I understand that some in the online advertising and technology industry... believe that industry self-regulation is possible.

Thank you very much, Mr. Fowler.

I believe that consumers need to have a larger voice when it comes to their online experience and their data.

I hope that this committee will continue to work together to find the appropriate legislative balance.

We need to ensure that consumers have the protections they deserve.

I believe that industry actions are moving this privacy conversation forward in a positive way.

The airport improvement program is essential to many communities, both rural and urban.

I hope you can commit to making sure that cold weather airports... get the flexibility they need to complete infrastructure improvements.

I understand that in the final order of the new regulations that it only applied to commercial pilots.

I don't think it's fair to change the rules midstream, and I hope you'll work to find a way to help these airports complete their projects.

Senator Sessions, who could not be here today, but is my Ranking Member, and Senator Grassley, as well.

Sometimes people are very bureaucratic in their testimony, and this was very personal, which I truly appreciated.

I wanted to thank all of you for being here today. We had, I think, a really good discussion.

I read one study that showed that two-thirds of public defenders and one-third of prosecutors admitted questioning children in a manner designed to confuse a child.

I have been in the field for a decade, and I just went through this program, and it is a night-and-day difference of how qualified I am now to do this work.

I will tell you my own experience, luckily, not a violent case.
