 COMMISSIONER  COPPS  ANNOUNCES  STAFF  CHANGES 
 Commissioner  Michael  J.  Copps  announced  today  that  John  Giusti,  his  Acting  Legal  Advisor  for  wireless  and  international  issues,  will  be  leaving  his  staff  to  serve  as  Deputy  Bureau 
 Chief  of  the  International  Bureau.  Commissioner  Copps  expressed  his  deep  appreciation  for  John:  “I  thank  John  for  his  wise  counsel  and  advice  on  wireless  and  international  issues.  He  will 
 be  missed  by  my  office,  and  by  me  personally,  but  we  look  forward  to  working  with  him  in  his  new  capacity.  John’s  intelligence,  diplomatic  skill  and  good  judgment  will  be  a  great  asset  to  the 
 International  Bureau.  He  goes  from  addressing  issues  in  my  office  to  redressing  communications  issues  around  the  globe.  We  are  all  fortunate  to  have  someone  of  his  skill  in  this  new  position.” 


 Copps  also  announced  an  addition  to  his  office.  “I  am  pleased  to  announce  that  Scott  M.  Deutchman  will  be  joining  my  staff  as  Legal  Advisor.  He  is  a  graduate  of  Cornell  University’s 
 School  of  Industrial  and  Labor  Relations  and  a  cum  laude  graduate  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  Law  School.  Scott  most  recently  served  as  the  Managing  Director  of  The 
 LawMedia  Group,  providing  legislative  and  public  relations  counsel  for  a  variety  of  companies,  trade  associations  and  business  coalitions.  Before  that,  Scott  served  as  Minority  Counsel  to  the 
 U.  S.  House  of  Representatives  Committee  on  the  Judiciary  and  practiced  law  at  Hogan  and  Hartson  in  Washington,  DC.  In  addition,  Scott  has  been  an  Adjunct  Faculty  Member  at  the 
 University  of  Maryland  Law  School.  His  character,  policy  savvy  and  experiences  in  and  out  of  government  uniformly  have  impressed  those  who  have  worked  with  him  in  Washington.  I  look 
 forward  to  working  with  Scott  and  count  myself  fortunate  to  have  him  join  my  office  at  the  FCC.” 


 As  announced  previously,  Jessica  Rosenworcel  will  serve  as  Commissioner  Copps’  Senior  Legal  Advisor.  In  addition  to  her  duties  as  senior  advisor,  Ms.  Rosenworcel  will  serve  as 
 advisor  for  media  issues.  Scott  M.  Deutchman  will  serve  as  Legal  Advisor  for  competition  and  universal  service  issues  and  Bruce  Liang  Gottlieb  will  serve  as  Legal  Advisor  for  wireless  and
