		Competition remains Rep. Markey's economic mantra–in his words, "ruthless Darwinian competition that would bring a smile to Adam Smith."

		In the 108th Congress, Rep. Markey remained very active on telecommunications issues, working to protect children on-line, to penalize unsolicited "spam" emails, to establish a Do-Not-Call list for telephone users, and to prevent the listing of cell phone numbers without the subscribers consent.

	News from Ed Markey
		This refusal on the part of the NRC to release documents that were not security-sensitive in part motivated Rep. Markey’s March 21, 2005 request to the NRC Inspector General to determine whether the Commission was inappropriately using secrecy designations to avoid public scrutiny of its activities (see http://www.house.gov/markey/Issues/iss_nuclear_ltr050321.pdf).
		On November 22, 2004, the Commission provided a response to Rep. Markey’s letter, but refused to allow Rep. Markey to release most of the information provided even though it was not classified for national security reasons.
		The NRC approved a new policy on March 29, 2004 that would withhold all security-related information from the public and would close security-related meetings of the Commission to all but the nuclear industry even when the information in question was unclassified.
