Following (Mass Media Bureau Chief Roy) Stewart's presentation, in which he applauded his staff for their dealings with LPFM, two Commissioners got into a bit of debate over LPFM. "When Congress has to come in and clean up the mess, it is not an accomplishment for this agency," said Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth (R). That prompted Commissioner Gloria Tristani (D) to defend the FCC's move to create LPFM. "Low power radio was a response to the real need of the American public and the American people to have a little part of that spectrum," she said. Stewart had earlier stated that approximately 40% of the LPFM applications on file will be nullified by congressional action which reinstated third adjacent channel protection from interference. Tristani lamented the churches and community groups which will not be able to broadcast using what she again inisted was "a tiny bit of spectrum."
