Certainly my state as well. This also represents a milestone as members of this Committee Work to complete a multiyear highway bill the first time in a decade. And long overdue. With Service Transportation programs set to expire on friday, it is imperative we work quickly to reach a bipartisan and by cbicamybicameral agreeme. A number of issues happened to be particularly important to my state. For example, upgrading the freight corridors and interstate system that moved goods through my state to Global Markets every day and providing Additional Resources for Public Private partnerships and border infrastructure. Delivering investment certainty so we can plan for and deliver the highquality infrastructure that our country and my constituents deserve. This bill is important. But im proud to say the leadership in texas havent waited on the federal government. In november 2014, 80 of texans approved a Ballot Initiative that provides 1. 7 billion to upgrade and maintain the Transportation
Controls should bear the liability, and publishers should reject their ads. Are stakeholders adopting reasonable best practices and controls, in your view . Today that information does not suggest they are doing that. One of the challenges is reluctance to share information among each other. It is isolated now. Again, are recognizing that there is no perfect security in the absence of taking reasonable steps to protect the infrastructure and consumers from harm they should be responsible. How Many Americans do you think know that this problem exists . This information has been kept very quiet. Its been suppressed over years. The executives of some trade organizations have denied it exists publically. We just saw an example of that disputing the malvertising facts. Where did you get them since they dont share your view . We are fortunate. There are many players in the industry that see this as a major issue. This week we had a Dozen Companies come asking for legislation in the ecosystem

When you look at the boldness of someone like senator jackson who confronted the soviet union and directly linked most favored nation status to improvements in human rights and free immigration, that was a tool which drove the soviets absolutely crazy, and if you read the memoirs of any of these guys, you see when carter and reagan would bring up the names of dissidents, they really, really hated it, and i think thats one sign that its the right approach. I think that human rights is actually a real achilles heel of the Iranian Regime because they are dependent upon external actors
Little skeptical wondering whether or not the tone of the country back in 65 to 70 was different than five years from today. Can you reassure me that the data or can you sort of elaborate on what you think the tone will be in five years or what makes you believe that the data will win out . Well, the good news is in five years i will be retired. No, look, i cant tell you what its going to be like in five years in our country. What i can say is dont forget in 1965 why we had to pass Voting Rights and all that stuff. Remember the part of the country that opposed all this stuff. Thats precisely the part of the country that delayed implementation of medicaid. Let me tell you about my high school. I grew up in rural arkansas. Brown vs. Board of education was 1954. We finally got total integration in 197071, my senior year. How long is that . So that part of the country totally opposed all of that stuff. And yet in five years, every Southern State had had created a medicaid program. The stat
