Kovacic Named Chair of FTC:

Bill Kovacic has been named by President Bush to Chair the Federal Trade Commission. Bill was General Counsel when I was the Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the FTC and it was one of my great pleasures to work with him. Note that because he has been confirmed as a Commissioner already, his appointment as Chair requires no further confirmation.

Whatever else you think of the competence of Bush appointments in other parts of the government, the FTC has benefitted from truly outstanding leadership for many years (Muris, Majoras). And that certainly continues with the appointment of Bill Kovacic to chairman. He will be terrific in this role.

Good for Professor Kovacic. I had him for antitrust and he was very good, although I thought my B+ was a notch too low.
