“I believe what we will do in this legislation will demonstrate a bipartisan commitment to freedom on the airwaves at a time that intemperate remarks are being made by others in Washington, D.C., both within the Capitol Building and within the punditocracy that surrounds this Capitol Building. This Congress in bipartisan numbers, and I trust the numbers will be large, will say ``yes'' to freedom on the airwaves, ``yes'' to the freedom of expression, and ``yes'' to the freedom of the press. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to reject the ``unfairness doctrine'' and vote ``aye'' on the Pence amendment on behalf of my colleagues Jeff Flake and Jeb Hensarling.”
