When originally championed by Senator Olympia Snowe in the 1990s as part of the Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA), National Standard 8 was intended to provide the crucial, missing balance to those elements of the SFA that were focused strictly on fish stock conservation.
Snowe emphasized the importance of balancing conservation with economic impacts in fishery management.

By the end of this decade, I believe that every school in America should have 1 gigabit of connectivity.
In closing, libraries are vital community technology hubs, and we simply cannot allow inadequate bandwidth to be the limiting factor for what our students and our nations can achieve.
We would not have connectivity and all that it brings to our schools and libraries if it were not for E-Rate.
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.
