FCC nominee McDowell gets nod from Senate Commerce Committe
[SOURCE: Reuters]
By a voice vote, the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday endorsed telecommunications lawyer Robert McDowell's nomination to fill a Republican seat on the five-member Federal Communications Commission. If confirmed by the full Senate, McDowell would give FCC Chairman Kevin Martin a working 3-2 Republican majority for the first time in about a year and enable him to launch a review that could lead to easing media ownership restrictions. McDowell would fill a seat that expires June 30, 2009.
