 STATEMENT  OF  COMMISSIONER  JONATHAN  S.  ADELSTEIN  ON  RECONFIRMATION  BY  THE  U.  S.  SENATE 
 As  a  lifelong  public  servant,  it  is  especially  gratifying  to  be  given  such  a  rare  opportunity  to  continue  to  work  on  behalf  of  this  great  country.  The  issues  before  us  are  critical  to  our 
 economy  and  touch  people  in  deeply  personal  ways.  I  will  continue  to  promote  the  interests  of  the  American  public  in  having  access  to  the  best  possible  communications  opportunities  in  the 
 world.
