Whereas, The Society of Motion Picture Engineers has been apprised of the hearing on frequency allocation for nongovernmental services in the range of 10 kilocycles to 30,000,000 kilocycles, on September 28, 1944, before the Federal Communications Commission; and
Whereas, On September 18, 1944, the Television Committee of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers passed unanimously a Resolution of same date outlining specific frequency allocations for Theatrical Television, which Resolution has been directed to the attention of the Federal Communications Commission and industry representatives (Panels 1, 2, 6, 8, and 9 of the Radio Technical Planning Board) ; and
Whereas, Since submitting the aforesaid Resolution, the Society of Motion Picture Engineers has been apprised of the availability of frequency allocations in the frequency spectrum in Channel Group C (300 to 1000 me) for Television Services, and in view thereof, by this Resolution, desires to modify its original frequency allocations outlined in the aforesaid Resolution as in the opinion of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, allocation of frequencies within this Channel Group C for Television Services should be allocated on a parity basis between the different types of Television Services, namely, Television Broadcasting and Theater Television ; and
Whereas, For an immediately necessary post-war Theater Television Service, Equipment will be more readily obtainable and adaptable for transmission and reception in this lower frequency Channel C than for the higher frequency Channel D and it is the desire of the Motion Picture Industry to initiate this new Theater Television Industry at the earliest possible post-war date and therefore does not wish to be handicapped in this endeavor or to be penalized more than other Television Services; and
Whereas, On the basis of this availability of frequency allocations in Channel Group C (300 to 1000 me) the Society of Motion Picture Engineers desires to modify the frequency band allocations requested in Resolution dated September 18, 1944, to the following specific frequency band allocations, totaling 1500 me, for immediately necessary post-war Theater Television (as distinguished from the foreseen later requirements outlined in aforesaid Resolution) :
(1} 8 contiguous 20 me cleared channels or a band of 160 me from 600 to
