STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER GLORIA TRISTANION LUTHERAN CHURCH-MISSOURI SYNOD V. FCC


I am deeply disappointed by the Court's decision, which I believe was based on a mistaken understanding of our EEO rules and policies. I fully share the Chairman's continued commitment to the goal of ensuring that broadcasters reach out to all segments of the community when filling job vacancies. I look forward to reviewing proposals to revise the outreach rule to address the Court's concerns.
