STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. McDOWELL
ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S INTENT TO NOMINATE 
MIGNON L. CLYBURN TO THE FCC
The following statement can be attributed to Commissioner Robert M. McDowell:
“I congratulate Commissioner Clyburn on the announcement that President Obama 
intends to nominate her to serve as a Commissioner on the FCC.  Her experience on the Public 
Service Commission of South Carolina as well as her involvement in many professional and 
civic organizations gives her a strong background to tackle the many issues facing the 
Commission.  I look forward to working with my colleagues as we grow towards a full 
Commission and I wish Commissioner Clyburn well in the confirmation process.”
