Olympia Snowe: “Just on that last issue on the improper payments, is it difficult to define what an improper payment is?”

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

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.

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

The E-Rate program has fundamentally transformed education in this country.
