Senator (unnamed) asked the nominee addressed as "Mister Beater" to commit to voting against two Federal Trade Commission proposed rulemakings on earnings claims; the senator said the rules "unfairly targeted the direct selling industry," which he said represents about 38,000 jobs and $2,700,000,000 in statewide earnings. The nominee said he could not commit to a specific vote if confirmed but promised to work with staff, get up to speed, and give the industry's concerns "full and fair consideration," after which the senator accepted that assurance.
