I do believe that the employee representatives need to adequately represent their organizations and employees.

I think one might think that the Administration is simply trying to dilute the effectiveness of employee representatives, and that concerns me greatly.

I think it is concerning that the Administration is acting as if employee representation is somehow rote work that anybody just does.

I would say that many of us believe that representing employees and making sure their voices are heard serves the government and the people of the United States of America.

This Committee continues to be an example of really commonsense, bipartisan leadership.

I think one of the things that I'd like you all to address is--we talk about winning the race to 5G, and that's very important, but, increasingly, Americans are feeling like there are winners and there are losers. We want everybody to be a…

I agree that an all-of-the-above approach is the best way to ensure digital opportunity and broadband connectivity among our most hard-to-reach populations.

To achieve our 5G goals, we are going to need different types of spectrum, and mid-band is key.

The notion that you would think they could be manipulated by trial lawyers and that you would speak of them that way is just deeply, deeply offensive.

We keep trying to make excuses for this unbelievable horror that these young people have experienced and it really needs to stop.

It's absolutely unacceptable that our athletes at any point in time could feel that their voices weren't important.

Thank you. Thanks to the persistence of these young men and women.

We need to take responsibility here. Michigan State needs to take responsibility.

It's not just about tracking, it's about letting people know that they have an obligation, it's not optional.

And one might suggest that they never should have needed to sue the university in the first place.

Protecting our athletes has to be the priority.

I want to thank you and Ranking Member Blumenthal for your continued attention to the issue of sexual abuse in the Olympic system.

USA Gymnastics engaged in an egregious response over the course of decades, keeping a file of the complaints against more than 50 coaches hidden away in a drawer.

USOC and USAG and MSU failed me.

We have an obligation to do more and do better.

The system continues to be badly broken and now we are at a turning point.

If Russia is willing and able to attack our election infrastructure, they and others will absolutely attack our Federal agencies.

As my Republican colleague, Senator Lankford, correctly noted, that was a Russian attack on our democracy.

Many Americans depend on the Federal Government of the United States to support and protect their civil rights.

They depend on us to deliver after a natural disaster.
