Greg Walden: “We can easily explain the bill. We know what's in it. We've had a lot…”

On the recordMarch 27, 2012

We can easily explain the bill. We know what's in it. We've had a lot of work on it. We've done public hearings. We've listened to people. We've modified it to accommodate some of the great suggestions we have. We have bipartisan pieces in this bill. And the Commission still has the authority to deny transfers of broadcast license. They just can't go outside of their statutory authority to promulgate rules and kind of grab other issues and force people to do things that they couldn't do under their statutory authority. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Gingrey).

I thank my friend and colleague from Illinois for her support of this legislation and her work on it. Once again, I urge passage of the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no other speakers on my side of the aisle. It is good legislation, bipartisan. It should become law. I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.
