For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
September 25, 2003
Statement by the President
Unwanted telemarketing calls are intrusive, annoying, and all too
common. When Americans are sitting down to dinner, or parents are
reading to their children, the last thing they want is a call from a
stranger with a sales pitch.
For that reason, I have strongly supported the actions of the
Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission to
establish a National Do Not Call Registry and protect consumers.
The millions of people who have signed up for the list have the
right to reduce unwanted telephone solicitations. I commend Congress
for its rapid action to support the Registry, and I look forward to
signing this legislation.
