TEXT:
Ron:
In the memo for the VP's lunch with POTUS on Monday, I have focused 
exclusively on CFR issues and particularly free or reduced cost TV. The 
attached from Paul suggests the MCCain/Burns amendment may present an even 
larger target for public remarks. Do you want to wade into the battle? Do 
we have an opportunity to do so? CLearly the VP has been a leader on this 
larger issue of corporate responsiblity obligations on the part of those 
who have broadcast rights for some time, and it does fit nicely with "o
pportunity/responsibility" values we have suggested for individuals and 
company's in other settings.

Here are the requests we asked for from yesterday's meeting:

1. A VP event on campaign finance reform.  Since it is possible that the 
McCain-Burns amendment may go much further than free tv and restrict the 
FCC from doing any rulemakings on broadcaster public interest, the speech 
could focus on corporate responsibility/welfare as well as CFR.  (Morley 
can you work on this?)

2. Lining up Daschle and getting a whip count (Peter is already working on 
this).

3. Talking to Ed Boards (Michael is working this).

4. Get to Byrd.  We may be able to convince Byrd that using the 
appropriation as a vehicle to restrict the FCC is bad congressional 
oversight. (Peter).

5. Torricelli Letter.  Apparently Torricelli may be working on a letter.  
Peter, if you want I can work with his staff on the letter.

The bad news of the day -- apparently McCain and Burns are going to add 
the amendment in committee instead of on the floor.  This would take place 
next week.  Therefore the timeline has advanced considerably.
