BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, named in memory of a hardworking and honorable man, the RAY BAUM'S Act reauthorizes the Federal Communications Commission for the first time in 28 years.

This bill is the result of a wholly bipartisan process that includes important provisions that will benefit all our constituents.

This includes further prohibitions on spoofing calls, reports on promoting internet access for low-income veterans, and improving 911 caller information.

The bill also provides additional funding for the repack process and fosters technology growth by authorizing studies on spectrum available for future auctions.

I applaud the work of the subcommittee on getting this done. This bill will truly benefit innovation and our constituents, and I support its passage.
