I am happy to state that I want to start these brief remarks with two points on which I find myself in complete agreement with Senator Hatch. First, during a speech on Monday, he joined with me in asking that the Vice President of the United States, Mr. Gore, state his position on whether or not this form of antitrust action is appropriate. I centered my own speech on the frequent visits the Vice President has made to the State of Washington and his refusal to take any such position. The Senator from Utah said: Government should not exert unwarranted control over the Internet, even if Vice President Gore thinks that he created it. I am delighted that the Senator from Utah has joined me in that sentiment.
