I hope we can all agree is counter to our shared goals.

I support the idea of a broad, bipartisan effort to address the need for rural broadband.

As Congress works on President Biden's American Jobs Plan--it is critical that we consider solutions to our Nation's infrastructure challenges that not only close the digital divide, but address historic inequities--that have for far too…

Equity in broadband access, affordability, and adoption is more important than ever.

It's critical that more join this program--so that as many folks as possible can take advantage of this benefit.

These services are not luxuries. They are necessities that everyone needs in order to participate in society.

The Biden ask--a $100 billion plan that is being proposed--just doesn't work.

I have always believed in the power of competition, and study after study has shown that consumers pay more in markets that are served by monopolies or duopolies.

Equity and broadband access, affordability, and adoption is more important than ever.

The switch to zero-emission vehicles is coming.

I think a lot of people said, 'Oh, I had COVID, and I didn't even know it.' And they just kind of passed it along as being something that is not serious, but it is serious.

My son Kevin is a COVID long-hauler. I have been watching this up close and personal every day how this young, healthy athletic person... now he can't get out of bed sometimes and had to start going on disability at his job.

It is critical that NTIA play the role given to it by Congress to manage Federal spectrum resources.

We need national policies that aren't just built for the moment. We need to plan and legislate for the future.

Spectrum is the fuel that has been powering our Nation's wireless deployments.

The importance of wireless has never been greater. 5G networks and beyond will grow our economy and enable revolutionary advances in technology and connectivity.

The importance of wireless has never been greater--5G networks and beyond will grow our economy and enable revolutionary advances in technology and connectivity.

U.S. leadership in the development and deployment of 5G and beyond is crucial.

The Biden administration's infrastructure proposal as well as the Senate's forthcoming Endless Frontiers Act both provide opportunities for major investment.

This technology has the potential to level the playing field, and it is already unleashing the power of American ingenuity and competition.

I think this was a great hearing. I think everybody should take notice that there is bipartisan agreement, I believe, on moving forward.

Ensuring that the United States and folks around the world have secure networks depends on vendors' ability to be price-competitive with equipment from Huawei and ZTE.

I think Dr. Burgess is over in Rules Committee right now.

I'm sympathetic to what I heard from Mr. Perez and the mayor of the City of Gillette.

The fear you should have coming into this hearing today isn't that you're going to get yelled at by a Member of Congress.
