Eliza Newlin Carney: Rules of the Game
Who Will Lead The FTC?
Congress Daily colleague Andrew Noyes has an item in his blog Tech Daily Dose on possible nominees for the Federal Trade Commission.
He says FTC Commissioner and onetime Hollywood lobbyist Jon Leibowitz is a top contender to lead the agency. Leibowitz, who served as vice president for congressional affairs at the Motion Picture Association of America and worked as Democratic counsel for the Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee, was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2004. Another former FTC commissioner whose name is being floated is Mozelle Thompson, a policy adviser to social-networking site Facebook.
