CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

To the Congress of the United States:

In accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (47 U.S.C.

396(i)), I transmit herewith the Annual

Report of the Corporation for Public

Broadcasting (CPB) for Fiscal Year 1994

and the Inventory of the Federal Funds

Distributed to Public Telecommunications Entities by Federal Departments and Agencies: Fiscal Year 1994.

Since 1967, when the Congress created

the Corporation, CPB has overseen the

growth and development of quality

services for millions of Americans.

This year’s report, entitled ‘‘American Stories,’’ is a departure from previous reports. It profiles people whose

lives have been dramatically improved

by public broadcasting in their local

communities. The results are timely,

lively, and intellectually provocative.

In short, they’re much like public

broadcasting.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON.

together with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on

Commerce.
