To serve on the Federal Communications Commission, he has announced his intention to nominate three very able Americans: Kathleen Abernathy, Michael Copps, and Kevin Martin. I have every confidence that they will be a credit to the Commission and to the country. “I am particularly pleased with President Bush’s selection of Kevin Martin. Before joining President Bush’s election campaign as Deputy General Counsel, Kevin served with distinction on my staff. His first hand experiences inside the Commission, keen intellect, good humor, and strong commitment to public life will serve him well. Kevin will be an outstanding Commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission.” 1 2 News media Information 202 / 418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202 / 418-2830 TTY 202/418-2555 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov ftp.fcc.gov Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W.
