For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary

President Pleased with Court Decision on Civil Rights Commission
Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush is pleased that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit has unanimously affirmed the
administration's position that Peter Kirsanow is a member of the U.S.
Civil Rights Commission. The Bush Administration is firmly committed
to protecting the civil rights of all Americans, and the Court of
Appeals' ruling allows the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to move beyond
the question of membership and get to the important business before
it.
Peter Kirsanow was appointed to the Civil Rights Commission on
December 6, 2001, to the expired seat of Victoria Wilson.
