Excerpt from Nomination of Reed E. Hundt to Be a Member of the Federal Communications Commission: Hearing Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress First Session, September 22, 1993 U.S. Senate, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Washington, DC. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:30 a.m., in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Ernest F. Hollings (chairman of the committee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: John D. Windhausen, Jr., staff counsel, and Rebecca A. Kojm, professional staff member; and Emily J. Gallop and Susan Adams, minority professional staff members. Opening Statement Of Senator Hollings The Chairman. Good morning. The committee will come to order. The Commerce Committee meets today to hold a hearing on the nomination of Reed Hundt to the Federal Communications Commission. The President has indicated his intention to designate Mr. Hundt as Chairman, if he is confirmed. There are many important communications issues pending today and this hearing will give the committee an opportunity to review with the nominee his views toward telecommunications policymaking. I am particularly interested in the views of the nominee on regulation. Under previous administrations, frequently all that we heard was deregulation and more deregulation. The Communications Act does not call for deregulation; it calls for appropriate regulation in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. I urge the nominee to show respect for this legislative mandate. There are several specific communications issues of concern to me, in which the FCC will play an important role. With respect to television violence, it has become clear to me that violent programs on television have been increasing in number and in intensity. I am interested in the views of this nominee on this issue and in what steps he would take, if confirmed, to lower the level of violence of the airwaves. There is also continuing concern with the FCC implementation of the 1992 Cable Act and its impact on consumers. The nominee must be particularly mindful of the congressional intent in passing that legislation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
