Ron Klink: “The FCC is essentially the agency that would be able to consult with the Department of Justice under the manager's mark…”

On the recordAugust 4, 1995
The FCC is essentially the agency that would be able to consult with the Department of Justice under the manager's mark that we passed this morning. But when we talk about going from a monopoly industry, which telecom was after 1934, to a competition-based industry, the competition agency, those who keep the rule, those who decide if there is a dangerous probability, if those gigantic billionaires players are being fair, is the Department of Justice. Mr. Chairman, I simply say that the Conyers amendment makes sure that fairness is done, that the referee is in place. I urge my colleagues to support the Conyers amendment.
