At this time I would like to officially open the Small Business Committee's field hearing in Durham to explore the impact of net neutrality on New Hampshire's small businesses.

the frustration for me is the responses to all of the points that all of you have made this morning have really been nonexistent.

I'm pleased that we'll have it as part of the record of the Small Business Committee and look forward to working to address both what the FCC has done and to think about how we can do bipartisan legislation that will really provide some…

the biggest argument that I've heard for repealing net neutrality has been that, well, it will provide for more innovation.

I want to begin by thanking the 115,000 career employees of the Department of Justice.

For States like New Hampshire, where we have no sanctuary cities, it puts us at a special disadvantage.

One of the things that we heard very strongly from the families of those Americans murdered by those terrorists--executed, really--is that they wanted to see that the people who killed them were brought to justice.

I do have a concern that, as I look at the budget proposal for fiscal year 2019, the Department has requested addressing these numerous missions with less funding.

I want to go back to the Census questions.

I certainly hope you will do that.

Well, this is a longstanding congressionally-mandated formula grant program. Why does DOJ think it can place conditions on this program which has been operating for so many years based on the mandate that Congress has given it?

I appreciate your interest in efficiency, although I've heard from the folks who participate in HIDTA in New Hampshire that they are very happy where they are.
