FCC nominee ROBERT McDOWELL faces the Senate on THURSDAY, as the Commerce Committee quizzes the COMPTEL Assistant General Counsel to decide whether to confirm him for the Commission.
One complicating factor is that McDOWELL's work for COMPTEL in opposing telecom mergers may require McDOWELL to recuse himself from considering the proposed purchase of BELLSOUTH by AT&T; if COMPTEL takes a formal position on the merger, McDOWELL would be likely to recuse himself.
