You are a scary fellow, Mr. Hundt.  In your prepared remarks for
"Women in
Government Relations," you propose increasing Governmental
content regulation, in the name of protecting our Nation's youth.


I agree that much of the programming found on television is
abysmal -- geared to titilate, shock, and "out do" the
competition in stretching the bounds of decency.  There is
certainly a market for this type of programming, and it is the
duty of parents -- not the government -- to control access to it. 
One way of accomplishing this is by offering parents choices,
such as are promised by the so-called "V-Chip."  It is NOT the
role of government to raise our children or dictate our mores.

I find it ironic that you advocate additional regulation at a
time when you are busily closing field offices, lessening the
effectiveness of the Commission's enforcement program, and
practically eliminating the last bastion of direct public
contact.  Your position appears to be that the Commission's Rules
should be enforced in courts of law.  Apart from the fact that
our courts are already clogged, the average person would find it
difficult or impossible to seek legal remedies in matters that
should be clear.  Mr. Hundt, how can you profess to hear the
voice of the American people clearly, when you are severing those
lines of communication?

In summary, to move further into content regulation, while
eliminating other types of regulation and FCC enforcement of its
own regulations, makes no sense.

Very truly yours,

Bob Weller
