TO NOMINATE HER TO THE FCC
The following statement can be attributed to Commissioner Robert M. McDowell:

many years in both the private and public sectors and I know first hand of her strong 
commitment to public service.  Her experience, intellect, energy, regulatory philosophy and 
sense of humor will make her a first-rate commissioner.  Additionally, her knowledge of the
