STATEMENT ON SPECTRUM MEETING BETWEEN
NTIA ADMINISTRATOR STRICKLING AND FCC CHAIRMAN GENACHOWSKI
Washington, D.C. – Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski and 
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information and NTIA Administrator 
Lawrence E. Strickling met on Friday, June 11, 2010 to discuss their agencies’ complementary 
roles with respect to commercial and Federal spectrum. Federal law directs the agency heads to 
meet biannually to conduct joint spectrum planning.
Chairman Genachowski said, “I am very pleased with our discussion on spectrum transparency 
and other critical issues and look forward to our continued collaboration with NTIA. Working 
together we will find the means to maximize spectrum use, which in turn will create jobs, 
unleash investment, and promote economic growth.”
Assistant Secretary Strickling said, “Expanding access to broadband Internet is a key element of 
President Obama’s strategy to create durable, sustainable economic growth. To do this, we must 
make the most efficient use of spectrum while protecting critical federal operations. The FCC is 
our partner in addressing this challenge, and we had a productive meeting. I am very optimistic 
about the progress NTIA and the FCC can make through our work together.”
