Blaine (R) of Wisconsin, introduced the following resolution: RESOLVED, that the Attorney General of the United States is requested to report fully to the Senate at the earliest practicable date upon the present status of the follow¬ ing entitled suit: In the District Court of the United States of the District of Delaware Equity No. 793, U.S. of America, * vs. Radio Corporation of America, General Electric Company, American Telephone & Telegraph Company, Western Electric Company, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, RCA Photophone Company, RCA-Victor Company, General Motors Radio Corporation and General Motors Corporation, defendants, upon any negotiations or conferences which may have taken place between the representa¬ tives of the government and the said defendants or any of them and/or their attorneys or representatives, the filing of the peti¬ tion in the said suit, to wit, May 13, 1930, and upon any action taken by their officers since that date to amend the petition in said action and to expedite the settling thereof and to trans¬ mit a copy of the proceedings and said action AND RESOLVED FURTHER that the Attorney General is requested not to compromise or settle said suit or consent to the entry of the consent decree therein until the Senate has received the information and advices requested here¬ in, to the end that legislation may be initiated for the pro¬ tection of the public interests . and the said guarding of the radio industry.
