2 Robert W, Sarnoff bring forward the candidates5' views on the basic issues in the campaign. Each program could range over the various issues, or if the candidates preferred, a broad area could be agreed upon by them in advance as the general subject of questions for each particular broadcast. "Specifically, we propose six one-hour broadcasts, four of which would be devoted to appearances by the Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates and two of which would be devoted to appearanc¬ es by the Vice Presidential candidates. However, we would be prepared to adjust the number of such broadcasts and their distribution as between the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates in accordance with the wishes of the candidates themselves and subject to their agreement. " Mr. Sarnoff noted that NBC would consider the possibility of broadcasting certain of the programs in time periods other than 6-7 p.m. Sunday, subject to the candidates-’ desires and NBC's scheduling arrangements. He also said NBC would make these "Meet the Press" programs available to the other networks, if they judge that they are legally able to broadcast them under the present limitations imposed by Section 315 of the Communications Act. o NBC-8/28/64
