President Bush’s nominee for Commerce Secy. apparently has no particular past experience with the communications industries. Communications Daily found no record tying Carlos Guiterrez, CEO of breakfast cereal maker Kellogg, to the telecom or media industries. Industry observers we canvassed also told us they were unaware of any connection Guiterrez has to the industry. Michael Gallagher, NTIA dir. and the most prominent communications official in the Commerce Dept., was recently confirmed by the Senate, leading many sources to believe he planned to stay at the Dept. at least for the immediate future. President Bush nominated Gallagher via a recess appointment, which was ratified by the Senate 2 weeks ago when it formally approved Gallagher’s nomination.
