Improving telehealth is a bipartisan issue. I have worked to advance telehealth with Senators Thune and Wicker, among others.

Did it ever occur to you to say, 'You know, I've got these doubts now...'

So we'll follow up with each of the Commissioners. This is an essential part of policy here.

I think that's consistent with what we do offline and there's no reason not to do that.

I think we all agree on that, but if the U.S. isn't providing concrete alternatives... they're going to adopt those standards and they're not going to inure to our benefit.

Congress should act to protect the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield by making the Privacy Shield Ombudsperson a permanent position.

We are here today to talk about governing an Internet that is truly international.

I don't think there's any First Amendment protection for impersonating Americans or for bot nets or for automated trolling.

I do want to understand whether there's anything for the legislative branch to do, other than stay out of the way.

We're advocating for additional spectrum right adjacent to the upper band of 5 gigahertz.

I think more people enjoying and appreciating our oceans and coasts is a good thing, because people are willing to take care of the things that they love and that they enjoy.

It just simply makes sense to build more resilient coastal infrastructure.

If you destroy coastal ecosystems, then what you end up having to do, as a city or a town, is essentially levy taxes to reconstitute those services that the ecosystem provides.

I do not do hearings so I can put a clip up on YouTube.

Thank you for having this bipartisan hearing. I want to thank you for the way you conduct all of your hearings.

CRA was passed to stop redlining, correct?

Your job, as you know, is partly to tell the truth about technology.

We are just maddened by the FCC's process, just deeply, deeply frustrated both with the inaccuracy of the maps...

We all know our states really well, and we can look at a place and say, nope.

Yesterday, as you know, Congress passed a law requiring you to consider alternative credit scoring models, which actually sounds pretty good to me.
