The petition requested that the FCC promulgate regulations to change the contribution methodology for the Telecom Relay Service Fund.

I appreciate your leadership on that.

We are not looking to get into trade wars. We are looking to make sure that U.S. companies can compete fairly around the world.

I appreciate your testimony.

Last September, Representative Mark Takano and I, as co-chairs of the Congressional Deaf Caucus, sent you a letter regarding a petition for rulemaking.

I can tell you I haven't had many constituents come and say: I wish I had a new Federal regulation that came from an unaccountable bureaucrat to respond to and which I don't have the personnel to handle.

I am concerned that after everything we have done to help our constituents through tax reform, that tariffs... are going to undermine some of these recent gains.

If we want an agency that is unaccountable to Congress and has been called the most powerful, most unaccountable agency ever created in the Federal Government, then, depending on who wins the Presidency, you are either going to love or…

This indicates to me, in a very real-world example, that the tariffs on those washing machines and solar panels actually led to a retaliation at the detriment of American farmers.

I want to associate my remarks with those of the chairman related to the value of tax reform and its impact on constituents in our districts.

We are only as strong as our weakest link.
