Benefit of a clean energy economy. It is time to wake up. I yield the floor to my friend, the distinguished senator from louisiana. The presiding officer the senator from louisiana. Ms. Landrieu thank you, senator. Im so happy to follow him on the floor today and some to see him again. Weve worked together on so many important issues, mr. President , wonderful to see you and to be back on the floor. I come today for a very special reason. I am so proud to present to the senate a package of lands bills that have been included in the Defense Authorization act. And whats significant about this particular package is its quite large and its the first package in almost six years, in almost three congresses which is quite an accomplishment for our committee. And i am so proud of the staff of our committee, energy and Natural Resources. I made this a priority when i took over as chair nine months ago. It was a long shot to see if we could put any package at all together. It had eluded us for s
App . Im not banging them, but we need to get people focused on the data going out there. This is twofold. What was brought up, does the fcc have the capacity to manage the prioritization and distribution of the spectrum or are they thinking about the issue . To what degree the governance play with the Global Nature of iot . I will take a step. Its usable and on time. Some shouldnt exist at all. Everybody is here and i think thats technically true although they have enforcement and improper use and so forth. There these passes set aside for shared use and technology knows how to hop around and it detects interference and finding unused portions and any systems that have a certain resilience. I dont think that is necessarily going to be a big thing in terms of solving the problems, but others may have other perspectives on that.

And we were getting out materials to i rode with my friends, herman cain and kenneth davidson, one of the published cases on sex discrimination and the law. But we came to see by the way, i should say who the we were. A brilliant lawyer, marvin kilpack, he was one of the general counsel. He spotted in law week what he said is going to be the turning point gender discrimination case. The year is 1970 and the Supreme Court has never seen a gender classification that it thought was unconstitutional. This case was decided by the Supreme Court of idaho. It was about a woman named sally reid who was divorced when her son was what the law calls of tender years so sally got custody.
