National Association of Educational Broadcasters 1340 CONNECTICUT AVENUE WASHINGTON 36. D. C. WILLIAM G. HARLEY PRESIDENT January 13, 1965 TO NAEB INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS In revising our over-all publications program, the deter¬ mination was made to turn over to the Divisions the respon¬ sibility for reprinting news of the latest developments in Washington affecting the various areas of educational broad¬ casting. Hereafter the Washington Report will be devoted to w in-depth M reports of general interest to the membership. On the important issue of community antenna television regulation, we are pleased to inaugurate our new Washington Report with a paper by the NAEB General Counsel, Norman Jorgensen. Mr. Jorgensen's paper is based on a study of the comments that parties have made before the Federal Communications Commission and concludes with some general recommendations particularly oriented toward educational television stations. The development of wired systems that serve as adjuncts to broadcast facilities is already a part of the service pro¬ vided to the public. While it has been related to educational television, there are no technical reasons why educational radio stations could not be included. Although such possibilities may appear remote at this time, we are including members of NER in this mailing so that all of the NAEB Institutional Division will be informed of current status of comments before the Commission. On December 9, a meeting between NAEB/ETS officials and the educational television committee of the National Community Television Association established the need for close contact between the two groups in order to minimize conflicting positions. We shall undoubtedly be sending you further reports. -W.G. Harley
