Olympia Snowe: “I would be interested in having a timeline about when this should all be happening.”

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.

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.

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

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