Administration Sends FCC Nomination to Senate

The White House sent the last nomination to round out the FCC commissioners to the Senate for confirmation this week. The nomination of Jonathan Adelstein, a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., was delayed for several months due to disputes between Daschle, Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss, and between Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. and other senators. The Senate Commerce Committee has slated a confirmation hearing for next week.
