Absent a change in law, the FCC can't hold any auction of consequence to bring about the 5G revolution.

I want to again thank the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Shimkus), who I believe is also a West Point graduate. We appreciate his counsel, and I concur. I appreciate working with the House Armed Services Committee and its very able chairman…

I appreciate the comments of the gentleman from New Jersey as we work on this together. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Shimkus), chairman of our Subcommittee on Environment and a veteran himself. (Mr. SHIMKUS asked…

Let there be no mistake: The race to 5G is a sprint, not a marathon.

Our men and women in uniform have put their lives on the line for this country, and they deserve to have the earliest possible access to medical products that could save their lives on the battlefield. H.R. 4374 will establish important…
