	COMMISSIONER MARTIN'S STATEMENT ON COMMISSIONER TRISTANI'S DEPARTURE ANNOUNCEMENT
	"Commissioner Tristani will be greatly missed at the Commission. I have had the privilege of working with her for a number of years - both when I was a staffer and a fellow Commissioner. Throughout her career here, she has been an asset to the Commission and the Nation, bringing to bear a keen intellect, tremendous enthusiasm, and dedication to public service. She has made great strides for all Americans, particularly consumers and traditionally underserved groups. Commissioner Tristani has had a distinguished career here, and I am confident that she will go on to do many other great things." - FCC -
