Looks like this whole thing may have some reality hmm. Seems to me yet again the net has done well in alerting people to DC activities when it seems one would rather not have them well known. As I said before, so much for open government!!! Dave Date: Wed, 18 Jan 1995 15:17:59 -0800 From: "Brock N. Meeks" <brock () well sf ca us> To: farber () central cis upenn edu Howard Baker, the former Senate majority leader, has been named chairman of the Competitive Long Distance Coaltion. MCI Chairman, Bert Roberts, told a press conference announcing Baker's assignment that "At this point in time, we see things on a fast track," refering to the telecom reform legislation. As for the "no leaks" on information... well, I guess you have to know where to look. This is what I dug up. Only CEOs have been invited. No lobbysts will be allowed to sit in. Several industries will be represented, from cable to computer to long distance. Each will have 2 hours to make their case to the congressmen. Broadcasters hold forth between 2-4 in the afternoon (Thurs). The computer industry gets its shot late afternoon. On Friday, the long distance industry gets a hearing from 9-11 a.m, followed by the cable and satellite gys from 11 am to 1 p.m. with the telephone industry bringing up the rear at 1-3 p.m. And this is all followed up with a nice intimate dinner on Friday night... -- Brock
