    IAVA Recipient: Secretary Mattis Letter: Greetings, First, thank you for your service and sacrifice and for your incredible leadership that so many in the military and veteran community have experienced and respect. As you know, more than 1.5 million veterans have have educated themselves with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and almost 70% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members have used or transferred this benefit to a dependent. It could very well be the most transformative federal benefit created. The new restriction on Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability to only those with less than 16 years of service is a completely unnecessary reduction of this critical benefit, and it will ultimately hurt our military recruitment and readiness. In a time of war, it remains enormously important to recruit and retain qualified servicemembers, especially with an ever-decreasing pool of eligible recruits. For years, IAVA has been at the forefront of this fight. We led the effort to establish this benefit in 2008 and we have successfully defended it in recent years. We cannot allow our GI Bill to be dismantled or abused. This is why I am standing with my fellow IAVA members to respectfully request that you reverse this counterproductive policy change that creates barriers to access to these transformative benefits. The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world and it should not be subjected to arbitrary restrictions that limit its use. Again, thank you for your leadership and I ask that you take action now to reverse this decision.

  • The Truth Behind H.R. 3835 – a Bill to Extend the Current Pay Freeze for Federal Employees and Members of Congress
    The Truth Behind H.R. 3835 – A bill to Extend the Current Pay Freeze for Federal Employees and Members of Congress Dear Colleague: The Republican Majority has scheduled H.R. 3835 for consideration on the House floor on Wednesday. This bill would extend by one additional year the pay freeze that currently applies to all executive branch employees. This bill would also freeze the pay of Members of Congress and all legislative branch employees through December 2013. H.R. 3835 was introduced this past Friday, January 27, during a pro forma session and has not been marked-up in Committee. It is now scheduled to be considered under the suspension of the rules, which prevents Members of Congress from offering amendments. By inappropriately grouping Members of Congress who earn $174,000 per year with the men and women of our federal civil service, H.R. 3835 represents yet another effort to politicize federal employees’ pay and benefits and continues Republicans’ efforts to cut their wages and reduce their retirement benefits. The merits of pay increases for federal employees should be debated separately from our consideration of pay for Members of Congress. While we are not opposed to a freeze on Members' pay for fiscal year 2013, we will not support a pay freeze for federal employees for a third consecutive year. Our federal workers have already made significant sacrifices to help reduce our government’s budget deficit. They are now enduring a two-year pay freeze that will save $5 billion by the end of 2012, and more than $60 billion over the next decade.

  • December 27, 2018 the Honorable John Sarbanes U.S. House Of
    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON December 27, 2018 OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN The Honorable John Sarbanes U.S. House of Representatives 2444 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Sarbanes: Thank you for your letter regarding Commission efforts to modernize our wireless infrastructure regulations. Our wireless infrastructure rules have been a poor fit for the 5G networks of the future, and our efforts to unleash spectrum for consumer use will be meaningless without the physical infrastructure needed to bring next-generation services to American consumers. That’s because 5G networks will not depend on a few large towers but on numerous small cell deployments—deployments that are only beginning. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 mandates that we act to ensure a pro-competitive, de regulatory national policy framework to accelerate this process. That’s why we acted earlier this year to modernize our regulations and streamline the federal regulatory review process for 5G infrastructure. As you note, many states and localities have similarly taken positive steps to reform their own laws so that their citizens can benefit from 5G. And I applaud municipalities that have prioritized mobile broadband by updating their rules for 5G infrastructure. But in too many places, a patchwork of local rules and regulations continues to impede this essential build-out. For that reason, we took measured steps in September to address such rules and regulations—barriers that are inconsistent with federal law. Exorbitant big-city fees can operate as taxes on 5G that slow down deployment there and jeopardize the construction of 5G networks elsewhere.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.
