Ever the patriot , Issa propose that the American - made CDMA standard be dramatize instead :
It is exorbitant that these agencies are design to spend taxpayer buck on a militant foreign applied science , when we have a superscript U.S. technology ( CDMA ) available to us . This news is specially offensive pass the Gallic opposition to U.S. diplomatical and military initiatives have-to doe with to Iraq .
Of course it does n’t pain that this would benefit CDMA creator Qualcomm , which has its headquarters in Issa ’s dominion and kicked him some cash for his last election campaign .
