I am very concerned about the way in which this bill strips the FCC of its authority under Section 706

The Public Record
Frank Joseph Pallone is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 6th congressional district since 1993. A member of the Democratic Party, Pallone has been a prominent advocate for health care reform, environmental protection, and consumer rights. He has played a key role in shaping legislation related to public health and climate change, often speaking out against policies he views as detrimental to these areas.
I welcome their interest in bipartisan legislation so long as it is truly bipartisan from the start.
4 million Americans reached out to the FCC demanding strong net neutrality protections.
It is how we apply for a job. It is how we help our kids with our homework. It is how we grow our businesses.
I believe that ensuring appropriate access to primary care is critical to improving our healthcare system.
And then, of course, down the road, it may be that they have a condition that worsens drastically for lack of a modest amount of care and then becomes a burden on the entire system.
I do not associate myself with the comments of two witnesses here today. ... I am deeply opposed to many proposals discussed here today.
I say we have plenty of money, and if we don't start talking about reasonable revenue, as the President did last night in his State of the Union, then, again, I say shame on us.
What I hope is that we can agree first that SGR shouldn't be paid for off the backs of beneficiaries.
I believe that because the SGR is the result of a budget gimmick and we have already spent $169 billion paying to fix the problem, that offsets, especially those within our health programs, are not necessary.
I strongly believe----and I hope the chairman does too----that after this hearing we should wait no longer to roll up our sleeves and get down to the work of ensuring the bipartisan, bicameral bill agreed to last year is enacted into law…
I just want to thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota for yielding us extra time.
I want to thank the gentlewoman and remind my colleagues that we have a lot of speakers, so if you can limit your remarks, we would appreciate it. Mr. Speaker, I yield now to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Kildee).
I thank the gentlewoman. Mr. Speaker, I yield now to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), our Democratic leader.
I now yield to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Rahall), who himself has been the ranking member of two committees.
It's an honor to rise tonight and speak on behalf of my friend and colleague--the Dean of the House of Representatives--John Dingell. A proud son of Michigan, John Dingell has dedicated his life to helping those on society's margins and…
We need a national GMO labeling system that works for farmers, that works for food companies, but that also works for consumers.
We believe that a factual, informative, nonjudgmental disclosure on the back of the package would help address this confusion.
Some who oppose mandatory GE labeling argue that such labeling would be inherently misleading.
I fully understand why consumers want to know what goes into the food they serve their families.
