I want to commend him on this amendment. His amendment recognizes the value of the Weatherization Assistance Program and proposes to increase the authorization levels to a higher point toward the levels that usefully can be spent in weatherizing homes. To the extent that the measure sends to the Appropriations Committee a signal that there should be an increase in appropriations for this program, I think it's highly valuable. I urge its adoption.

I believed then and believe today that where the incumbent providers are not offering an adequate service... it ought to be free to do so.
As the Honorable Rick Boucher said, the notion that Title II is going to put regulations on a sure footing is simply wrong.
I believed then as I believe today that assuring an open Internet is essential to maintaining the Web as a vibrant medium for free expression, for commerce, for education, for healthcare delivery.
I very much hope that a conversation will ensue and that you will adopt legislation that does a service for the country and keeps the Internet open and maintains the light touch regulatory treatment that it enjoys today.
