Dean Heller

There is nothing just about this. So this legislation would require that a judge or a magistrate make this determination.

I commend his steadfast determination in raising awareness for those who keep us safe, and I share his commitment in helping veterans in need.

I know everybody here shares the same concerns about homeless veterans as I do.

I believe that four key elements should anchor this conversation. First, public safety is critical.

I believe that a sweeping new law could be a positive force--but also a destabilizing one.

This method is convenient for the FCC, but it is not good government, and we owe more to Americans with business before the FCC.

The problem as I see it today is that the FCC can pick and choose the rules it wants to follow when it wants to follow them.

Every government agency should be committed to policies that promote job creation, investment and innovation.

A more predictable and consistent FCC will create jobs in Nevada.

Do you believe that the FCC should include the actual language of any and all proposed new rules in every NPRM?

I am concerned that the FCC is not always as open and transparent as it should be.

The industries you regulate are too important to our nation.

I introduced legislation that pushes the FCC toward more transparency and openness.

Congress must push the Federal Communications Commission to be the most open and transparent agency in the Federal Government.

I strongly believe that a cost-benefit analysis should be conducted on any regulation that will have a significant market impact.

That's why Congress should look at the laws regulating content distributors that are on the books and determine what makes sense and what does not for a world with a participant who is unregulated.

I would hope that we have more hearings like this, Mr. Chairman.

An unregulated Internet market has been a dynamic force and it's created many substantial and well-paying jobs abroad and, of course, in the state of Nevada.

These advancements beg the question of whether the laws passed in the twentieth century are outdated in relation to today's changing landscape.

I would respectfully ask in the near future that we hold an oversight hearing on the FCC and discuss some reforms that I've introduced.

They should do this while remembering that content should be protected and compensated accordingly.

I want to be clear, this is not an issue about location. This is the result of poor decisionmaking and leadership by the administrator of the GSA.

I fully agree that it was inappropriate for the GSA to waste taxpayer dollars, but it is not inappropriate to come to Las Vegas for conventions and meetings.

Like many taxpayers I was shocked and disappointed to read the Inspector General's report that found expenditures at this conference were excessive, wasteful, and in total ignorance of Federal procurement laws and internal GSA policy on…

87 percent of Nevada's lands are controlled by the federal government--so the health of our communities is intertwined with our public lands and the actions of land management agencies.
