FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: News Media contact: March 19, 2007 Bruce Gottlieb at (202) 418-2000 COMMISSIONER COPPS ANNOUNCES STAFF CHANGES Commissioner Michael J. Copps announced today that Jessica Rosenworcel, his Senior Legal Advisor and advisor on media issues, will be leaving the Federal Communications Commission to serve as Senior Legal Counsel to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, working on telecommunications and media issues. Commissioner Copps said he greeted Ms. Rosenworcel’s departure with “mixed emotions” because of the extensive reliance he has placed on this “remarkable public servant.” “Jessica has it all,” Copps said, “keen intellect, vision and superb practical judgment for the art of the possible. She has led my staff through some of the most challenging proceedings in the recent history of the Commission, and she has done it with both admirable strength and a wonderfully pleasant demeanor. All of these skills will suit her well and contribute enormously to the work of our friends on the Senate Commerce Committee. Their gain is my loss, but the public interest benefits no matter what government post Jessica happens to hold.” Before joining Commissioner Copps’s office, Ms. Rosenworcel served as legal counsel to the chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau. She received her law degree from New York University School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University. Bruce Gottlieb, advisor on spectrum and international issues, will serve as the office’s primary point-of-contact for media issues and Scott Deutchman will serve as advisor on competition and universal service issues. John Branscome—on detail from his post as Chief of the Spectrum and Competition Policy Division of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau—will assist on spectrum and international issues. All staff changes take place immediately. - FCC -
