Marco Rubio

Lastly, on the question of Iran, I want to return back to kind of the threat that Senator Lankford was pursuing.

But as it stands now, one out of six of those that have been returned...

It would be a mistake in your opinion to simply focus on our fight against ISIS as simply being Syria and Iraq?

So there is now an ISIS presence as well in Afghanistan, including open source reports of terrorist training camps being set up in portions of Afghanistan.

And there has also been open source reporting that ISIS was behind a terrorist attack at a hotel in Tripoli that killed an American citizen.

Isn't it a fact there has now been multiple open source reports in the media that Darnah in Libya has emerged as a central and important and growing hub for ISIS; is that not right?

And in addition, they've now been linked to many of the groups now in Benghazi.

We congratulate Senators Rubio and Booker on the introduction of Wi-Fi Innovation Act which would secure more unlicensed spectrum in the 5 Ghz band.

The demand for wireless mobile data is continuing to explode.

As the need for more spectrum is ever more evident, it is imperative that we continue to explore new spectrum bands.

CTIA appreciates Senator Rubio's and Senator Booker's leadership in pushing to make additional spectrum available for unlicensed use.

I am very worried that if we do not have someone in that position, then those who want to downplay abuses in certain countries are likely to be successful.

False pretense. They thought they were coming here to make a commercial product, and they ended up trapped in this industry.

I want to talk about that. My point is that it is the labor slavery that really is still the predominant number.

I have no problem with the term 'trafficking,' except I think it sometimes sanitizes what we are talking about.

Senator Risch was very correct in terms of identifying that as a key issue.

It has been my experience in the interaction I have had with law enforcement involved in this that you should consider virtually every woman in that industry as being a victim of slavery basically.

It should be an ambassador at large for ending human slavery or modern slavery.

Would a uniform U.S. standard assist in our negotiations with our northern neighbors as they create their own standards for the Great Lakes?

Let me emphasize again that the only way to fix this broken regulatory regime is for Congress to act, and act soon.

The only way to fix this broken system is for Congress to act and act soon.

Today, myself, Chairman Thune, and Ranking Member Nelson will be reintroducing the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act.

How important is this permanent exemption to not just your small business but others in the industry, as well?

One of the challenges we have in this country in the 21st century is the rise of the cost of living in comparison to wages that have been stagnant.

Getting this legislation enacted into law is a top priority of this subcommittee.
