PRESS STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER RACHELLE B. CHONG
REGARDING INTENT TO DESIGNATE NEW FCC CHAIRMAN
I am delighted to hear of the President's intent to designate William E. Kennard to be the
Chair of the Federal Communications Commission. As a long time communications lawyer and
as our general counsel during the last three and a half years, Mr. Kennard brings intelligence,
thoughtfulness and a deep substantive knowledge of communications law to the position. I have
worked very closely with Mr. Kennard during my tenure, and know he will be an outstanding
FCC Chairman who will carefully listen to all parties and make fair decisions that are consistent
with the law.
