Who are the--if you can just sort of--a standard description of the individuals or businesses that are using bots to acquire tickets. Who's the culprit here?

So this is a result of stolen identity?

If there was a broader discussion to occur, who needs to be involved in that conversation?

The goal here is to create the circumstance in which you can't acquire a huge magnitude of the tickets that are available.

Let me begin my questioning by making sure I have an understanding of what's legal and what's illegal.

We want to thank Senators Moran, Schumer, Fischer, and Blumenthal for introducing this legislation to benefit fans, artists, and live event venues alike.

Thank you very much.

I believe it is appropriate to make the use of bots an unfair and deceptive practice if used to circumvent an Internet website's ticket access control measures.

I also support the provisions in Sec. (b) and (c) of the bill that grant authority to the FTC and state attorneys general to enforce the proposed law.

I strongly support the chief provisions in the proposed Federal BOTS Act of 2016, bill S. 3183.

I would like to thank my Commerce colleagues for their interest and support in this issue.

I look forward to a robust discussion today about many of these proposals.

In this particular circumstance, justice needs to be had.

It seems to me that the likelihood of termination is minimized and often an individual is transferred.

It is outrageous that someone with a criminal record would be hired and put in a position to care for veterans.

The reality is, as I think about that statement, it's not the business we want to shield from harmful government regulation, it's the consequence that that harmful government regulation has to the consumer.

The Clear Plus Act (S. 927), introduced by Senators Jerry Moran and Jon Tester.

A part of this is also the need for a growing economy.

I am worried that for a number of reasons, but in significant part the regulatory environment is reducing access to credit.

The constant concern, and there was plenty of evidence before and after passage of the legislation, is that the IRS agents were not at all properly trained in interacting with tribes.

Senator Heitkamp and I worked to pass legislation generally referred to as the General Welfare Exclusion Act.

I would just point out that I am here serving in my capacity as a member of this Committee but there are four or five of us on this Committee who are members of the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee.

Would the folks I know in my Rural Development office in Topeka have had specific training through USDA with regard to issues in dealing with tribes?

I was generally pleased to learn that our tribes believe that the Rural Development State officials are doing a good job.

One of the places we ought to focus our attention is on innovation, startup businesses, new entrepreneurs.
