**STATEMENT OF**

**CHAIRMAN MICHAEL K. POWELL**

*Re: Complaints Against Various Broadcast Licensees Regarding Their
Airing of the*

*"Golden Globe Awards" Program*

Today, we overturn the Enforcement Bureau's October 2003 decision and
find that the use of the "F-word" during last year's broadcast of the
Golden Globes violates the federal statute. This sends a signal to the
industry that the gratuitous use of such vulgar language on broadcast
television will not be tolerated.

For the first time, the Commission has applied the profanity section of
the statute for the broadcast of this highly offensive word, an
application I fully support. The Commission has an important obligation
to punish those who violate our law. In administering our authority, the
Commission must afford parties fair warning and due process and not let
our zeal trample these fundamental protections. Given that today\'s
decision clearly departs from past precedent in important ways, I could
not support a fine retroactively against the parties. Prospectively,
parties are on notice that they could now face significant penalties for
similar violations.

Going forward, as instructed by the Supreme Court, we must use our
enforcement tools cautiously. As I have said since becoming a
Commissioner, government action in this area can have a potential
chilling effect on free speech. We guard against this by ruling when a
clear line has been crossed and the government has no choice but to act.

We will continue to respect the delicate balance of protecting the
interests of the First Amendment with the need to protect our children.

# IMA Washington Tri-Cities Chapter Strategic Plan

# 2002-03 President, Greg Selby

**Help the chapter to accomplish its primary goals of:**

Communicate IMA headquarters' and chapters' goals and accomplishments.

> Facilitate members' professional development with informative and
> enjoyable meeting and events.

Increase the value of holding an IMA professional membership.

Expand our chapters' involvement with community service.

**[Goals and Objectives For Lead Areas:]{.underline}**

**Administration and President Elect:**

Monitor each activity to assure good support to the board and
membership. Assure the effectiveness of board meeting by timely issuance
of agenda, prior month's minutes and Treasurer's report. Develop
leadership talent to ensure future chapter success. Foster leadership
growth to ensure smooth transitional.

**Professional Education:**

Develop an educational program for monthly meetings, plus at least one
professional seminar. Encourage members and prospective members to study
for and to sit for the CMA and CFM exams. Develop and execute organized
study classes for the CMA/CFM certification.

**Membership and Marketing:**

Increase membership levels and improve retention. Establish an IMA
member at each major employer who will coordinate member acquisition
activities at that employer.

**Communications and Community Relations:**

Provide chapter communications to the community. Publish a Program
Roster book by September 15, 2002. Distribute this roster at our first
monthly meeting. Maintain and enhance chapter web page content with
current and reverent information.

**Corporate and Academic Development:**

Meet with at least two targeted employers to educate on the benefits of
IMA and coordinate support. Make aware and encourage students to apply
for the chapters' undergraduate scholarship.

**[Chapter Strengths and Weaknesses:]{.underline}**

Our chapter has been very successful these last few years due to high
quality seminars and excellent monthly speakers. Two key successes are
our monthly newsletters which are both timely and informative and
working to make the monthly professional education meeting enjoyable.
The chapter enjoys a health financial position, which allows for free
meals and refreshments at our monthly meetings. We can draw upon a
seasoned board, which is motivated to put out a valuable and quality
product. The chapter has come off its second banner year and has great
momentum.

But with all our strengths, we have identified some weaknesses we want
to address. A challenge we have is to "close the sale" with new members
and motivating all members into active participation and board
membership. And where we note that our chapter is strong financially, we
are sitting on too much cash that could be used for community service
projects. We also let pass last year the opportunity to enter an AOC --
Executive of the Year nomination.

ABSTRACT

Lignin is, after cellulose, the world's second most abundant terrestrial
bipolymer. It is made up of three monomers namely *p*-coumaryl,
coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol. Lignin is mostly found in the cell walls
of the plants and apart from resistance to pathogens it offers strength
and rigidity to the plant tissue. Lignin biosynthesis is mostly
regulated at the genetic level and several genes involved in the lignin
biosynthesis pathway have been identified.

Lignin is produced in high quantities in crops such as oat, which is
mainly used as a fodder for cattle. Although lignin is beneficial for
the plants, due to its polymeric form, it acts as a physical barrier to
the microbial enzymes in the rumen of the cattle and thus reduces the
nutritional ability of the plant fibers drastically. Previous work from
other systems has demonstrated that over-expression or knocking out
genes in the lignin biosynthesis will alter lignin levels and/or
properties. Thus, one way to increase the forage digestibility of oat
seeds would be to silence one or several genes involved in the
lignification of oat seed hulls. By taking advantage of available DNA
sequence information from public databases we cloned and sequenced the
*phenylalanine ammonia lyase* (*PAL*), *caffeoyl-CoA
O-methyltransferase* (*CCoAOMT*) and *caffeic acid O methyl transferase*
(*COMT*) genes from oat. These genes encode important steps in lignin
biosynthesis. We have recently produced a Tilling population for oat,
including 2800 DNA preparations isolated from the segregating M2
population. The obtained oat lignin gene sequence information will now
be used to identify mutants in the chosen lignin biosynthesis genes.

