Innocence of death and the imperative of replacing hate for something better. The middle east today, my friends, is still marred by the sounds and spectacle of violence, but it need not be. Because the region is also pulsating with life. It is the home of populations that are energetic, youthful, forwardlooking, and far more interested in plugging into the World Economy than slugging it out with historic foes. It is in them than we place our faith. It is for them, and for their horizons that we dedicate a collective efforts. And it is with them, that the United States of america is determined to turn back the destroyers and build a future that is characterized by prosperity, like peace and by dignity for all people. That is a worthy fight. Thank you all very, very much. [ applause ] coming up this afternoon at 3 30 p. M. Eastern time, a confirmation hearing for nominees to a number of Foreign Policy positions, including a new u. S. Ambassador to libya. Also before the Senate Foreign Re
We need them most. Second, universal access. No matter who you are or where you live in this country, for a fair shot at 21st century prosperity, you need accesccess firstrate modern communications. That means we need policies that foster deployment and adoption in urban areas, rural areas and in between. Third, competition. Competition increases innovation and lowers prices. Fourth, Consumer Protection. Communication services are multiplying, but the marketplace is also bewildering to navigate. So we should always be on guard for ways to help consumers make good choices. These values derive from the law and they have informed my work at the commission to date.

I also believe our spectrum policies for licensed and unlicensed air waves have made our wireless markets competitive, inn
Backdrop of significant civil rights advancement in the United States including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights act of 1965, ten years on the heels of brown versus board of education. So, what is the lesson we can draw . One is that the Immigration Law for the future in our current push for comprehensive Immigration Reform should also take that frame of a civil rights legislation which is the civil rights project of our time and will continue to be as long as we do not as long as we avoid addressing this problem of illicit mess and reality. Just a word or two to build on that. He has nicely framed this question of again. But, and i think it really is the key, but in terms of if its fair to call Immigration Law a civil rights issue, ii would argue absolutely, in light of the types of mechanisms that have been deployed by the state against foreignborn persons and there are clear parallels between the experience of africanamericans, latinos, and other disadvantaged grou
Implicated him in the murder and burglary of ms. Mckenna. Witness information has also led the police to recover five firearms stolen during the incident. Including the ak47. Investigators have confirmed that ms. Mckenna was the owner of four of the five weapons on the other night, including the a f15 and the ak47. This case is ongoing and the work is not over and will not be until every person responsible is held accountable for their actions. I cannot say it enough. The great work the Marshfield Police and the Massachusetts State Police have done in this , but for their efforts, we would not have and we would not be where we are right now. But this case is not over and we are continuing to work and will continue to work until we get everybody that is responsible. Right now i will have the chief say a few words. We set it and we meant it. We told them we were coming for them and we did. Now, the attorney was arrested for murder, burglary, illegal possession of firearms, and he is bein
