A Needham, Harper memo quotes White House staffer Brian Lamb on replacing FCC appointees including Burch Johnson and Wiley. The memo, later partly disavowed by Lamb and memo writer Alan Katzenstein, suggests presidential influence over the industry but includes hedged remarks. Separately, the Selective Service faces a flood of 4.5 million draft forms, wasting 2.6 million due to computer limits and costing about 30000 in mailing and processing.
