STATEMENT BY COMMISSIONER COPPS ON COMMISSIONER
TRISTANI'S DEPARTURE ANNOUNCEMENT


"I wish to congratulate Commissioner Tristani on the contributions she has made to this agency and to the public interest. While I was not privileged to work alongside Gloria for very long, I will always remember and appreciate the warmth of her welcome when I came to the Commission and I am very much indebted to her for the counsel she has shared with me since my arrival. What sets Gloria apart as a public servant is a very special combination of keen intelligence, enthusiasm, and an unflagging commitment to ensure that every American participates fully in the great information technology revolution of our time. Her work has advanced that cause tremendously. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
