I have sponsored an amendment to the MOBILE NOW bill that would ask agencies involved to complete a report on this issue.

I want to commend Chairman Thune for including in his MOBILE NOW legislation language that would create a Federal infrastructure asset data base.

I was pleased to join a number of my colleagues yesterday in a letter led by Senator Manchin and Senator Gardner that asks the FCC to work with the FCC and industry to address the shortcomings in the existing coverage data.

How important this is for our auto industry, in particular, for saving lives, where we know that these applications will save tens of thousands of lives.

I do need to leave to speak on the floor, so I appreciate this opportunity.

There should be no ambiguity about that. It should be clear cut, straightforward, that the public has a right to know.
