So, really, when you talk about education, isn't the best means of education deterrence, in other words, enforcement?

Well, on enforcement, can you make some suggestions for how either the rules can be made more enforceable or what can be done to ensure greater enforcement?

We all know that cruise ships are a potential source of debris and waste.

I am shocked you would consider going forward with such a vote affecting media ownership regulations without a full, up-to-date Quadrennial Review.

As a former attorney general, the allegations in the complaint certainly seem to me like fraud. They're charging customers for Internet speeds they fail to provide, which seems a little bit like theft, stealing. Would you agree?

Are you aware of any contacts or intervention by the White House in any past or pending merger, including the AT&T/Time Warner merger?

Would you commit to reviewing the lawsuit that has been brought by 35 states and taking action, if appropriate?

I couldn't be more delighted and proud to welcome Jessica Rosenworcel here today along with her family.

I think that the FCC has a responsibility to know what's happening with broadband prices, does it not?

I've been alarmed by reports, and I've written to the nominee by the Trump administration for Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust expressing my concern about those reports that indicated that the White House might try to use the…

I hope to continue to welcome her back to Connecticut on issues like the pervasive scourge of robocalls.

If you have met--and I hope you have--veterans who have waited for years for their claims to be resolved, and you hear and feel their justifiable anger, I would like you to feel that anger yourselves.

I think it is also your responsibility to give us your best opinion, because as much as we would like to think we are well informed, and we are probably better informed than a lot of our colleagues on these issues, we have nothing like the…

Well, you predicted it is going to expand. If it does, yes or no?

Thanks, Mr. Chairman, and thanks for your kind words earlier today about working together on the Denver facility and on the bipartisanship that characterizes everything we do on this Committee.

The Navy correctly identifies... the difficulty of recruiting, retaining, and most importantly, training that defense industrial base.

The fleet is being run into a shambles with less than half of the tactical fighters able to fly.

We've got to do it all because we are too small today.

There are more questions than answers right now.

Clearly, the prelude to this meeting indicated criminal intent of a conspiracy to receive information from the Russians, to collude with the Russians in interfering with our elections.

My hope is that Kushner and Trump and Manafort will all come before the committee.

A full hour meeting certainly merits a readout.

There seems to be a pattern of reckless or willful concealment of contacts with the Russians involving Jared Kushner, other members of the Trump family, and now the president of the United States.

This eight individual, who represented their family with potential, financial or other ties to Russian, is part of this pattern of concealment beginning in June, but going through even the period before and after the election and the…

Our commitment to NATO is based not just on the strength of specific allies in numbers of troops or tanks or planes, but on their will to defend themselves and their commitment to freedom.
