CLYBURN ON DEPARTURE OF ANGELA E. GIANCARLO “I wish for my friend, Angela Giancarlo, the very best as she embarks on career opportunities outside of the agency. Angela has been an excellent advocate for Commissioner McDowell’s policy priorities since 2006. Commissioner McDowell is not, however, the only one who will regret her departure. This agency is losing a legal advisor with an impressive amount of institutional knowledge. My advisors constantly tell me how much they appreciate her leadership, knack for quickly finding common ground, and her willingness to carefully consider our recommendations on circulated items. I have personally benefitted from her candid and sage advice and will always be impressed by her insight about the communications industry. While she will be incredibly missed, I am confident Angela will bring the same intellect, common sense, humor, and candor to her future endeavors.” --FCC--
