Marsha Blackburn

I appreciate the conversation that I have had with you, and I know that you have a difficult task in front of you because there is such a low level of trust with this Administration.

How can the U.S. Government tell the world that they want them to accept a multi-stakeholder process when, within our government, the FCC is pushing forward to implement Net neutrality rules?

What kind of message is this Administration sending if the FCC continues to push forward with regulation of the Internet and Net neutrality standards?

If the Commerce Department is going to relinquish control of its contractual authority over the IANA contract, and move control of DNS into a global multi-stakeholder community, the timing and architecture must be perfect.

The U.S. Government is united behind the multi-stakeholder model that enabled the Internet and ICANN.

Telling Congress and the international community that they are serious about relinquishing control, while working to promote Net neutrality, is disingenuous.

We received testimony from our colleagues and the bill's sponsor in the House, Representative Marsha Blackburn and Representative Carolyn Maloney.

we really owe this hearing to the American people, to GM customers, and to the relatives of the 12 individuals that have lost their lives.

we want to know who knew what when.

There is no shortage of issues here in Washington, and I find it so interesting when people come to our offices and ask: What is going on today? As you will hear, whether it is talking about foreign affairs, the job issues, the budget, the…

We are so excited about our talking, we didn't realize that the time had to be split, but so be it. We women stand and abide by the rules of the House, and so we will accept the acknowledgment of the change of time. I will return to…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to stand on the floor of the House and join my female colleagues from both sides of the aisle as we work together to make the dream a reality, which is the dream of a…

I thank the gentlelady for sharing those stories and her insight and what she has experienced in her career and seeking to remove those barriers to overcome obstacles and to make the way smoother for future generations. Indeed, as…

We are so delighted that Mrs. Lummis is here to join with us. I have to tell you she was quite a trailblazer in her State before coming to Congress, as she served as her State's treasurer.

Thank you, Mrs. Maloney. I want to talk for just a moment about some of the women from Tennessee who have made such a significant contribution. Now, each of us standing on the floor tonight have stood in this Chamber and have fought for…

How true it is that we have to take the time to pause and paint that vision for future generations so that they do know the trails that have been blazed and the roadblocks that have been removed to make their way easier so that they are…

I think it is so significant that, again, those two States joined in pushing forward H.R. 863. I want to commend Chairman Candice Miller and the Admin Committee for the hearing they have already held on the legislation and to take the…

I thank the gentlelady from New York. I want to yield to the gentlelady from Wyoming for some other comments on our conversation this evening.

The President filed his budget yesterday, and what a budget it is. It is going to increase spending by $791 billion--that is right, billion with a ``b.'' You would think we had all this money to spend. And when you look a little deeper…

resource allocation is important and something that I think, you know, Congress and everyone else should be looking at

The FTC is turning 100 in less than a year, and we are pleased to have all of you with us and to look at their role and to see how they are enforcing their core mission.

Medicare Part D is very popular with seniors, and the majority of beneficiaries not only participate in Part D, they express satisfaction with the program.

So why would you and the President support a regulation which is going to disrupt 94 percent of seniors in Medicare Part D who have a plan that they like, and would really like to keep it but you are not going to let them do that?

Never has the need for legislation been greater.

I appreciate that, but talking to my Tennessee farmers about the produce safety rule, they are very concerned with the lack of flexibility.
