“Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson may get more than one remedy
proposal from the government because of disagreements between the
states and federal officials over a remedy in the Microsoft
antitrust case.”
“That’s according to Joel Klein, the U.S. assistant attorney
general, who today offered the U.S. House Judiciary Committee scant
insight into the issues surrounding the remedy dispute. Klein told
the committee that the view of the states on potential remedies
“are not always identical to ours.””
“While the government is hoping to submit a single remedy
proposal to Jackson by the court-ordered April 28 deadline, Klein
said the states could produce an independent proposal. “One can’t
guarantee an outcome,” said Klein.”
