Consumers ought to be the central focus of this debate and we must do better in protecting their online information.

The FCC's premeditated efforts to supersede the Federal Trade Commission's successful, enforcement-based approach to consumer privacy...

The Internet has long been known for being disruptive.

The FCC's approach would protect your data only as far as your ISP is involved.

Consumers expect and should have a uniform experience on the Internet.

The hearing title aptly sums up this approach up as an 'overreach,' but fails to convey the scope of the damage the Commission's actions could have on consumers.

The Commission shortsightedly overlooks the history of this industry and the value of innovation in ISP service offerings.

We must work together to preserve the competition and innovation the Internet embodies.

I am, of course, disappointed that the Democrats cannot support this in its present form. The bill that we worked on last year, by the way, never made it to the House floor, and this one did. {time} 1430 The time is now to act. The time is…

I urge passage of this fine piece of legislation. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Brooks of Alabama). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Walden) that the House suspend…

I rise for my closing statement to oppose the gentleman's amendment. Again, I think it is overly broad. Beyond that, the gentleman from Kentucky kind of hit it on the head when he said that this doesn't require the FCC to do anything in…

I must rise in opposition to this amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Oregon is recognized for 5 minutes.

This one is a little more insidious than the last one because what it does is precisely what the gentleman says it does. It says, ``Nothing in this act can affect the FCC's authority to act in the public interest, convenience, or…
