Chairman Waxman's Statement on Senate Passage of DTV Legislation
Chairman Henry A. Waxman released the following statement on the passage of legislation in the Senate to delay the nation's digital TV transition from February 17 to June 12.
"I am pleased that the Senate has acted to delay the deadline, which is our only hope of mitigating the negative impact on millions of consumers. In light of the Senate action, I will work with the House Democratic Leadership to bring up the Senate bill for consideration Tuesday."
The Energy & Commerce Committee has cancelled its markup of the legislation, which is now expected to be brought to the House floor on Tuesday.
