 #bjai ,mr4 ,johnson submitted the      
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,commerce1        
,science1 and ,transportation           
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,senate that ,united ,states        
leadership in #e;,g wireless technology 
is a national priority4  ,whereas the   
,united ,states led the world in the    
development and deployment of           
fourth-generation 7commonly known as    
#d;,g7 wireless technology1 such as     
,long ,term ,evolution 7commonly known  
as ,,lte72 ,whereas ,united ,states     
leadership in #d;,g technology created a
 mobile broadband economy that generated
 hundreds of thousands of jobs1 billions
 of dollars of investment and economic  
growth1 and tremendous consumer         
benefits2 ,whereas the fifth generation 
of wireless connectivity1 known as      
#e;,g1 promises to be even more         

transformative1 with speeds #ajj times  
faster than #d;,g and even greater      
capacity to carry wireless traffic than 
#d;,g2 ,whereas the benefits of #e;,g   
technology to the people of the ,united 
,states will be substantial1 including  
better access to high-quality health    
care through telemedicine1 better and   
cheaper food production through         
precision agriculture1 more efficient   
manufacturing and transportation        
systems1 more advanced educational      
opportunities1 more avenues for         
entrepreneurship1 more sophisticated and
 secure military applications and       
devices1 and other benefits that cannot 
yet be conceived2 ,whereas the ,federal 
,communications ,commission has         
introduced a comprehensive strategy to  
promote ,united ,states leadership in   
#e;,g technology1 entitled ,facilitating
 ,america's ,superiority in #e;,g       
,technology 7or the #e;,g ,,fast ,plan72
 ,whereas a core component of the #e;,g 
,,fast ,plan for the development and    

deployment of #e;,g technology in the   
,united ,states is making substantially 
more spectrum available1 including      
low-band1 mid-band1 and high-band       
airwaves2 ,whereas the ,federal         
,communications ,commission is vested   
with authority to make spectrum         
available for the commercial            
marketplace2 and ,whereas the failure of
 the ,united ,states ,government to     
present a unified position on the       
appropriate policies for critical #e;,g 
spectrum bands1 including the #bd       
gigahertz band1 at the ,world           
,radiocommunication ,conference #bjai   
7commonly referred to as ,,wrc-#ai7 and 
to persuade allies to support that      
position could lead to a decision that  
would make those bands unusable for     
purposes of #e;,g technology            
development1 impeding ,united ,states   
leadership and empowering global rivals3
 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that the      
,senate-- 7#a7 deems it a national      
priority for the ,united ,states to lead

 the world in the development and       
deployment of fifth-generation 7commonly
 known as #e;,g7 wireless technology2   
7#b7 supports the efforts of the        
,federal ,communications ,commission to 
make spectrum available for the         
commercial marketplace2 and  7#c7       
strongly urges all entities1 including  
,federal agencies1 to work cooperatively
 with the ,federal ,communications      
,commission to advance the goal of      
,united ,states leadership in #e;,g     
technology1 including at the upcoming   
,world ,radiocommunication ,conference
