectrum.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this legislation, and I want to thank all my colleagues who worked in a bipartisan manner to make it happen. Patients and providers in my district and across…

Kansas was so bad that they had to repeal what they had done.

I am glad to hear all these great amendments that have been made in order, and I was glad to hear my friend from Alabama reference the fact that this is a bill to make the people of America safe. I rise in opposition to this rule because…

I think it is not a legitimate competitive advantage to have very low environmental standards.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 238, noes 184, not voting 8, as follows: [Roll No. 306] AYES--238…

We can't add to our national debt. And I think it is important that it is bipartisan.

I think it is extremely important. And this morning, I was just making some notes to myself, the things that I think are real important, and number one is comprehensive reform, and that is what this bill needs to be, not simply a tax cut…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and thank her for her leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this piece of legislation. This bill undermines our commitment to our veterans, it weakens our background check…

I also believe this debate should be conducted based on facts, not fear.

I happen to believe that our Nation's healthcare policy should be one that promotes the healing and the health of all Americans without hurting millions.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, if this bill did what the previous speaker just said, I would be here to speak in favor of it. Unfortunately, this legislation is a giant leap in the wrong direction with the potential to…

I have got to say my number one goal is to do the 2020 Census in new and innovative ways, and effectively and accurately.

On July 14, Republican leaders recessed the House for 7 weeks without taking a single vote on legislation to help keep Americans safe from gun violence. Ignoring an issue that you don't want to deal with doesn't make it go away. House…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him also for taking the time and the effort to put this Special Order together on such an important issue, important to all Americans. I was a little bit taken aback. I came down to the floor…

Republican leaders are recessing the House for 7 weeks without their taking a single vote on legislation to help stop the mass gun violence that has become far too common in our country. More than 30 people are killed every day by someone…

In the 1 month since 102 people were shot and 49 were killed in Orlando, Republican leadership in this House has done nothing to help stop the kind of mass gun violence that has claimed the lives of more than 34,000 people in the last…

Yesterday, right outside of my district, two individuals with AK-47s held up an armored car. They shot one of the guards, and they took off and ended up in my district where police stopped them. One of them shot at the local police…

I urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question so that our ranking member can bring up his amendment to prevent suspected terrorists, people who are on the FBI's no-fly list, people who can't fly on an airplane because the FBI has…

Why is it that more than 80 percent of NRA members and over 80 percent of gun owners support background checks? Well, I will tell you why. It is because they are responsible gun owners; and responsible gun owners understand that there is…

More than 80 percent of NRA members and over 80 percent of gun owners support background checks. It is because they are responsible gun owners. Responsible gun owners understand that there is nothing wrong with making sure that a…
