Communications in the subcommittee on communications and technology will now come to order. And the chair recognizes herself for five minutes for an Opening Statement. And i do want to welcome each and every one of you. Obviously a hearing of interest as we have a full room in front of us. And it is our first hearing in 2017 with a fully formed federal Communications Commission as often seems to be the case, the senate takes their dear ever loving time to get things done, but im pleased to see that the commission is back up to speed and ill tell you i am pleased that we have five members of this commission and they have different points of view to bring to the discussion on all things telecom related. I think that is healthy for the telecommunications and technology industry. Were here today to conduct oversight of the agency which is this subcommittees primary role. It is very important that we fulfill these obligations because we have given the fcc a Critical Mission and critical tas
And he once took us inside his own family in a very personal way. Hes authored 12 books. Im incompetent to properly introduce bill moyers theres simply not enough time. Before a studio audience a man known for his modesty and his reluctance to talk about himself, agreed to sit down with me for a conversation i shall never forget. Ladies and gentlemen, mr.
