	STATEMENT FROM GLORIA TRISTANI, CHAIR OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION V-CHIP TASK FORCE
	"One of the biggest challenges facing the V-chip is educational. Many parents simply don't know that the V-chip exists and how it can be used in their everyday lives. I'm thrilled to have Kermit's help in getting the word out. He has the rare ability to reach across the generations and deliver the message to parents and kids alike."
