Executive Summary
FTC CHAIRMAN NOMINEE PITOFSKY'S SENATE CONFIRMATION MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT in light of the Republican control of the Senate. President Clinton's Oct. 6 nomination of Robert Pitofsky -- a Washington, D.C. lawyer who served on the Federal Trade Commission in the Carter administration -- will likely face scrutiny from a Republican-controlled Senate inclined to minimize government oversight of business practices.
