For Immediate Release
STATEMENT ON WAIVER REQUEST TO AID JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTERS
WASHINGTON, March 1, 2017 – The following statement can be attributed to Neil Grace, FCC 
spokesman, in response to Sen. Charles E. Schumer’s waiver request to the Commission to help 
Jewish Community Centers in the U.S:
“Chairman Pai is very concerned about the bomb threats being made to Jewish Community 
Centers across our country.  These threats have instilled fear and disrupted lives throughout the 
United States, and Chairman Pai condemns such anti-Semitic acts in the strongest possible terms.  
The FCC is actively exploring what steps the FCC can take quickly to help Jewish Community 
Centers and law enforcement combat these threats.”
