NTIA's recent announcement identifying 100 mega-hertz of Federal spectrum to study for wireless broadband use is great news.

I wish you the best of luck with this critical and quite challenging task.

I think H.R. 1320, the bill that Representative Kinzinger and I have introduced and which you highlighted in your testimony, would address this issue.

It is clear to me that the nuclear energy industry is critical to our country. It provides us reliable baseload power with no carbon emissions.

That nuclear plant kept running in the worst part of the hurricane. So that is an important part. It is reliable, it is there, it is clean, we have to make more of it.

Many of these 123 Agreements and standards were drafted at a time of American dominance in the nuclear sector.

I share Chairman Blackburn's and this committee's goal of ensuring that all Americans have access to broadband.

Thank you, Madam Chair for holding this hearing, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing before us today.

I just wanted to clarify that, that this is not a solution to rural broadband.

I want to start by recognizing a great Pittsburgher on the panel and great CEO of the American Cable Association, Matt Polka.

If we are serious about solving this problem, and we believe that people living in rural areas should have access to reasonably comparable service, we need to appropriate the funds necessary for that buildout.

It would seem to me far more prudent to have hold a series of hearings so that members would have an opportunity to discuss and understand the proposals before us.

Many of my colleagues and myself are greatly concerned by the budget request we received from the Department of Energy earlier this year.

I would, sir, but again, that is a final decision that is going to be made by OMB and the Congress itself.

Yes. Yes, they will.

Yes, we will be doing that, too. Thank you.

President Trump's repeated promises on clean coal throughout the campaign and presidency, I want to point out that many members on both sides of the aisle support technological innovations that aim to achieve that goal.

The kind of legal framework that motivates the companies to do the work that we want them to do.

This report is truly frightening. The report alleges that Backpage knowingly facilitated child sex trafficking.

I understand that this is an issue that you have been working on for some time and that the SAVE Act that you wrote, and which has become law, is starting to be used to combat online sex trafficking.

I want to thank you for your efforts and the efforts of your organizations. Be assured this is an issue of great concern to all of us.

Human trafficking in all its forms and, in particular, sexual trafficking of children and adults is an abhorrent crime.

Human trafficking in all its forms--and in particular sexual trafficking of children and adults--is an abhorrent crime.

The Chairman is getting ready to allow broadband providers to block and edit speech on the internet at their discretion

The only way you have privacy today is, I call it to go Flintstone, to have the old flip phone
