Chairman Julius Genachowski and former fcc commissioner robert mcdowell. Thats followed by our discussion with congressman greg walden, chairman of the house subcommittee on communications and technology. Guest were in a landscape thats absolutely shifting, and there are areas of the statutory scheme where it would make sense to look at and say are those keeping up with the changes in the marketplace. Fundamentally, having this kind of competition, programming innovation, access by new players to consumers and access by the traditional players to viewers in new ways. Obviously, whats happening on tablets is amazing. Whats starting to happen in the living room is very exciting. Were in just an incredible time when it comes to the delivery of video programming to consumers. There are issues. We heard it at the commission, both of us did, from distributers who were concerned about the costs of programming. Consumers are concerned about the costs of programming, so thats an issue of i thin
On these matters . Number one, the doj and the importance of congress intellig and number two, how your views will guide your interactions with this committee, engagements with it and engagements with the doj. Completely agree that this committee plays a Critical Role in the oversight of the cia, particularly because so much of the work of the cia has to remain secret by its nature. This committee needs to provide the important checks and balances that would normally be provided, in addition, by the American Public in those circumstances. I think the doj plays a Critical Role in giving advice to the agency. For advice is authoritative the agency. I would consider it my duty to sake sure that the committee were informed of all intelligence activities. I would also make sure that the information provided to the department of justice and to the Legal Counsel was accurate and timely and uptodate.

Secondly, to ensure a copy of the review and programs is provided to the committee. It appears this review which was initiated by panetta is consistent with the report but amazingly it conflicts with the official cia response to the report.

Finally, i would like to see a Public Statement from the white house committing to the fullest possible declassification of the committees study as well as the cias response to the study. I understand
Also believe it is a goodfaith proposal that i think will serve the people of our state well for many years to come. We will seek the maximum allowable time under the law for that waiver. Let me say as i close, and then i will finish the formal program but i can catch up with some of you afterwards if you want. I served 12 years in the congress and i served the better part of a year and a half i have become more convinced every day that the cure for what ails our country is going to come more from the nations state capitals than it ever will from the nations capital. At the very core of this waiver request is my belief that many of the most intractable issues facing our country, including health care, can best be solved by giving the states the freedom and flexibility to design programs that can solve the challenges the people of their state are facing in those areas. So we will continue those discussions with federal officials. Im hopeful that we will be able to expand the healthy ind
