the result would be to force data into a one-size-fits-all approach.

I remain skeptical of proposals that break up these companies, mandate a one-size-fits-all data standard, or create a government-run 'public option.'

I believe U.S. citizens would be best served if antitrust continues to retain its traditional focus on promoting consumer welfare and competition in markets.

You know, I think that antitrust law has to continue to be focused on consumer welfare rather than deviating into other problem areas.

Successful implementation of the mandate for competition in the antitrust laws encourages innovation, which is the main driver of economic growth.

I did not, and there is no system that I know of that provides artists with compensation when their work is used.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Wouldn't that be up to somebody on the other side of the issue to say that this is not proven?

So this goes to show that congressional pressure is not the best.

I have reached the conclusion that we do not need to change our antitrust laws. They have been working just fine.

Conservatives are consumers too. And the way the net was put together, in the eyes of Congress, is that everybody should be able to speak their mind.
