Abstract	This report on a hearing on legislation to authorize an increased appropriation for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for fiscal years 1985 and 1986 contains an introductory statement by Timothy E. Wirth, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications, Consumer Protection, and Finance; the text of the bill; a summary of a prepared statement and the full text of the statement by David J. Markey, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information; material submitted for the record by the Commerce Department; a letter from Peter M. Fannon, the acting president of the National Association of Public Television Stations; and a transcript of the discussion held at the meeting. Both of the statements presented provide descriptions of the five basic programs of the NTIA: (1) it serves as the executive agency for developing and presenting communication and information policy; (2) it is responsible for managing the federal government's own use of the radio frequency spectrum; (3) NTIA's Institute for Telecommunications Sciences (ITS) in Boulder, Colorado, conducts communications research and policy support activities; (4) it monitors and participates in international telecommunications activities; and (5) the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP) provides matching capital grants to extend the reach of public telecommunications.
