The Columbia University International Journalists Seminar
Welcome to the Federal Trade Commission! The FTC is a law enforcement agency that has been on duty since 1915, protecting consumers from unfair methods of competition and deceptive business practices.
I am one of the five FTC Commissioners and would like to give you an overview of the FTC, its missions, its organization, and where it fits into our government.
Remarks at the National Home Equity Mortgage Association's Annual Conference 2000, Hyatt Grand Cypress Resort
Orlando, Florida
As is always the case, we Commissioners need to remind our audiences that our remarks at gatherings such as this are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or any of my fellow Commissioners.
Before I launch into the topic of the FTC and fair lending, I would like to share with you some personal observations and philosophy about government which guide my approach to decision making as a Commissioner at the FTC, as well as in my past executive roles in the federal government.

Thank you for inviting me to address you today. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this year's TACD meeting and I hope you have found it to be as productive as we in the U.S. Government have. As many of you know, I have to preface my remarks by stating that my views here today do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or other Commissioners. But I think I can say on behalf of the entire Commission and its staff that we welcome those of you from abroad to Washington and thank all of you for the opportunity to share in your dialogue.

The Woodrow Wilson Center Sovereignty in the Digital Age Series
Washington, D.C.
Let me start this discussion by complimenting the Woodrow Wilson Center in its resolve to discuss issues relating to the digital age - especially as those challenges relate to the globalization of commerce. We are at the outset of a revolution in commerce, both in manufacturing and marketing, that surpasses anything we have seen since the communications and transportation developments at the end of the 19th century. The challenge to the private and public sector is to encourage that revolution, but contain the excesses that revolutions often produce.

The American Bar Association, Section of Antitrust Law, Workshop on "Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances: The New Federal Antitrust Competitor Collaboration Guidelines", J.W. Marriott Hotel
Washington, D.C.
Good morning to all of you attending this workshop on the draft Antitrust Guidelines for Collaborations Among Competitors. I regret that out-of-town travel has prevented me from being here to listen to the insights that you bring to bear on the draft Guidelines. But I'm delighted that the miracle of not-so-modern technology has enabled me to share with you a few thoughts about the Guidelines. For my next "remote appearance," I am contemplating morphing into a PowerPoint presentation. Stay tuned . . .

Privacy In American Business Conference
Arlington, VA
It is a pleasure to be with you this morning. As is the custom when a FTC Commissioner speaks, I must tell you that I speak only for myself and not the Commission. I would like to discuss for a few minutes this morning the status of industry self regulation of privacy on the Internet; the FTC's role in bringing law enforcement cases; and the children's privacy rule we issued last month. I hope to leave the balance of my time for questions and answers.

It is a pleasure to be with you today in San Diego. As is always the case for Federal Trade Commissioners, it is important for me to note that my comments today are my own and in no way represent the views of the Commission or of any other Commissioner.
There are a number of issues before the Commission and the Country that I would like to discuss today that should be of interest to you all, especially here in California -- the Internet Economy, Online Privacy and Antitrust concerns for high tech industries.
FTC-FCC Joint Public Forum on Advertising and Marketing of Dial-around and Other Long Distance Services
Good morning. I would like to thank the Federal Communications Commission for working with the Federal Trade Commission to organize this public forum on the advertising of dial-around and other long-distance telecommunications services. I would particularly like to thank Chairman Kennard for the leadership he has shown in emphasizing the importance of responsible, non-deceptive advertising, and by establishing strong consumer protection policies as an important agency goal.
