422 Mr. Reichman. They cut it down to 95. Mr. MOORHEAD. That's what we heard in her testimony that she gave. Mr. Reichman. Well, I think there's a substantial chance that that would be the case, that the director would get 95 — would get another 20 years. Mr. MooRHEAD. So that's the reason for the Mr. Reichman. The producer would not, of course. The producer would continue to get 50 years. Mr. Karjala. May I just interject briefly? It's not clear that the director would get anything. We would measure the term by the director's life, but if the director has assigned his right, if he had any rights and has assigned them to the movie company, the director is not going to get anything anyway. Mr. MoORHEAD. They — ^Europe does it differently in the split of the benefits, and the director shares over there, even Americans, and that would help that. At least that's what I heard in the testimony that was given. John, do you have anything else that you want to ask? Mr. CONYERS.

Thank you very much for coming. Mr. Reichman. Thank you for inviting us. Thank you very, very much. Mr. MOORHEAD. The subcommittee is adjourned. [Whereupon, at 1:32 p.m., the subcommittee adjourned.]
