COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS CONGRATULATES MIGNON L. CLYBURN 
AND MEREDITH ATTWELL BAKER ON THEIR SENATE CONFIRMATIONS
This is a great day for the FCC.  We have two bright and talented new Commissioners 
coming aboard and they bring the FCC to full strength.  Important issues have been teed up for 
their attention the minute they walk through the portals, foremost among them being our charge 
to present to Congress a national broadband plan by next February.  Many other issues affecting 
both media and telecom cry out for early action.  I’m excited at the prospect of working with 
both Mignon Clyburn and Meredith Baker because I know they each bring high intelligence, 
obvious dedication and valuable career experiences with them.  The Commission is whole again!
