STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. McDOWELL ON
COMMISSIONER MEREDITH ATTWELL BAKER’S ANNOUNCEMENT
THAT SHE IS DEPARTING THE FCC
"I wish my friend and colleague, Meredith Attwell Baker, the best on starting a new chapter in 
her life as she announces that she will be leaving the Commission.  It is a rare honor to be able to 
serve in a position such as a commissioner of the FCC.  It is an unheard of honor, however, to be 
able to serve with someone whose friendship spans the better part of two decades.  I know 
Meredith will bring the same intellect, diligence and grace to her future endeavors that she 
brought to the FCC.  She will be missed here."
