On March 17, 2017 Senators Markey (D-MA) and Sullivan (R-AK) sent FCC Chairman Ajit Pai a letter asking him to continue to support the E-rate program. Senator Markey was one of the original authors of the E-rate program in 1996 when he was in the House of Representatives and Senator Sullivan is a Member of the Senate Commerce Committee that has jurisdiction over FCC oversight and believes the E-rate is vital for his schools and libraries in Alaska. The letter encouraged Pai “…to support this vital source of funding that benefits children across America….”
