Ex-FCC head dies

Former FCC Chairman Robert E. Lee died April 6, 1993, and was
remembered by the Commission as its longest-serving commissioner.
Lee, who was born in Chicago in 1912, was a commissioner from 1953
to 1981, having been appointed by President Eisenhower and
reappointed by Presidents Johnson and Nixon.  He served briefly as
chairman of the Commission, from February 5 to May 18, 1981, in the
initial days of the Reagan administration.

Before joining the FCC as an auditor Lee was an FBI special agent,
an administrative assistant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, and a
Director of Surveys and Investigations for the Appropriations
Subcommittee of the House of Representatives.
