September is Suicide Prevention Month — a time to recognize a difficult reality facing our military community and, more importantly, to reaffirm a simple commitment: no service member, veteran, or military family member should ever feel that they have to face their darkest moments alone.
If the harm can last a lifetime, the protection should last a lifetime.

Today, the America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) Piero Tozzi, AFPI’s Senior Director of China Policy, submitted a public comment to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging the adoption of rules that would strengthen U.S. telecommunication security by phasing out recognition of telecom equipment test labs, Telecommunications Certification Bodies, and accreditation bodies located in, or operating out of, countries that lack a mutual recognition or comparable reciprocal trade agreement with the United States. Such entities operating outside the reach of enforceable U.S. jurisdiction mean that certifications cannot be reliably tested or corrected, weakening our telecommunications security.
I write in support of the proposals set out at paragraphs 68 through 75 of the Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-28, and respectfully urge the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt rules that would ultimately cease recognition, in phased stages, of test labs, Telecommunications Certification Bodies (TCBs), and laboratory accreditation bodies that are located in, or conduct their work in, countries that lack a mutual recognition agreement or comparable reciprocal trade agreement with the United States.
