STATEMENT OF FCC CHAIRMAN MICHAEL POWELL ON
WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENT ON FCC COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENTS


I am pleased that the President has moved forward today to announce his new FCC Commissioner appointments.

Each of the three nominees – Kathleen Abernathy, Michael Copps and Kevin Martin – if confirmed by the Senate, will bring important experience and expertise to the Commission and I welcome the opportunity to carry out the responsibilities of the FCC with them.
