The significant amount of resources that the United States has appropriated to try and address Ebola should not be redirected elsewhere

Thank you for accommodating.

How would you continue to make progress, if we don't provide specific funding?

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

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

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.

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

Let me, if I could, move to the incentive auction, the Broadcaster Relocation Fund, for my remaining 2 minutes.

Every dollar we essentially direct away from the high-cost fund is one less dollar that delivers digital opportunity to rural and low-income Americans.

I am also encouraged by the great progress you are making with New York and New Jersey on the Gateway Tunnel project.

I appreciate your engagement and diligence in ensuring that we put passenger safety first.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has done some great research and funded some projects on how to deal with this.

Funding and continuation, as I mentioned, of the TIGER program is absolutely instrumental in advancing rail projects in the Northeast Corridor (NEC).

I support the increased request for Amtrak, and I am hopeful that we will be able to sustain that over time.

I am grateful to Senator Graham for his leadership of the subcommittee.

We need to do more structural work around democracy.

I will simply join you, Chairman Graham, in saying thank you to Gayle and to everybody in USAID.

We must not allow the urgent to crowd out the important.

I am hopeful that we will continue to work on that this year.

It makes possible projects like this.

I am really concerned about the sufficiency of funding.
