Olympia Snowe: “We must ask whether this request is adequate to meet the increasingly complex needs of our nation's homeland security…”

I just encourage all of us to think about children, about the problems they face, and about our responsibility to help them navigate their way through those waters.

By the end of this decade, I believe that every school in America should have 1 gigabit of connectivity.

I do want to acknowledge the bipartisan effort and support for the E-Rate Program by Chairman Rockefeller and Maine's original E-Rate champion, Olympia Snowe.

Due in no small part to the leadership of Senators Rockefeller and Snowe, the E-Rate program from its inception focused on providing high-capacity transmission services to libraries and schools.
