ms. brown from your regular. >> thank you, chairman ranking member latta and members of the subcommittee. i'm here to provide you with our views on a future of wireless. thank you for the invitation to testify. cisco systems is a $49 billion global provider of ip-based networkingg equipment, , solutis and services located in san jose california. our customer base spans enterprise customers, governments and service providers. in wireless cisco offersom wi-fi and private 5g solutions. spectrum is vital to all our customers. thanks to the leadership from congress, united states finds itself in thelf enviable positin of being a technology leader in both unlicensed and licensed technology. not only does this mean that u.s. consumers getet the best ad get it first but companies the mexican foreign see the u.s. as a place where advanced technologies are developed and deployed. wi-fi is a prime example of a a technology that has benefited from congressional and fcc leadership and here are three reasons

ms. brown: ok. madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include any extraneous material on the subject of this special order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. brown: thank you so much. i want to thank the gentlewoman from texas, congresswoman jackson lee, and also the gentleman from new york, congressman ritchie torres, for hosting this special order hour. and i'd like to thank my sister, chair beatty, and all my congressional black caucus colleagues for their continued work to shine a spotlight on racial health disparities. madam speaker, dr. martin luther king once said, of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane. madam speaker, what was true in dr. king's time continues to be true in our own. communities of color have long experienced inadequate access to health care, housing, healthy food and economic opportunity. these inequalities,ment inly and working

and then ms. brown. ms. matsui and i have been working on spectrum authority beyond the 3 gigahertz band and we're doing our due diligence to determine what may be right for auction, and so my question, what are the berths for congress preserving its authority to direct the fcc to conduct certain auctions? >> the congress has played a leadership role for 30 years in identifying spectrum bands and providing direction to the fcc about what should happen next and that's an invaluable policy direction that really helps drive concensus across the fc c & n tia and other agencies. i can't stress enough how important it is for you all to help the spectrum community direct the fcc on this important auction program. we have not had, for a long time, auction authority without some direction in terms of what spectrum should be up next, and i encourage you to do that again this year. >> okay, thank you. thank you. appreciate that, mr. bergman, i agree with you about the importance of making spectrum available for exclusi

ms. brown you discuss your testimony how we manage the impact of new spectrum users on incumbent systems. could you expound on that and how that would shape the end-user experience? >> thank you for the question. i think the way in which we have equipped their agencies to resolve new and adjacency is not lending itself to a successful resolution to this issue at this point. my observation around these issues that goes to see band and also transportation spectrum and elsewhere is that the decisions are often challenged by user communities who do not perceive there's a voice in the decision-making process that addresses their concerns. to be clear the user communities know a lot about their systems. they don't know a lot about spectrum sharing. we have seen them strike a confrontational pose albeit a collaborative one so any to think about new ways to push new dynamics into the process that helps build consensus. in my testimony suggested a couple of ways to explore. one is to put the ntia boulde

ms. ketanji brown jackson. is definitely credible and the other gentlemen called, he is out of his mind talking about she did not answer the questions. how can ted cruz and senator graham act like children and rave about her occasions and she did not answer their questions? ted cruz left the state of texas and went to cancun while people were freezing to death. he doesn't have a right to answer anything. wrong holly -- hawley put the insurrection on the capital. but they're going to sit here and they are more credible than the judges on the court. i support her 100% and i hope she is confirmed and that these right-wing people who keep talking about it is because she is black -- you can see the color offers again she is black. that will not change. she still has qualifications over other churches -- over other judges. i applaud her for her way of handling yourself and not getting angry. as a black woman, i would have smacked hawley, ted cruz, and lindsey graham. it is about the president of the united states. ho

and black and brown kids are seen as runaways. so ms.ilson, why, in your view, are black women and girls treated so differently by law enforcement? and how does this disparate treatment affect black communities? first, why are they treated differently? then how does that kind of disparate treatment of that black communities and the disproportion nate rates of missing black and brown girls? >> we notice and hear this from families all the time that black and brown girls are not seen as victims and oftentimes they are -- so the perception is whatever happens to them, they deserve it, and because they come from a poor or impoverished, marginalized community, that sort of deviant behavior is acceptable and that's what happens there. at the black missing foundation, we're trying to change that narrative that these are mothers and daughters and sisters, and grandparents that are missing at an alarming rate. and again, classifying a missing person or a child as a run away, you know, no one seems to care because they're getting what they deserve

ms. wilson. black and brown women are often viewed as somehow responsible for their situations while white women are viewed as vulnerable victims. for example, disappearances of black and brown adults are frequently associated with criminal activity and black and brown kids are seen as runaways. so, ms. wilson, why, in your view r black women and girls treated so differently by law enforcement? and how does this disparate treatment affect black communities? first, why are they treated differently? then, how does that kind of disparate treatment affect black communities and the disproportionate rates we see of missing black and brown girls? >> well, thank you for that question. we notice, and we hear this from families all the time, that black and brown girls are not seen as victims and oftentimes they are adultified. so the perception is that whatever happens to them, they deserve it. and because they come from a poor or impofr risched, marginalized community, that sort of deviant behavior, it's acceptable, and that's what happens there. and at the black and missing foundation, we are trying to

ms. martin calling from cleveland. welcome. >> good morning, chairman brown and members of the committee. my name is sally martin, 14 years i served as the housing director for the city of south euclid ohio a suburb on the east side of cleveland. currently, i'm the director of building and housing for the city of cleveland. one of the after effects of the decline in the housing market has been the dramatic rise of single family homes. the bargain basement prices of the past decade and a half lead to an unprecedented rise in investors flooding the housing market. even now with rebounding home sale prices, we have not seen that trend diminish. last month i assisted an elderly resident with a housing choice voucher who was being evicted from her home of 19 years. the rebound in housing prices enticed landlords to sell their occupied homes to out of state investors. i have seen recently the tenant was on a month to month lease and the new landlord chose not to renew and provided a 30-day notice to vacate. the woman was unable to secure other housing for herself, her sister with dementia, her

ms. pinkerton, please begin. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, chair brown and members of the committee today. i appreciate the opportunity to testify here on the enormous opportunities that we see in central ohio under this bipartisan infrastructure law, as previously missioned. the legislation represents a long overdue commitment to repairing our transportation networks and i believe repurposing them for a future economy in ways that we may not realize yet. it addresses many of the ill effects that we're seeing, everything from congestion to pollution, and even intentionnally dividing communities in our historical past and our transportation networks have not kept pace with the rapidly evolving changes in how we live, how we work, how we do business. and they do not yet account for changes in life style, in american life style comments made about declining ridership. existing advancements and technology on the horizon which will have a direct impact and can move goods and people in a different way. with the new infrastructure funding, we can actually begin to shift our old ways of thinking t
