As previously reported by Chris Imlay as forthcoming, here is the "official" note that Franca is leaving FCC to enter the private sector. Joel From: Bruce Franca Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 4:10 PM To: OET Distribution Group Subject: Important Message To all in OET – I would like to let everyone know that this will be my last week at the FCC. It is very hard for me to express how I feel about the FCC and especially OET. I’ve been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work on some things that people have thought were important -- but I’ve been even more lucky to be able to work with so many outstanding individuals and friends in OET. I have accepted a position with the Maximum Service Television – so I will be back in a year to bother some of you. In the mean time I’ll be back before that just say hi and keep in touch. It has truly been an honor and privilege to work with each of you and I will miss you all very much. Best regards, Bruce Franca Office of Engineering & Technology 418-2470
