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.
