Frank Pallone actually said...

"The Federal Communications Commission is an independent agency created by and accountable to Congress."

"It is our duty to ensure the Commission's actions advance those goals and hold the Chairman and Commissioners accountable when the agency does not."

"Unfortunately, the Republican majority of this committee has been unwilling to follow through on its promise to hold quarterly oversight hearings with the FCC."

"Since the FCC is shirking its responsibility, Congress should be conducting more oversight in the future."
