STATEMENT FROM FCC CHAIRMAN JULIUS GENACHOWSKI 

ON THE PASSING OF MIKE WALLACE

“For more than half a century, Mike Wallace used the power of broadcasting to report and deliver some 
of the most important news stories of our time.  He made an indelible mark, enriching not only the field of 
broadcast journalism for future generations, but also the lives of the millions of Americans who watched 
him each week.  My deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones at this difficult time.”
