524 AmSong, Inc. MEMORANDUM To: AmSong, Inc. — Members From: Mary Rodgers Date: August 2, 1995 RE: Copyright Term Extension Act of 1995 - H.R. 989 and S.483 A hearing was held on the Copyright Term Extension Act o f 1995~H.R. 989~in Washington, DC on July 13, 1995. We were extremely fortunate to have AmSong member Quincy Jones testify at the hearing in support of the Bill. In addition, a number of AmSong members submitted written statements in support of the legislation Other witnesses testifying in support of H.R, 989 were Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights, Ambassador Charlene Barshefsky and Bruce Lehman, Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks. A third panel of witnesses consisting of four (4) Law Professors testified in opposition to the legislation as drafted. Unfortunately, this testimony raised several issues which will need to be overcome during the course of our future lobbying, I am enclosing herewith copies of the testimony of Quincy Jones and the written statements of other AmSong members. I am also enclosing copies of the testimony of the Administration witnesses. If you have any questions about the enclosed, or if you would like copies of the opposing testimony of the law professors, please contact AmSong' s counsel, Lisa Alter, at (212) 644-8100. The next step in the House of Representatives will be a mark-up of the Bill in the Subcommittee on Intellectual Property which we expect will happen in September. We are currently preparing for the hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Senate version of the Copyright Term Extension Act, S. 483. These hearings have been tentatively scheduled for some time in September. C:\anisong\hr989meni.aiiis(8/2/95)
