The MPAA today announces Jack Valenti’s successor, one Dan Glickman, a former Congressman from Kansas and former Secretary of Agriculture. Glickman will assume Valenti’s role as President and CEO of the trade organization September 1.

Glickman had this to say: “As America’s most wanted export, the American movie is also a great source of economic growth. I am eager to begin working with my new colleagues at MPAA, here and abroad, with the Congress, the federal government, state legislatures, with officials of nations on all the continents, as well as the global creative community.”

It is unknown at this time if he is talking about protecting MPAA copyrights on Antartica.
