Creighton4 C 1°-i } <br /> Legal Counsel <br /> North Suburban Cable Communications Commission <br /> } RE: Cable Television Regulation <br /> • <br /> As you may know, the federal government is investigating numerous alternatives <br /> to the regulation of cable television. Proposals range from complete <br /> deregulation to increasing the city's control in certain areas such as rates. <br /> NATOA, previously the telecommunications arm of the National League of Cities, <br /> has distributed to its members the enclosed Resolution. As you can see, <br /> the Resolution encourages Congress to come down on the side of preserving <br /> the city's regulatory authority over cable and in some instances, such <br /> as rates, expanding that regulatory authority. <br /> NATOA has recommended to its member cities that you adopt this Resolution <br /> as a policy statement and forward it to Minnesota's United States Senators <br /> and your United States Representative. The North Suburban Cable Commission <br /> has reviewed the enclosed Resolution and also recommends its adoption by <br /> you. <br /> The Commission would recommend that you not only send the Resolution on <br /> behalf of the city to Senator Boschwitz, Senator Durenberger and your <br /> United States Representative, but also to influential chairs of Senate <br /> and House committees considering cable regulation at this time. We would <br /> recommend that you send the Resolution to Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr, <br /> Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Ernest F. Hollings, <br /> Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, <br /> and Representative John D. Dingell, Chair of the House Energy and Commerce <br /> Committee. Instructions for the latter three mailings are attached for <br /> your information. <br /> •7 � <br /> ., _:_ - . -,,. . :, - t 2'y':.n ,......CP.Y <br />
