Democrats Fire Back at GOP Spectrum Aggregation Letter

摘要

Top minority members of the House Commerce Committee objected, in a letter sent to FCC commissionersnThursday, to a recent Republican letter urging the FCC to reject the Justice Department's advice tonimplement spectrum aggregation rules or caps. Democrats said (http://1.usa.gov/16CnoJ1) the GOP letter isnanother example of Republicans seeking to "advance a one-sided re-interpretation of the goals and meaning"nof the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act in an "attempt to spin the legislative history in a waynthat inaccurately reflects the intent of Congress in adopting these provisions." Top Republican members ofnthe House Commerce Committee had previously told FCC commissioners that the Justice filing wasn't consistentnwith the Spectrum Act and could lead to a failed auction (CD April 23 p1).
