"The Electronic Industries Alliance is pleased that the U.S Senate has confirmed Robert Cresanti as Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology. Mr. Cresanti has a strong background on technology issues in the private sector and experience gained from his previous public service as Staff Director for the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem and as Staff Director for the Subcommittee on Financial Services and Technology for the Senate Banking Committee. His expertise will provide the Commerce Department with a great deal of leadership. We look forward to working with Robert Cresanti and are ready to provide our assistance as the leading advocate in Washington, D.C., for the U.S. high-tech industry in realizing the Bush Administration's American Competitiveness Initiative goals and achieving success on other policy endeavors that can help technology companies compete in the 21st Century global economy."
