Amy Klobuchar

The importance of broadband deployment to the issues that we are talking about.

I have always been a big booster of the Foreign Service and the people that can help us provide help to companies.

I joined my colleagues in calling on the USTR Ambassador to make small businesses a priority in trade negotiations.

In 2016, the FCC, as we have discussed here, directed the Universal Service Administrative Company to develop this Eligibility Verifier.

I believe broadband deployment is the infrastructure challenge of our generation.

I appreciated our meeting and discussion about his work and plans for work with Secretary Ross.

American workers and businesses deserve a level playing field.

That is why Senator Klobuchar and I have developed the Next Generation 9-1-1 Act of 2017.

I definitely think it would. You had mentioned earlier the proposed budget as well.

We need the security of knowing year-to-year what is going to be the volumes, so that infrastructure can be built.

It needs to follow the statute for all portions there, because that will strengthen the market and the demand for the grain inputs.

I believe that it should be strengthened and not made more difficult.

But the new technologies--with any new technology, as we know, comes new risks.

This system is urgently in need of upgrades.

I know you've been working directly with public safety officials to tailor these unique state plans.

Thank you very much.

The evolution of our 9-1-1 infrastructure to Next Generation 9-1-1 is a national imperative.

I worked with Senator Thune on the Rural Health Care Connectivity Act to make skilled nursing facilities eligible for funding.

We don't have this digital divide, which is getting tougher and tougher for rural states.

It's very important to our country and innovation and everything else.

I carried the bill to lift the embargo.

Well, certainly at some point he's going to be subpoenaed.

It's not just Russia. It's what's going on with immigration and the refugee order. It's what's happening with the voting rights and this commission that's been set up.

So we have an obligation to get to the bottom of this and to allow the special counsel to do their job.

I think that this is a foreign entity that's trying to influence our Democracy.
