Sen Grassley hints FCC holds could be lifted

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) suggested he could soon lift holds on two nominees to the Federal Communications Commission. Sen Grassley wants the FCC to provide documents related to its review of LightSquared’s proposal to build a 4G wireless network. The FCC dumped 13,000 documents earlier this week to Grassley, and the senator said he could release the holds if more documents were forthcoming. "[I]t looks a little bit different today," he said of the situation. "We'll get another [document dump] very shortly, and if it continues to be helpful, maybe by the following week we'll be able to move." But Sen Grassley stopped short of guaranteeing a release, adding "I can't make that judgment now."
