The FCC is an independent agency commission created by Congress and accountable to Congress. Correct?

When you complete your analysis and you need a legislative fix for this, please come to us as quickly as possible.

We will be supportive of that effort.

I think there needs to be such a standard.

The IRS currently interprets the law as saying that if they find out that you have been the victim of identity fraud, they do not even have to tell you as a citizen that you are the victim of that fraud.

The purpose of this hearing is to lay out that reality, to fully explore the benefits, and to look at potential vulnerabilities.

We have to review this program for potential vulnerabilities.

This hearing will come to order. I want to welcome all the witnesses here.

We cannot be disengaged or lead from behind because then we just open up Europe to the ancient horrors.

The people of Ukraine have shed their own blood in order to get their freedom.

President Obama said we are the indispensable Nation.

Providing weapons in the context of sanctions and economic assistance to Ukraine is a way to challenge or to change that calculation in Moscow.

The irony of his invasion of Ukraine has more to consolidate and strengthen that sense of identity and purpose than any single thing.

The Ukrainian people now have a say in the future of what is going to happen.

Thank you, and I want to thank all of my colleagues for attending.

I was heartened, I was encouraged by my colleagues here in the Senate and the House unanimously passing the Ukraine Freedom Support Act.

One cannot win a war with blankets.

There are 14 to 20,000 Russian troops...between 12 and 20,000 Russian troops are in Ukraine

A Ukraine that looks westward is the greatest possible threat to the security of Putin's regime because it will infect Russia with the democratic virus.

Russia's invasion and occupation of Ukraine represent the greatest threat to European security in a generation.

Unless we understand the reality, unless we are willing to face the reality, unless we are willing to grapple with the reality, Vladimir Putin will continue his aggression.

Well, again, I want to thank all of the witnesses for your time, your thoughtful testimony, as Dr. Blank said, for telling the truth, and for just fighting for freedom.

It is an axiom of Russian foreign policy that none of the post-Soviet states... really possess genuine sovereignty and territorial integrity.

I do not want anybody to miss the testimony.

I think probably the most powerful part of that timeline are the 29 assassinations of political figures, 29 assassinations and murders that have never been adequately solved.
