Olympia Snowe: “I hate to be on the other side of a safety issue with you, because we have worked so closely on so many other issues.”

Thank you. I will be a fast talker. And I want to thank all of you for your very impressive testimony.

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

What is needed is honest, fact-based discussion and a genuine bipartisan commitment to solutions.

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.
