The Hopkins team is studying whether their technique for preimplantation diagnosis can be applied to other potentially fatal genetic disorders . Because of that success , researchers are now prepared to offer this form of diagnosis to those who request it . Any federal assessment on intrastate revenues is beyond the Commission 's authority . Because of the e-rate , more than half of the unconnected classrooms will now be linked to the Internet , the bulk of which are found in schools where over half of the students live in poverty . I know him as a man of integrity , who cares about his constituents , and cares about this country . Hopkins researchers transplanted old blood vessels into young rats and young blood vessels into old rats to determine whether aging itself reduces the ability to recover from surgical trauma . In addition , because severe brain damage is usually accompanied by serious retinal damage , patients with severe retinal disease should also be examined for the presence of brain damage . The FCC has been the subject of intense criticism recently by myself , other Members of Congress , and the public for what many believe are serious missteps in the implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 . We're here today because there is a third choice - - a better way . Such regulations shall include criteria by which States shall determine , in the case of any acquisition of telecommunications and related services for elementary schools , secondary schools , and libraries for educational purposes that includes the * installation of equipment within any such school or library , whether the installation is essential to permit such school or library to have access to advanced technologies . First , as I have stated previously , the size and scope of the current schools and libraries program is in excess of what was envisioned by Congress , and thus beyond the Commission 's authority to establish . Among other things , we must deal with the nay sayers who seem to believe that the full promise of universal service is beyond our grasp , and who are simply opposed to the fundamental principles of universal service . And , as you know , and I know , because I run a small organization , called the National School Boards Association , our Internet , our computer capabilities , only get enhanced every year , and therefore our costs do n't decline each year . Over 200 years ago , Benjamin Franklin who incidentally helped found a great university , the University of Pennsylvania , and a great library , the Philadelphia Free Library once remarked that " If a man empties his purse into his head , no one can take it away from him . They should also know whether they're simultaneously receiving ( or paying ) a hitherto implicit subsidy to the tune of $ 2 or $ 200 . Students and teachers are conducting research and gathering data from sources beyond their school and community , and scientists and other experts are participating in classroom projects from remote locations .
