I want to thank you for having this hearing on this important topic of spectrum.
It is important to recognize that spectrum legislation is not only necessary but it has traditionally been bipartisan.
I believe that we have to approach this from a balanced position between licensed spectrum--the frequencies used to transmit radio, TV, and broadband signals--and the unlicensed spectrum, which supports technologies such as Wi-Fi.
I want to thank all of you for very reasoned statements. And this is--I consider it one of the most important decisions that I will make.
If Congress does not permit sanctions to be lifted under the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA), will other countries continue to cooperate with U.S.
So, to recapitulate then, if we were to reject it, the money is likely to flow because it is in the hands of foreign banks that would not be compelled to adhere to the United States wishes at that point.
Therefore, if we denied the lifting of economic sanctions, that money is in the hands of foreign banks.
Over the last week, I met with a grieving mom whose daughter, on her honeymoon, when the traffic had stopped on Interstate 95...
And this particular truck was intrastate, not interstate, so what rules that we have up here...
If the United States really seized control of the campaign against ISIS, we can speed up ISIS defeat, but that it would come at a great cost to our servicemembers, and that another group with another name and ideology would just be back in…
I thank the distinguished chairman of the Finance Committee. I will be back at 5 o'clock to speak on behalf of our nominee for TSA, Admiral Neffenger. ____________________
Do you think that rental car companies should be prohibited from leasing vehicles under recall until they are fixed?
We strongly support the concept that they should be fixed before they are rented to a customer.
But I am trying to get at this. Hasn't Takata blamed the defective airbags on how your plants handled the ammonium nitrate propellants and how your plants assembled the inflators?
Mr. Schostek announced Honda's support for S. 1173 at the hearing on June 23, 2015.
What about all these deaths in the South? Do you think humidity is one of the contributing factors?
Is that the type of concern that your safety audits were intended to identify?
Would you want your daughter to drive a vehicle with a Takata airbag that you had replaced the batwing ammonium nitrate?
We haven't dropped it. We have experts from Penn State. We have experts from Georgia Tech.
So if you are saying that these pyrotechnic handling problems had to do with the safety of the inflators, wouldn't you have had a clue in 2006 when that happened?
