THE FEDERAL-STATE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE

THE FEDERAL-STATE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED TO FORM A BASIS FOR A FEDERAL- STATE PARTNERSHIP IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADEQUATE TELECOMMUNICATIONS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MODERN GOVERNMENT- FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL. THE DEMANDS FOR MORE ADEQUATE COMMUNICATIONS THROUGHOUT THE NATION ARE EVIDENT IN SUCH AREAS AS LAW ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION, AIR AND WATER POLLUTION, HEALTH, WELFARE, TRANSPORTATION, SCIENCE, POVERTY, CIVIL RIGHTS, PUBLIC INFORMATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PROGRAMS ANALYSIS AND CONTROL, NATIONAL DEFENSE, SECURITY, AND THE NATION'S ECONOMIC GROWTH. ADVANCES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY ARE SEEN IN COMPUTER-COMMUNICATION NETWORKS, IN COMMUNICATION SATELLITE SYSTEMS, AND OTHER MEANS. THE PROSPECT IS SEEN OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS CENTERS IN THE HOME AND OFFICE. BUSINESS MAY BE TRANSACTED FROM HOMES AND OFFICES BY VIDEO-PHONE. NO MEANS OF PUBLIC AND FORMAL EDUCATION MAY BE CONDUCTED THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS. INCREASED EMPHASIS IS BEING PLACED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS.
