Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) might not lift his hold on President Obama's two nominees to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) even if he receives documents as part of the House Commerce Committee's probe over wireless start-up LightSquared.

Sen Grassley said whether he lifts his hold will depend on whether he still has more questions for the FCC after the House's investigation. "I'm not going to let [the nominees] go until we get the information that we're entitled to from the FCC," Sen Grassley said. "It depends upon whether I have more questions as a result of looking at [the documents from the House's investigation]. If I don't have any more questions, then it might be a reason to let them go."
