Olympia Snowe: “We are asking today that the Committee move expeditiously to pass the legislation drafted last year by Senators Kerry…”

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.

Do you think it is possible to draw a line, the cutoff on $250,000?

We would not have connectivity and all that it brings to our schools and libraries if it were not for E-Rate.

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