FCC's Powell to undergo more tests

A lingering illness continues to bedevil Federal Communications Commission
chairman Michael Powell, who remained at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda,
Md., for a second day of tests Thursday.

An undiagnosed illness has forced Powell to cancel engagements over the
past three weeks, and he is in the process of canceling scheduled
appearances for next week.

Powell's illness initially forced him to cancel a Jan. 8
question-and-answer session at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
After returning home and heading the FCC's Jan. 17 open meeting, Powell
felt too weak to return to Las Vegas for an appearance at the National
Association of Television Programming Executives' show.

Powell's doctors initially assumed that the illness was food poisoning, but
other causes are now being considered.
