In 2001, there was only one television station and it was owned by the government. Today there are 75 stations. And only two and all of those but two are privately owned. And in 2001, there were virtually no cell phones in the country. Today, there are 18 million covering about 90 of residential areas. 80 of afghan women.

Thanks to entrepreneurs like roya, afghan women will now also be connected to the internet too. Ten years ago, it just would have been unfathomable to imagine this. But because so many individual acts of courage this is the future we are now watching afghan women build. Secretary clinton, laura bush, ambassadors rivera and russel

Misunderstand. Lets do this together, lets explore these areas, lets give people information going forward. And lets make the system work better, not create a parallel system that will make it work worse. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from michigan. Mr. Upton mr. Speaker, at this point id like to yield one minute to the gentleman from florida, mr. Bilirakis, a member of the health subcommittee.
