Media Contact: Erin McGrath, (202) 418-2300 Erin.McGrath@fcc.gov For Immediate Release STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY ON INTRODUCTION OF THE “GOVERNMENT SPECTRUM VALUATION ACT OF 2018” BY SENATORS LEE & MARKEY WASHINGTON, November 14, 2018. “I applaud Senators Lee and Markey for introducing the ‘Government Spectrum Valuation Act of 2018.’ As I have previously stated, requiring U.S. Government agencies to put a market price on their spectrum holdings will fix a budgetary anomaly and promote overall spectrum efficiency by incentivizing each agency to release unneeded spectrum. It’s an idea whose time has come and has generated diverse support, including from my colleague, Commissioner Rosenworcel.” -- ### Office of Commissioner Mike O’Rielly: (202) 418-2300 Twitter: @mikeofcc www.fcc.gov/leadership/michael-orielly This is an unofficial announcement of Commission action.
