For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI
WASHINGTON, DC, February 12, 2016.— Commissioner Ajit Pai made the following 
statement in response to the introduction of the Kari’s Law Act of 2016 by Senators Deb Fischer, Amy 
Klobuchar, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Brian Schatz:
“Anyone who dials 911 expects and deserves to reach someone who can help in a time of need.  
Kari’s father, Hank Hunt, has worked tirelessly to ensure that every call to 911 directly connects callers to 
emergency personnel.  The legislation introduced by Senators Deb Fischer, Amy Klobuchar, John 
Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Brian Schatz would take us one step closer to accomplishing Hank’s mission.  I 
applaud the efforts of Hank, this bipartisan group of Senators, and the countless others who are leading on 
this issue.  And I hope this bill, like Congressman Louie Gohmert’s companion legislation in the House of 
Representatives, receives prompt and favorable treatment.”
