We may very well be needing to focus on the radio frequency spectrum that is in the public domain; but, Mr. Speaker, this Congress is ignoring the greatest spectrum that the American people are demanding, and that's where are the jobs. We're not focusing on public policies that are going to create a stronger economy and create jobs. In fact, we are developing policy over and over again that this leadership of this House and this Senate and the President are forcing upon the American people that are going to take away jobs. The ObamaCare bill is going to kill millions of jobs. The jobs bill that we saw in past jobs I and II, et cetera, are going to kill jobs and not create jobs. They're going to create government jobs. And the American people are asking where are the jobs, not where is the spectrum. Radio spectrum, though, that is an important issue. But this Congress needs to focus upon jobs, Mr. Speaker, and the American people need to demand that this Congress do just that.
