It's a great idea as to how we're going to bring broadband to rural areas.

I urge swift action on AIRWAVES and STREAMLINE to help us win the 5G race.

unlicensed spectrum is a critical component of any wireless solution.

The progress that they have made on our core priorities this year is laudable.

The 6 gigahertz band, do you believe there is any potential for unlicensed services in the 6 gigahertz band?

it's critical that we look at solutions like that.

I commend Senators Thune and Schatz for their STREAMLINE Act that provides a commonsense and balanced framework.

we will not negotiate their security with the People's Republic of China.

What are we left with in the South China Sea? I mean, they have militarized the islands.

Thank you for inviting me to this important hearing on democracy, human rights and rule of law in China.

This hearing is the second hearing in a three-part series of hearings titled 'The China Challenge,' which will examine how the United States should respond to the challenge of a rising China that seeks to upend and supplant the U.S.-led…

Today Senator Markey and I and Senator Rubio, Senator Menendez introduced a bill called the Taipei Act.

I think that, if the bottom line is we want to signal that we are willing to stand by Taiwan...

I think it is unacceptable that we have not employed that executive order yet.

The legislation sets a comprehensive policy framework to demonstrate U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region and the rules-based international order.
