This Thursday, August 16, the Senate's Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee will query FCC Commissioners about their oversight of issues related to wireless communications. To give senators questions to pose to FCC Commissioners, copy and paste the following letter and questions into an email, and BCC it to the list (of staffers whose senators serve on the Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee). Then, help make the senate office phones ring all day about questions to ask at this hearing. Their phone #s are also posted below.

Subject: Senate Hearing on FCC Oversight

BCC: to email addresses for the Senate's Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee Staff found here: http://www.electronicsilentspring.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/US-Senate-CST-Committee-Staff-emails-8-11-18.doc

Please also BCC Ellie Marks at CABrainTumor [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thank you for presenting the following questions to FCC Commissioners:
