John Thune actually said...

Expanding reliable and resilient broadband access in rural areas has long been a priority of mine, here in the Senate.

Even though our networks performed very well during the pandemic, I think we can all agree there is still more work to be done.

Reliable and resilient networks across all parts of the United States have never been more critical.

I thank Chairman Ben Ray Lujan and Ranking Member John Thune, as well as the other esteemed members of the subcommittee.
