A Review of the Data Broker Industry: Collection, Use, and Sale of Consumer Data for Marketing Purposes

I wish to speak about an issue of great importance to the national security of the United States and to all of our allies--which is, preventing Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon. There is no doubt in my mind that we will in fact do…

A successful incentive auction will mean more robust wireless communications networks both for voice and data in rural and urban areas around the country.

There is no doubt that the FCC's incentive auction proceeding is one of the most important undertakings in the agency's history.

For this reason, we urge you to protect consumers, content creators, and wireless competition by supporting reasonable spectrum-aggregation limits on spectrum below 1 GHz.

A successful incentive auction will set a new model for international spectrum policy, just as we did 20 years ago with the first spectrum auctions.

Almost two years ago, I authored legislation with Kay Bailey Hutchison to give the FCC a new tool, voluntary incentive auctions, to make sure the Nation's limited spectrum resources are used smartly.

Creating an America that will work better for ourselves, and work well for our children, will not be easy.

With the AMP effort moving into its next phase and Congress giving serious consideration to the role of manufacturing in maintaining U.S. competitiveness, we have a real opportunity to strengthen our innovation ecosystem.

Innovation and manufacturing have long come together to form the backbone of the American economy.

But, unfortunately, success stories are becoming all too rare.

Today the Committee seeks a solution to our Nation's economic drift away from our commitment to manufacturing.

If we are going to continue to lead and compete in the global economy, we have to protect our lead in science and research.

help from the Federal Government would be enormously appreciated.

I am stunned by the prospect of, let us say, 100 million people being uninsured or underinsured
