ACTING CHAIRMAN COPPS CONGRATULATES MEREDITH ATTWELL BAKER 
AND MIGNON L. CLYBURN ON THEIR NOMINATIONS TO THE COMMISSION
I am so pleased that with today's nominations we can begin to look forward to a fully-constituted 
FCC.  With all the communications challenges confronting the Commission, I am looking 
forward to having the benefit of all the talents that five members can bring to our work.  These 
nominees will get us there.
I had the opportunity to work with Meredith Baker while she led NTIA and I quickly came to 
appreciate her intelligence, dedication and collegiality.  If confirmed, she will bring a wealth of 
experience and credibility with her.  She is an excellent choice for the job.
Now that Mignon Clyburn's nomination is official, I will say again what a superb selection she 
is.  Her years on the South Carolina Public Service Commission, coupled with experience in the 
world of media, will be tremendously helpful to her—and to her colleagues—at the FCC. She 
will be a great asset to the FCC and a pleasure to work with.
I wish both Meredith and Mignon well as they navigate the confirmation process.
