           COMMISSIONER OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

     President Clinton today announced his intent to nominate Marcia E.

Miller, of Washington, D.C., as a Commissioner of the International Trade Commission.

Miller is currently the Minority Chief International Trade Counsellor to the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance where her responsibilities cover U.S. trade and tariff laws and reciprocal trade agreements. She has been with the Committee since 1987 and has participated in the formulation of such major trade legislation as the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, and the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act. Previously, she was an international economic specialist at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering and the assistant director of international trade at the American Textile Manufacturers Institute. Miller received her B.A. in international studies and political science from Miami University (Ohio) and her M.A. in international relations from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. In addition, she has studied at the Institute for American Universities in Avignon, France and at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.

The International Trade Commission (ITC) is an independent, bipartisan, quasi-judiciary agency that serves as an impartial fact-finding and analytic body providing objective and independent analyses of a wide range of international trade issues. The ITC is responsible for administering U.S. trade law remedies and makes recommendations to the President about such issues as imposing import quotas or tariffs.
