to call their local National Public Radio or American Public Radio
station to request carriage of our 12/12 broadcast but just in case
any of you happen to be station managers or program directors:

RE: 12/5 ComputerTalk - Clinton's FCC

        TOPIC: COMMUNICATIONS & INFORMATION POLICY UNDER CLINTON
        
        HOST: Harry Goodman

        CONFIRMED GUESTS:
        PARTRICIA GLASS SCHUMAN
        American Library Association - Immediate Past President

        MARC ROTENBERG

        Editor-At-Large, MacWeek Magazine

        Last Friday's appointment of Ronald Plesser, a key 
lobbyist for the Direct Marketing Association and the 
Information Industry Association, to Clinton's Science & 
Technology transition team raises serious questions about the 
direction of communications and information policy under the 
incoming administration.  Plesser is to oversee a study group 
examining the Federal Communications Commission.
        Various public interest groups, including the Taxpayer 
Asset Project and Computer Professionals for Social 
Responsibility, have taken significant exception to the 
appointment. They believe Plesser's lobbying activities on 
behalf of private sector companies will unfairly slant 
forthcoming policy and personnel choices.
        In this Saturday's (12/12) edition of _Your Expanding 
InfoSphere: CommonSense ComputerTalk_ we'll explore not only 
the controversey surrounding recent appointments but the 
opportunity to expand availability of lowcost communications 
and information services in the next few years.

LIVE call-ins will be accepted from approx 1530-1550 ET via 
show line: 800/231-8255.

SATURDAY FEATURE:

        PLANNING HOLIDAY GIFT SELECTIONS (3) for both current and

MacWeek Magazine, shares his holiday gift-giving suggestions --
from full systems to stocking stuffers.
