Kennedy pushes to restore cut in New England Commission funds
Senator Edward M. Kennedy urged the Senate Appropriations Committee to restore a $3.4 million cut from the New England Regional Commission and to fund the full $45 million proposed by the Nixon Administration under the Economic Development Act of 1965. He warned that reducing the commission’s budget from $9.7 million to $6.2 million would halt health services delivery in rural northern New England and a Nashua River pollution project, and he urged restoring the House cut and possibly increasing total funding.

FCC Proposes Expanded CATV In Major Markets
The FCC proposed far reaching rules to allow CATV systems in the 100 top markets to import up to four distant signals in exchange for deleting out of town ads and airing local commercials. A 5 percent revenue share would fund noncommercial public broadcasting, with comments invited and a final decision likely months away. The plan aims to boost CATV competition with commercial TV while protecting educational stations.
