Contempt citation for FCC chairman Hyde voted by committee
The Howe Commerce Committee approved a contempt of Congress citation against FCC chairman Rosel H Hyde by a 20 to 13 vote after two days of debate over his refusal to release subpoened records in a radio station license renewal case before November 3. The action targets public access to regulatory records as lawmakers seek to compel disclosure ahead of key licensing decisions. Hyde, retiring after 41 years with the FCC, said he would not comment beyond maintaining that records are privileged until a decision is final. The FCC spokesman said documents would be handed over when the WIFE Indianapolis file becomes final on November 3. The future of the contempt resolution remains uncertain, with potential referrals to the Justice Department and uncertain precedent for charging a federal agency head.

Revision of Conflict Law Urged by California Officials
Sacramento officials warn many public servants will quit rather than disclose holdings under the 1968 required financial disclosure law. Richard Carpenter of the League of California Cities urges the Assembly committee to revise the measure set to take effect April 11, 1970, expanding to candidates and imposing penalties for noncompliance. He says the law will deter incumbents and deter nonpaying town offices from seeking or holding office, with serious prison consequences for violations and broader disclosure of large contributions.
