STATEMENT OF ACTING CHAIRMAN MICHAEL J. COPPS ON THE 
ANNOUNCEMENT BY PRESIDENT OBAMA OF HIS INTENT TO NOMINATE 
MIGNON CLYBURN AS FCC COMMISSIONER
I congratulate Mignon Clyburn on the welcome news that President Obama intends to 
nominate her as FCC Commissioner.  She is an excellent choice, and the experience she brings 
from her service on South Carolina’s Public Service Commission will be an invaluable asset as 
we address the many challenges and opportunities that are before us.  I wish her a successful 
Senate confirmation and look forward to working with her over the coming months and years in 
serving consumers and the public interest.