In parallel experiments, again by taking advantage of the oat Tilling
population, seeds from different mutational events were screened for the
low lignin content with the phloro-glucinol staining assay. So far seven
independent mutant lines showing less staining in their seed coats and
three lines with increased staining were identified from 192 screened
mutational events. This effect remained also after self-crossing the
low-lignin seeds demonstrating that the character is genetically stable.
Work is now going on to identify the precise genetic events responsible
for the low lignin phenotype in these mutants.
Transparency International, now a household name

Transparency International\'s Kenya Chapter (TI-K) has made exceptional
progress since it began active operation in 1999, with USAID assistance.
In only a few years, TI-K has dramatically transformed from a barely
known organization to a household name at the fore-front of
spear-heading reforms and promoting transparency and good governance in
public institutions.

![](media/image1.png){width="2.75in" height="2.375in"}Among its' key
achievements, TI-K is particularly famous for creating corruption
awareness through its Kenya Urban Bribery Index. In 2001, the Index
revealed that public institutions topped the list of most corrupt
institutions in Kenya, however, the 2002 index recorded a significant
improvement in a number of institutions including the top ranked Kenya
Police with a 33 percent reduction in cases, owing to public exposure.
The Index received wide acclaim including full-page coverage in the Time
Magazine.

TI-K's highly publicized study on the "Harambee" initiative (Self- Help)
and how it perpetrated corruption prompted the Kenya government to ban
the initiative. TI-K is also credited for playing a lead role in
lobbying for the enactment of the Public Officers\' Ethics Bill. In its
effort to increase awareness on corruption, TI-K has since April 2001,
sponsored 'Face-Off', a 60-minute weekly radio talk and call-in show,
currently the leading talk show on Nation Radio. These efforts are also
complemented by TI-K's website, which remains extremely popular
averaging over 600 \'hits\' per day. Every month visitors download over
670 publications from the site.

TI-K prides itself on more than raising awareness, and assesses its own
effectiveness by whether it can create demand for assistance from both
the GOK and private sector in tackling issues of transparency that
adversely impact these organizations. TI-K has been successful in this
venture. TI-K now provides institutional cover for the Kenya Chapter of
the African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) which
has emerged as the leading economic governance, parliamentary
cross-party caucus. TI-K, acting as the secretariat for APNAC, also
occasionally provides technical expertise to the Attorney General\'s
legislative drafting department in the form of legal opinions and
briefs.

The Director of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Kenya
Police and the Head of the Anti-Corruption Police Unit recently
contacted TI-K to assist them in addressing corruption within the police
force. This is particularly noteworthy given that the police were ranked
the most corrupt institution in Kenya, yet, they did not attack the
methodology and ranking they received as expected. The fact that they
have reached out for TI-K\'s assistance provides concrete evidence of
the organization\'s legitimacy, the effectiveness of the awareness
raising campaign, and a nation that is coming to terms with the need to
deal with corruption.

October 12, 1994 CLA-2 CO:R:C:F 956684 JGH

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 0406.10.1000

John N. Politis, Esq. Politis, Pollack & Doram 3255 Wilshire Blvd, Suite
1688 Los Angeles, California 90010

Dear Mr. Politis:

Your letter of July 1, 1994, concerns the classification of \"Chongos\",
a cheese dessert; a product of Mexico.

FACTS:

The product is described as a caramel colored, semi-solid product with a
sweet taste and having a smooth consistency when mixed; it is said to
consist of curdled cow\'s milk (with the enzyme rennet added), sugar,
and bits of cinnamon sticks; by weight it contains milk curd -64.87%,
refined sugar - 35%, cinnamon - 0.10%, and rennet-0.03%. A laboratory
analysis of a sample was said to reveal that the curd portion contained
35.6 percent moisture, 7.1 percent fat (11 percent fat on a dry basis).

In a ruling on this product in 1989 (NYRL 846287), Chongos was
classified under the provision for Fresh cheese (including whey cheese),
not fermented, and curd, in subheading 0406.10.0050, HTSUS, and subject
to the quota restraints of subheading 9904.10.54, HTSUS.

ISSUE:

Classification and quota status of Chongos under NAFTA

LAW AND ANALYSIS:

You point out that subsequent to the 1989 ruling, a eo nomine provision
was created for Chongos - 0406.10.100, HTSUS. It is your view that as
the cheese is not a blue mold cheese, American or European style cheese
or cheese substitutes, it is not a cheese subject to the quota in U.S.
Note 8, Subchapter VI, Chapter 99, HTSUS.

\- 2 -

However, Note 8 is far more inclusive a quota than that. It is
specifically designed for dairy products of Mexico entered under the
provisions of NAFTA. The cheese categories listed in this quota parallel
the headings of 0406 and are obviously designed to cover virtually all
of cow\'s milk cheese, even those containing less than 0.5 percent
butterfat. Since this is a cow\'s milk cheese with a butter fat content
of 11.1%, on a dry basis, it clearly falls under the quota set forth in
U.S. Note 8. In fact, subheading 9906.04.81 is one of the provisions
listed in the quota to cover a product of cow\'s milk .

