Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Judiciary Ranking Member Lamar Smith (R-TX) released the following statement, following an announcement of a trial venture between Yahoo! and Google and news reports of a possible Yahoo!/AOL merger deal:

“In February, the House Judiciary Committee announced plans to hold a hearing on the State of Competition on the Internet.
