Roger Wicker

I just wondered if you, Ms. Neufang, or any other members of the panel can pinpoint...

Senator Shaheen, the Portman-Sinema substitute provides in title 1 of the division on broadband that ``[n]othing in this title may be construed to authorize the Assistant Secretary or the National Telecommunications and Information…

I, too, rise in support of this amendment. It is in response to a tragic automobile accident that affected a number of families. I want to thank Senator Schumer's staff for working with me, the ranking member, and the chair of the Commerce…

I could not be more delighted to be here, nor could I be more supportive of my friend and fellow Mississippian, Dr. Homer Wilkes.

As Senator Wicker stated, trees sequester carbon, and as we know, that carbon sequestration could be a major, a major part of actually controlling and helping with climate change.

At this time I ask unanimous consent that the Senate recess until 2:15 p.m. There being no objection, the Senate, at 1:12 p.m., recessed until 2:15 p.m. and reassembled when called to order by the Presiding Officer (Mr. Lujan)…

Thank you very much.

I appreciate their willingness to serve.

The CSB is an independent, non-regulatory agency charged with investigating the root causes of chemical accidents at industrial facilities.

Thank you, Chairman Merkley, and I appreciate your calling today's subcommittee hearing.

So I identify with at least two members of the panel here.

Senator Wicker and I today are sending a letter to the Secretary of Commerce about the need to upgrade and identify information and proprietary information critical to our security system.

Do you think us stakeholders' viewpoints were heard during this necessarily hurried-up process?

I'm astounded by the hundreds of open recommendations that you mentioned.

No company should stand alone in the face of threats from countries that want to do us harm.

I appreciate that statement, but more action is needed to push back on threats from China and hold Beijing accountable for its malicious behavior.

I think government should be nimble in situations like this and I know there has been a frustration on this side of the dais that government is quite often slow and creaky.

One other thing that our colleagues might not understand about the OSCE is their role in election observation. As we were leaving Sofia on the morning of July 11, we crossed paths with some other representatives from the OSCE from European…

So strengthen our roads as we as we build them.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and good to be here with you today.

Today, the Senate passed the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act--USICA--legislation which would establish a new Technology and Innovation Directorate at the National Science Foundation. Section 2005 of USICA would define 10 initial key…

What we need here, in essence, is a Bill of Rights for college athletes.

The only way to ensure that all student athletes across the country have the same NIL rights and protections, is for Congress to act.

And time is of the essence, because the Senate Commerce Committee has certainly not been the only body taking up the NIL issue.

A Federal NIL law also needs to ensure that institutions, conferences, and athletic associations are not held liable for past rules governing NIL compensation during the transition to the new system.
