particularly my good frend joe serrano, rodney alexander, i'm interested in your input and hope we have good attendance at all other hearings. we'll follow the five might rule for questions, except for ranking member cerrano who can take as much times as he likes, i imagine will be getting into more discussion of the cardinals and yankees, as the baseball season progresses but that is always coincides with the beginning of our hearings. for everyone else, keep questions and comments to about five minutes. and i want you all to know, particularly rodney, i won't cut anyone off in the middle of a sentence. recognize members in order of seniority based on who is present at the beginning of the hearing, going back and forth between the parties, and for late-comers, we'll recognize them in the order they arrive. while i'm sure we will not always agree on the issues coming before the committee, all members and witnesses will be heard and respected. i would like to welcome our witnesses for the first hearing of the year. chairman leibowitz and commissioner rush. the ftc is responsible for prot

thank you chairman emerson and ranking member serrano. it's terrific to be here today. this is my first appearance before your subcommittee owe thank you for having me. i'd like to focus on three matters currently before the commission. number one implementing the new spectrum incentive auction law the chairman outlined. number two, adopting universal service contribution reform. and number three, examining the complexities and burdens of proposed rules governing the maintenance of political advertising files by tv broadcaste broadcasters. lastly i'd like to address the specter of possible regulation of internet governance by an arm of the united nations. first spectrum reform to make more parts of our airwaves available to american consumers. as a result of the law, the fcc will create and conduct the most complicated spectrum auctions in history. meanwhile, a debate continues over whether or how the fcc should shape the outcome of this process. history has proven that regulators' attempts to over-engineer spectrum auctions often backfire. i hope all of us can apply th

now i'd like to recognize my friend and colleague joe serrano for his opening statement. >> thank you so much, madam chair. you should know that whenever we meet here the first thing we discuss quietly here is baseball. but today we're discussing the fact that both of our district plans for our future political districts are in the federal courts and we have no idea where we're running this year. >> actually, i think ours have been in the federal courts and state court. this is in the state supreme court back to the federal court. and i'm not sure that most judges undertake their judicial responsibilities thinking they are going to draw congressional lines at the same time. >> let the record reflect that arkansas is done. >> missouri was actually third done and then we had a lawsuit filed very late. >> we measured twice and cut once in arkansas. >> amazing. thank you, madam chair. i would like to join you -- i shouldn't have started that. i would like to join you in welcoming chairman genachowski and commissioner mcdowell. like many of the agencies we deal with, the fcc plays a vital