Since quota limitations on imported dairy products are established
pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Act, as amended, if you
disagree with our conclusion on the quota status of this cheese, it is
suggested that you submit to this office, a written statement from the
Head of the Dairy, Livestock and Poultry Division, Foreign Agricultural
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, stating that Chongos is not
subject to quota restraints. Upon receipt of such a letter we would
review our position on the quota issue.

HOLDING:

Chongos, a cheese dessert, is classifiable in subheading 0406.10.1000,
HTSUS, and, as a product of Mexico, under 9906.04.81, is free of duty
and, since it is made from cow\'s milk, subject to the quota restraints
of U.S. Note 8, Subchapter, VI, Chapter 99, HTSUS.

Sincerely,

John Durant, Director

*Paecilomyces variotii* was used as a biocaalist agent capable of
oxidizing isosafrole with 100% of conversion. The biotransformation
process was carried out by using a broth rich peroxidase. Peroxidase
activity (0.12 U mL^-1^) was followed by guaiacol and hydrogen
peroxidase. The transformation of the xenobiotic substrate was performed
in 100 mL glass flask containing 30 mL of *Paecilomyces variotii*
culture broth, 2mL of 10mM substrate solution, 3mL of citrate buffer
solution (pH 3.0) and 1 mL of 23 mM hydrogen peroxide solution, on
magnetic stirring with controlled temperature (28 ^o^C). After 24h
reaction, a sample of 2 mL was withdrawn, worked up and analysed by GC
and GC/MS. Results indicated the production of piperonal as the sole
reaction product. Piperonal is an aldehyde of great commercial
importance for the flavor and fragrance industries.

Re: [Confidentiality Request of Lincoln Communications,
Inc.]{.underline}

Dear Mr. Valois:

This letter responds to the request for confidential treatment of the
information contained in Exhibit E to the FCC Form 175 application you
submitted for Auction No. 26. Specifically, you request non-disclosure
of the revenue information, submitted in support of your claim to \"very
small business\" status. You contend that because release of such
information could harm your competitive position in the auction, Exhibit
E should be withheld from the public in order to protect your company's
continuing interest in the privacy of its financial information.

We review requests for confidentiality and non-disclosure on a
case-by-case basis. Section 0.459 of the Commission\'s rules requires an
entity requesting confidential treatment to submit a statement of the
reasons for withholding the materials from inspection and of the facts
upon which those reasons are based. Mere conclusory or generalized
allegations cannot support a request for nondisclosure. Rather, the
submissions must show by a preponderance of the evidence that
nondisclosure is consistent with the provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552. Additionally, the other sections under
which you requested nondisclosure of the revenue information either do
not exist or do not apply.

We find that your request does not meet the requirements set forth in
Section 0.459 of the Commission\'s rules. Your statements that
disclosure of the financial information in Exhibit E may result in

## STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD

### CONCERNING NOTICE OF INQUIRY INTO HIGH-SPEED INTERNET SERVICE

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 charged this Commission with
encouraging the deployment of high-speed services while promoting a
vibrant, competitive free market. I am glad that in recent years we have
seen not only multiple providers of high-speed services, but that there
has been competition among different modes of providing such services
--- traditional wireline services, wireless services, cable modem
services, even satellite services. Our policy has placed a high priority
on new investment, competition, voluntary market-based initiatives
toward openness, and avoiding multiple conflicting forms of regulation.

Recent court opinions have categorized cable modem service in differing
manners, which brings home the need for a national framework for
treatment of such services. In addition, after two years of initial
development of high-speed Internet services by cable and other
providers, the time is right to assess the competitive development of
this market. Any policies concerning high-speed access should be decided
at the national level, because these issues, like the broadband networks
themselves, are national in scope. This inquiry is timely, in light of
the court cases, and the experience of the last two years.

I have strongly advocated a policy of regulatory restraint in the cable
modem services market. I have been patient in allowing the marketplace
time to develop, while monitoring it closely to assess its openness. It
is unclear, however, whether a marketplace solution will develop absent
some form of intervention. Through this inquiry, we need to determine
whether a regulatory response is appropriate to ensure that this
exciting new technology develops the open competition and innovation
that we cherish in the Internet.

**Statement of FCC Chairman Michael Powell on Senator McCain's**

**Telecommunications Ownership Diversification Initiative**

I applaud and welcome Senator John McCain\'s on-going and consistent
efforts to encourage and facilitate new entry, including women and
minorities, into the telecommunications industry.

Senator McCain has consistently shown great leadership in his commitment
to creating an incentive structure to promote greater inclusiveness in
our media and communications delivery sectors and I wholeheartedly
support this effort.

We must all look for new tools that will promote opportunity for new
entry into telecommunications businesses. This tax-based incentive
system, designed to provide such opportunity while avoiding some of the
problems of past programs, would be a welcome addition to the toolbox.
