Interesting. Is that good or bad? Was he on our side of the fence or theirs?

COMMERCE OFFICIAL LEAVING BUSH TEAM
[SOURCE: New York Times] via Benton
Michael D. Gallagher, the top Bush administration official for
telecommunications issues, said on Monday that he had decided to step down
early next year. Gallagher, the head of the National Telecommunications
and
Information Administration at the Commerce Department, has played a major
role in negotiations between the wireless industry and the Pentagon over
steps to free valuable radio spectrum for use by the industry.
He has also led the administration's efforts to beat back proposals by
some
countries for tighter regulation over the Internet. Earlier this year, Mr.
Gallagher was a contender to head the Federal Communications Commission,
ultimately losing to Kevin J. Martin. Mr. Gallagher said he would take
time
off, probably beginning in January, to consider his next career move. He
said he expected to remain in Washington.
