Box 66 <br />Orono, MN 55323 1 <br />Dear Mayor Callahan and Council Members: <br />I was very unhappy that Congress voted overwhelmingly to approve <br />H.R. 3636, which has a negative effect on continuing regulation <br />of cable/future communications. Apparently our dedicated effort <br />to prove how devastating this bill would be, failed to swing a <br />vote our way, and the bill passed 431 to 4. Incidently, it <br />didn't help that the Chairman of the House Committee sent a two <br />page letter to all Congress members, stating that the bill met <br />with approval from local regulatory authority. <br />To further support my point, I have enclosed a copy of^ a memo <br />from Ann Higgins, who is stcff at the League of Cities. It <br />calls for an official letter from your city, to support S. 1822 <br />and retain local authority over cable, telephone and any other <br />future distributors of video programming/services. <br />I hope you can respond to both Senator(s) Durenberger and <br />Wellstone, as this could be before the United States Senate as <br />early as next week. I would also ask that a copy of this <br />correspondence be sent to the LMCC office. <br />Regards, <br />LAKE MINNETONKA COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION <br />r <br />James W.
