FCC: Clyburn, Attwell Baker Likely to Join Next Week
The Senate next week will vote whether to confirm Mignon Clyburn and Meredith Attwell Baker to the FCC.
Clyburn, a Democrat who would replace Jonathan Adelstein, and Attwell Baker, a Republican who would fill Debi Tate’s seat, went through their nomination hearings on Wednesday before the Senate Commerce Committee. Each said they support competitive principles.
Observers termed the proceedings uneventful and said they expect both women to be confirmed without any trouble.
