    Statement on Senate Action on Proposed Internet Tax Nondiscrimination
    Legislation
    April 29, 2004

        I commend the Senate for moving forward to expand access to
    broadband technology. The ``Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act'' is an
    important step toward permanently banning access taxes on broadband that
    will help make high-speed Internet services more affordable, increase
    the number of broadband users, and enhance our Nation's economic
    competitiveness.
