Minister, and to rose hudson wilkins, our wonderful chaplain, for accompanying me to the vigil for jo last friday. At the priestly statute in the center of that lovely town. We, all of us, were moved by the energy and warmth of the crowd brought together in grief and solidarity. Ive been very moved when the public outpourings since her death. The hundreds of letters and emails weve all received in solidarity with joes family in their hour of grief. And by the outpouring of charitable donations to causes close to her heart, hope not hate, and the royal voluntary services. Last night my honorable friend the member for south and myself held a vigil outside our townhall. One of hundreds of vigils attended by tens of thousands of people the right across our land who are so shocked i what happened, and what to express that shock and grief. Also what you think of the parties in this house who offered their sympathy and support at this very difficult time. We united in grief at her loss, and w
Telephone companies. We have had in place for businessgrade Broadband Services. Title two is neither new nor outdated. It is a long standing tradition and part of the law and we are glad the fcc returned to that understanding. Turning to the majority opinion, what parts of that opinion would be used by, you know, the industry to further its arguments . What kind of holes can it try to poke in the argument . When it goes to appeal. I dont know it is going up further. What we usually see on appeals is the full circuit or Supreme Court is a split. The Supreme Court could make the choice but maybe not with only eight justices. If there is a question of law in play, i am sure companies will be attempting to seek further review but we dont see them likely to get it and likely unable to win we see. You view the circuit split being a large barrier to get a review . It is not a guarantee but they dont have that to look to to suggest the Supreme Court must decide some kind of split between two a
Program can legally buy guns. There are 20 million travelers in that program annually. More than 100,000 of them dont go home when they should. Now now i would like to share just one example where a known or suspected terrace was on the fbis radar that had not beenent placed on the nofly list. He over the weekend my staff went through 86 cases and pulled out some of them. I i have them here and i would like at this time just to mention one. Nonoaud, a u. S. Citizen was radicalized and became a devoted follower of isil. The fbi received a critical tip about him in april 2015. The tip included a detailed account of his radicalization in support of isil. This is all available in a 13 page criminal complaint. In maine he flew from new york city to jordan, he was a detained and later arrested by the fbi. Now here is someone who clearly met the definition of a known, or suspected terrorists. He was permitted was permitted to fly out of a major u. S. Airport in the city where the 9 11 attacks
No. And we looked at that thank you. Now i have another question. This question is directed to ms. Bristol and mr. Rinaldi. Its related to staffing. But its more about 9 equipment and the ongoing efforts by the faa to modernize the control towers. Last week there was an article in the a. P. It ran across the country and including in my district in las vegas. And the article was entitled union new airport towers must be remodeled before opening. In the article, mr. Rinaldi, you specifically identified the new control tower in las vegas saying it requires an overhaul before it can be operational. I reached out to our local controllers, our safety engineers and the faa because im concerned this overdue project is going to have to be delayed even further due to a failure by the faa. And im also worried that people around the country are going to read there might be a problem flying into las vegas and might not want to come there and we certainly cant have that. So what i learned is our con
