STATEMENT OF FCC CHAIRMAN POWELL ON NCTA BOARD COMMITMENT TO VOLUNTARY OUTREACH EFFORTS


I would like to commend the Board of Directors of the National Cable Television Association for its resolution this week committing the Association and its members to a program of voluntary outreach to minorities and women to fill job vacancies.

As the Board indicated in its Resolution, diversity in the workforce is good policy and good business, and much can be accomplished through this kind of voluntary program.
