I think as we move forward we need to be very concerned about making sure that we are protecting individuals' privacy but also ensuring that we are not becoming too regulatory.

We should certainly look at California and learn from them, but it is, as I understand, a law that came together in 1 week and that was their choice about how they did it.

Part of what we are looking at with this like privacy legislation is basically looking at stopping Jim Crow online.

I introduced a data bill back in 2007, and we are still here today discussing data and data security and a data bill.

We need to be very concerned about making sure that we are protecting individuals' privacy.

I certainly agree that we need a national standard.

I am concerned about the patchwork of privacy and security laws that I see coming at the State level.

I do believe that there is bipartisan support to move forward so that we can ensure strong protection of personal data.

Transparency is critical.

Setting one national standard is common sense and it's the right approach to give people certainty.

There is a strong groundswell of support for a Federal privacy law that sets a national standard.

I look forward to working with you on bipartisan solutions that improve the lives of all Americans.

Setting one national standard makes common sense and is the right approach to give people certainty.

The internet knows no borders. It has revolutionized our Nation's economy by seamlessly connecting businesses and people across the country.

I am hopeful that we can find a bipartisan path to move forward on a single American approach to privacy.

As John Dingell would challenge us, let's work together for the American people.

The internet is the key to interstate commerce. It does not end at our borders and a Federal solution is the only way forward.

This is a solution that passed in my home State on a widely bipartisan basis, a bill that was signed by Democratic Governor, supported by Democrats in the congressional delegation, and was praised by former FCC Commissioner Clyburn.

I want to once and for all resolve what I believe is a manufactured political debate and provide certainty to the internet ecosystem so that we can make that opportunity a reality for every single American.

Do we want to regulate the internet as a 1930s style utility where we have more burdensome regulation?

This debate isn't about the merits of an open free internet. I support an open free internet.

I think we all agree that we want the latter. That is why I am introducing the Promoting Free Internet Freedom and Innovation Act.

We could double that hydropower without building a new dam in America simply by investing in hydroelectricity.

We want Bonneville to stay healthy and stable, but where this fish issue is going with respect to the BiOp and litigation, we are very, very concerned.

I think in my final question I would just like to reflect a little bit on the importance of that established plan.
