    Nomination for the Communications Satellite Corporation
    November 9, 1993

        The President announced today that he intends to nominate Peter S.
    Knight, a former top aide to Vice President Gore, to serve on the Board
    of Directors of the Communications Satellite Corporation.
        ``Peter Knight, through his many years of work for the Vice
    President and his private sector accomplishments, has established
    himself as an expert on communications matters with a solid grasp of
    business management,'' said the President. ``I think he will be an
    outstanding addition to COMSAT's board.''

    Note: A biography of the nominee was made available by the Office of the
    Press Secretary.
