LErIER RHC'D City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had
FTM CONGRESS- been received from Congressman Shurway and reminded the
NMN StUW AY RE Council of the action It had taken on this subject at the
CABLE TW.- last Council meeting:
C0441NdCATIONS
ACr OF 1984 "Dear Mayor Olson:
(FIR 4103 )
1 am writing in regard to the Cable Telecommnmications Act
of 1984 OR 4103) which is pending before the House Energy
and Comae rce Canmi t t ee .
As you are no doubt award, HR 4103 establishes a national
cable teleconminications policy and sets a regulatory
framework to clarify local, state, and national authority.
While this legislation is based on a compromise reached
early last year by the National League of Cities and the
National Cable Telecoma mmications Association. the League's
full membership has subsequently reconsidered Its earlier
support of the compromise. Recently. the two groups, along
with the U.S. Conference of Mayors. have begun a new round
of negotiations to narrow their differences. It is
anticipated that these discussions will be concluded -within
the next few weeks.
Due to the nature of HR 4103. 1 would greatly appreciate the
benefit of your views of the legislation from the local
perspective. The full Energy and Cam a rce Cor►rm►i t t ee is
expected to consider HR 4103 in the near future, following
the conclusion of the latest round of negotiations, and the
House is e.Vected to debate the bill shortly thereafter.
Your comments would therefore be most helpful as I consider
HR 4103 and its impact on the nation, cities and consumers.
Should you or members of the City Council have questions
concerning HR 4103 or wish additional material regarding the
legislation, please do not hesitate to contact me..
Thank you for your assistance in this matter; I look
forward to learning of your views concerning this important
Issue in the near future.
With best regards,
