Thank you for the opportunity to address you at what is a critical moment for the future of internet. More than anything else, the action that you take today will preserve the permissionless invasion invasion. Let me explain. The web was invented 25 years ago. To people and let them run on computers which were connected to the internet. All that was necessary for those computers were plugged in to internet. They were then communicating. Didnt have to ask anybodys permission. Frome1 this, the worldwide web spread to reach all the corners of the global and connected world, enabling hundreds of billions of dollars of Economic Growth and enhanced free speech and democracy around the world. Didnt have to get permission from anybody to introduce a thing. I didnt have to pay isp and special fees. I didnt have to convince c should be let through. If it would be good for their business. I didnt have to worry they would block it because it was compete competing with the businesses they have. So,
About the u. S. Hostages took over the cablesphere, clinton took the headlines. Corrects this book is full of a lot wax this book is full of a lot of discredited pieces. This is not what the voters are looking for in this campaign. You are going to be able to tell us what is wrong with it New York Times story before you have even read the story. John the Clinton Campaign has since put more meat on the bones of their rebuttal. The question i have is whether the foundation storyline is dying down or blowing up . Mark at 6 00 a. M. It was blowing up. The New York Times did an unorthodox thing by putting an online instead of the paper. Some strong rebuttal points in the middle of the day which doesnt diffuse that they completely but if they can reply substantively, they can put the story away to a much greater degree. Mark it has always john it has always been your contention that they had to use substance to rebut. The nexus of money, the foundation, and the state department continues to

Data security, the way the virtual marketplace is used, and the way our constituents want to have a tool box to protect, as i call it, their virtual you online. So, we appreciate your time, your willingness to be with us this morning, and i yield back to the chair of the committee. Yield back. Gentleman from texas mr. Barton want to use some of that time . Thank you mr. Chairman. Ive served on this committee since 1986. Ive served with three of the four former chairman, mr. Wiley preceded me. Weve had some agreements, weve had some disagreements. So its good to have all four of you gentlemen here today. When i was chairman of the full committee, back in 1996, my commutety introduced a bill we call the coke bill, the communication opportunity promotion enhancement act of 2006.

And i think weve made that clear to the Russian Foreign minister and others. Nor are the other players short of an ability to be yet to have an impact here. So i think they can bolster, they can protest, they can put out distortions. At the bottom line is we are going to geneva to implement jimmy fell one. And if assad doesnt do that he will invite greater response in various ways for various people over a period of time. So im not particularly surprised that hes trying to divert this, hes been doing this for months to make himself the protector agains
