STATEMENT OF MICHAEL K. POWELL ON RENOMINATION TO FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
I am gratified by the confidence President Bush has indicated in my tenure as Chairman of the Federal Communication Commission by the announcement that he intends to renominate me for a second Commission term.
If confirmed by the Senate, the extension of my term beyond next June’s expiration date will provide a positive and helpful continuity to the important work that I, and the new Commissioners who will be taking office later this year, will be engaged in.
I dedicate myself to working with the administration, Congress, my fellow Commissioners and the capable FCC staff in addressing the important issues facing the telecommunications industries.
