That mirrored speculation that one industry investor told R &R he's heard from multiple sources, but FCC spokesman David Fiske told R &R that nothing could be further from the truth. "The reports are without foundation," Fiske said. "He has no plans to leave the commission." The rumors may have been Know Any Out -of -Work fueled by the recent departure of Powell's chief Legal Advisor, Susan Eid, but Fiske said Eid always planned to move on when the new owner- ship rules were completed.
