Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 906, the Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency Act, led by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman), my good friend. Entities with ties to our adversaries--China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea--are threats to our communications networks, unfortunately, but it is a reality. This legislation requires the FCC to publish a list of those entities holding a license, authorization, or other authority granted by the FCC. Understanding which adversaries are in our networks and the threats they pose, is necessary to securing our networks. I thank Representative Wittman, a great Member, for his leadership on this bill, which passed last Congress by voice vote, and I urge my colleagues to support this very important and necessary bill. I reserve the balance of my time, Mr. Speaker.
