In favor of a light touch framework that worked for decades prior to 2016. The declaratory ruling also reinstates the private mobile state ossification of mobile broad and Internet Access service and returns to the commissions definition of interconnected service that existed prior to 2015. The item restores the authority of the federal trade commission to enforce Consumer Protection and antitrust laws.

Move out to of our nominees that are currently pending before the committee. We obviously have to have the requisite number of members here. So until such time as we have a quorum, we will move to our scheduled full Committee Hearing on infrastructure permitting, if were able to get the quorum of 12 we will take up the businessman at that point in time. I would anticipate that it would be relatively quick. So with that, we have names on the table in front of us, but i would invite you each to come to the table as a provide an opening statement. Mr. Casing, ms. Fleagle, astroturfing, mr. Brown, ms. Caruso and mr. Russell if just want to join us there. We are here today to discuss infrastructure permitting challenges ongoing efforts to streamline federal approvals and opportunities to improve the responsiveness, the transparency and the predictability of our system of permit review.

We debated it. Took a path on taking a position on that with all the other controversy swirling were glad the heat was not on us. It is a difficult issue. I remember wrestling with that issue in the senate. There are credible arguments on both sides. Cspan television stations that is almost a quaint term anymore to call something a television station when local channels are online and theyre just as much online as they are on tv anymore. They are. Most of my television members, they do have internet sites and, yet no one is trying to restrict their access.

Imagine growing up the younger brother of two big strapping older brothers, jo kennedy, jr. , jack kennedy, both six footers, healthy, wellfed, confident, elegant, popular. He is this little guy. His father called him a runt. Ignoredtl him. He was sort of the irish kid that was not going to get the land. He was not going to inherit anything. I think what happened was, that helped him develop empathy. That was great thing he had. He could emphasize with people in trouble. Poor whites in appalachia, blacks in mississippi delta. Blacks, live living on mow lassies with extended stomachs like they were in africa. He was interested in people that had no votes for him, native americans on reservations. Even joe mccarthy, when he was killing himself with booze. He cared about him and. It had a lot to do with the fact that he was overlooked. Cspan what was the relations
