Abstract	This statement, prompted by an increasing awareness of the critical role played by the electronic media in determining the shape of the economy and the society, makes several recommendations: research, analysis, and experimentation during a period of changing economic and regulatory policies; gradual diminishing of government regulation and increase of competition among technologies; establishment of goals and specific objectives to determine the media's place in a national communications system and to provide the public with a yardstick for measuring performance; and the requirement for greater public participation in shaping the communications system. Contents are organized under the following topics: introduction and summary of recommendations, the public responsibilities of commercial broadcasting, a policy for public broadcasting, the potential of cable, and organizing for change. Also included are memoranda of comment, reservation, or dissent; appendixes (a brief regulatory history of cable television and a table charting the cable regulations in the states); and the objectives of the committee for economic development.
