GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOV- ERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019 THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2018 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 10:05 a.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. James Lankford (Chairman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Lankford, Daines, Coons, Leahy, Manchin, and Van Hollen. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION STATEMENT OF HON. AJIT PAI, CHAIRMAN OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JAMES LANKFORD Senator LANKFORD. Good morning, everyone. Glad you're here. Subcommittee will come to order. Before I proceed, I do want to be able to say this is the first of our hearings on this Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations. I do want to be able to greet my colleague, Senator Coons, and say publicly how pleased I am to be able to work with you. You have been the Ranking Member here before, and now a new Chair- man is stepping in during it. So, you'll have some mercy on us as we try to transition on this. Senator COONS. Absolutely. Senator LANKFORD. This hearing marks the first of our fiscal year 2019 budget hearings together for the agencies under the ju- risdiction of the Financial Services and General Government Sub- committee. I look forward to collaborating with our Ranking Mem- ber and the entire committee on the fiscal year 2019 bill, and to partner together for these hearings to conduct oversight for these agencies to ensure they're operating effectively and spending re- sources responsibly. Today, we have with us the Chairman for the Federal Commu- nications Commission, Ajit Pai, and the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Joseph Simons. Thank you both for being here today. This hearing is very timely, considering the recent debate in the Senate dealing with the open Internet, which we'll discuss, I'm sure, during this hearing time. (1)
