"Independence does not mean the FCC is free to ignore clear congressional direction."

"I look forward to working with you and other members of the subcommittee and Commission to ensure intellectual property continues to be respected."

"Independence and transparency are not furthered by less than forthright responses to congressional questions."

"The FCC has a responsibility to play an important and positive role in ensuring that the United States continues to lead the world in innovation and communication."
