We need this legislation. It will preserve your good policy while reducing unneeded paperwork and enabling us to continue serving homebound seniors in Oregon and all across America.

I believe this is creating an access-to-care crisis, particularly in rural parts, not only in my district, but across the country.

Again, if I could take my phone into the home and have the doctor on the other side, which we all know can be done today, why should we have to transport a patient 142 miles over icy, foggy roads for a face-to-face so they can go back home?

I mean, there are so many stupid things in delivery of care right now, driven by either litigation or regulation that we need to get past so we put the patients first.

when some contractors, some bureaucrats, some rule writer comes up with one of these things back here in Washington, they don't have a clue what they are doing in real life out on the ground, and that needs to change, and it needs to…

Empowering broadcasting for the 21st century means embracing policies that diversify it to reflect the society it serves.

These laws must change.

Our laws were written for an era of limited voices. But this is an era of communications competition.

We are all committed to fostering competition, localism, and diversity of perspectives in a healthy and vibrant media industry.

I have gone way beyond my time, but I will now defer to my colleague from California, Ms. Eshoo.

I continue to be concerned with the Commission's failure to adhere to sound regulatory process.

that USF should spend money where no one else will spend.

I don't think they have got it right yet.

the job is not done.

I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. LaMalfa) for yielding and for working with me on this amendment as well, which will assist our Klamath project farmers in the Klamath Basin. As you pointed out, there is a long history of water…

I would just say, as somebody who has been involved in these issues going back to 1999, I have worked with the tribes. I have worked with irrigators to prove fish passage and to help improve fish health. So I really take offense to the…

If the gentleman will yield, I am just saying there is a better way to have this discussion than hurling the kind of language you are hurling around, because a lot of us have worked, both sides, bipartisan, and a lot of work. I open the…

I want to thank the chairman of the committee, Fred Upton, and Diana DeGette for their great bipartisan work. And we all put a shoulder to the wheel here to get this done. This is really big, 21st Century Cures. All of us have known…

I want to thank the members of the committee on both sides, my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, for their great work on this legislation. This is really, really important. My colleague from Oregon (Mr. Schrader) spoke eloquently…

Last year, NTIA announced that it would work to transition the stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority to the multistakeholder community, frankly, to a chorus of concern.

The past several decades have been really hard on Oregon's forested communities as timber harvest from Federal lands dropped more than 90 percent because of, in part, litigation, lack of management, government regulation. Across the State…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following new section: resource management…

I would suggest that the spotted owl is covered by their planning process today in some measure because it certainly contributed to the downfall of our communities, absent this plan. Look, all we are asking for is time for people to have a…

A year later, I am proud of the work this subcommittee has done to ensure that the IANA transition preserves the Internet we know.
