Nixon TV time row sparks FCC complaint
Four teen members of Congress filed with the FCC demanding equal access to network airwaves arguing current practice undermines separation of powers. They say Nixon receives free televised time while Congress lacks equivalent access, citing May 8 bombing and Haiphong actions and proposing a national peace referendum by postcard proposal. Joined by Senators Cranston Harris Hart and others, they seek FCC action to balance presidential and congressional broadcasting rights.
