“Maria Pallante is that rare Washington policy expert who spends time outside of Washington. Not only is she one of the nation’s foremost experts on copyright, she made a point of learning directly from stakeholders how copyright affects our citizens’ lives. We thank Ms. Pallante for her service, and we look forward to working with the Librarian of Congress as she considers the appointment to replace the highly regarded Pallante.”
