Olympia Snowe: “We are going to make sure that BP repays all that assistance, correct?”

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.

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.

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.
