BROADC TELECASTING he first THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 11, 1950 Dear Mr. Taishoff : I extend my sincere congratulations as you embark upon your twentieth year of publication of BROADCASTING-TELECASTING I&gazine. The importance of radio — and now television — in every phase of our national life has never been more apparent. Five years ago — on the occasion of radio's twenty-fifth anniversary — I stated in a letter to you: "Radio, with the press, must give inspired leadership and lend its facilities to making more intimate and workable the relationship between the people and Government. For radio itself there are challenging days ahead. New services are in the offing — services such as television and FM broadcasting, which will open new vistas of opportunity for public sei^ce." Those observations are just as valid today as vre resist the enemies of democracy and of liberty. I have said that a free radio is as indispensable to our democratic institutions as a free press. In sending you my congratulations on two decades of service to the media that constitute "audible journalism," allow me to express the hope that your publication will continue to espouse free, competitive radio institutions in the established American tradition. Very sincerely Mr. Sol Taishoff, Editor and Publisher, BROADCASTING-TELECASTING Magazine, 870 National Press Building, Washington 4, D. C.
