JONATHAN ADELSTEIN ON HIS SENATE CONFIRMATION
“I would like to congratulate former FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein on his Senate 
confirmation to serve as head of U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS). 
Jonathan’s long history of outstanding public service in Congress and at the Commission will be 
a tremendous benefit to the important work of the USDA. I look forward to forging a strong 
partnership with Jonathan as the FCC and RUS collaborate to extend the benefits of broadband 
to all corners of the country.”
