The subcommittee met at 10:30 a.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Tom Udall (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Udall, Johanns, and Moran. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION STATEMENT OF HON. MIGNON CLYBURN, ACTING CHAIRWOMAN ACCOMPANIED BY: HON. JESSICA ROSENWORCEL, COMMISSIONER HON. AJIT PAI, COMMISSIONER OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR TOM UDALL Senator UDALL. Good morning. I'm pleased to convene this hear- ing of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government. And I welcome my ranking member, Senator Mike Johanns, and other colleagues who may join us throughout this hearing today. I also want to welcome our witnesses, especially Mignon Clyburn, the acting chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Chairwoman Clyburn, thank you for your service. I look forward to your testimony today. Also with us are Commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Ajit Pai. Both are dedicated public servants who previously served on the Senate Commerce and Judiciary Committees, and I look for- ward to their testimony, as well. Today, we are meeting on the anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a day that is seared in our Nation's history as we are reminded that our Nation's communications net- works do more than just keep us in touch with friends and family or entertain us with TV and music or facilitate commerce. In emer- gency situations, our communications networks save lives. Just as we will never forget the 9/11 attacks, we will never forget the he- roic first responders who ran to the rescue. Lack of interoperable communications led to the further loss of life. Fixing this remains a key unfinished recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. (1)
