FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554

March 11, 1969

IN REPLY REFER TO;

Professor Joshua Lederberg
Department of Genetics
Stanford University

Stanford Medical Center
Palo Alto, California 94304

Dear Professor Lederberg:

Iam a regular reader of your column in the Post
and am happy to send you the material you requested.
Enclosed are two FCC opinions on foreign attachments.

As for the criticism of the new ATT tariffs, interested
parties have very recently filed their suggestions for tariff
revision. The Department of Justice has requested a

hearing on the matter of whether Bell is to be the only entity
to install and maintain network control signaling devices
which are the dial mechanisms. So far as I know, neither
the Department of Justice nor the Department of Defense have
filed new criticisms of the tariffs. However, I do anticipate
some further changes in the Bell tariffs.

The inquiry and notices on CATV are also enclosed.
And the Stanford Research Institute reports on the computer
inquiry may be made public in the future; their report on inter-
service sharing in the land mobile communication services may
be made available quite soon.

I occasionally get to Palo Alto and would very much like
to have a chance to meet and talk with you.

Sincerely,

¢,

  

Nictfolas Johnson
Commissioner
