The committee met at 2:35 p.m. in room 5110, New Senate Office Building,Hon. John O.Pastore, presiding. Present: Senators Pastore, Magnuson (chairman of the committee), Baker,and Goodell. Senator PASTORE. Having passed by 5 minutes the hour of 2:30, I think we can proceed. I have a very short opening statement. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR PASTORE Senator PASTORE. Today the committee considers the nomination of Mr. Rudolph A. Peterson to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Communications Satellite Corp., and the nominations of Mr. John Hay Whitney,Mr. Jack Wrather,Mr. Saul Haas, Mr. Frank Schooley, and Mr. Tom Moore to be members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Two of the gentlemen—Mr. Haas and Mr. Schooley—are reappointments, both having served with distinction on the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting since its creation. During the course of this hearing, I would hope that they will give the committee their assessment of the Corporation's progress and future plans, or submit your views for in- clusion in the record at a later date. The Communications Satellite Corp. was created by the Communica- tions Satellite Act of 1962,and the Corporation was incorporated under District of Columbia law on February 1,1963. Under the provisions of that act three of the 15-member Board of Directors of the Corporation are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Mr. Peterson has been appointed to the Board of Directors by the President to succeed Mr. William Hagerty. The advances in communications technology in the post-World War II era have been nothing short of stupendous, and none is greater than the ability to communicate via satellite. From the beginning the United States, through its chosen instru- ment in the international field—the Communications Satellite Corp.— has been the leading developer and user of this new technology—all countries of the world have been its beneficiaries, however. (1) 2 Currently the United States and other member nations of the Inter- national Telecommunications Satellite Consortium are meeting in a plenipotentiary conference to adopt definitive arrangements for a global satellite system. I have repeatedly urged that the United States not. give away its birthright in these negotiations, and I mention it again today not only to emphasize my concern, but to impress its im- portance on Mr. Peterson and all members of the board of directors of the corporation. Despite our leadership in international satellite communications, a domestic satellite system for the United States is still not a reality. The reasons, of course, are not technological, they have to do with matters of policy. Nevertheless, our failure to have such a system is a loss to the _American people. Recently the FTC has indicated that it is prepared to process appli- cations for domestic satellite systems and I would hope that soon the people of our country will have the benefits of a domestic system. No less important, and in its own way just as innovative, is the Cor- poration for Public Broadcasting created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. The corporation is a federally chartered, independent, nonprofit corporation whose mandate is to encourage and facilitate the expansion and development of noncommercial broadcasting and pro- gram diversity in that medium. The board of directors consists of 15 members, appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. Not more than eight may be members of the same political party. All are distinguished Americans, from the business, broadcast, and educational sectors of our society. And,I must say, the nominees before us today are in that same illustrious mold. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting—its directors and officers, and the men and women who have devoted their time and talent to its operation—have illustrated once again that American talent and inge- nuity, if given the necessary, support and encouragement, cannot only mirror the ideal but achieve it. The potential of public broadcasting is, of course, far from being realized. Essential to its full development is a plan for long-range financing. This committee has urged this administration and its prede- cessor to submit such a plan. Again—just as with our failure to develop a domestic satellite system—the American people are the losers when we fail to utilize our potential. I again wish to express my hope that during the course of these hear- ings all of the nominees will feel at liberty to express their views and anyideas or opinions they might have. Mr. Rudolph Peterson will be the first one we will call upon and then all the nominees of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in successive order. Mr.Peterson, first of all, we welcome you to this hearing. STATEMENT OF RUDOLPH A. PETERSON Mr.PETERSON. Thank you,sir. Senator PASTORE. We congratulate the President of the United States for the wisdom and the judgment that he has displayed in choosing you. You are an illustrious man of tremendous renown in 3 the banking community and we know, that is the members of this committee know,that you will render distinguished service to this new public service. Mr.PETERSON. Thank you. Senator PASTURE. We have your biography which we will place in the record which is a very imposing one. (The biographical sketch follows:) BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF RUDOLPH A. PETERSON • When Rudolph A. Peterson was born, December 6, 1904, Bank of America was seven weeks old, and had on the books in its single office in San Francisco's North Beach section only $68,761 in deposits.

  • City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings
    282 THEME: POST-WORLD WAR II MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (1945-1969) Overview This theme explores the design and construction of mid-20th century multi-family residences in Palm Springs, from the immediate postwar period through 1969. While the emphasis in residential construction in Palm Springs following the war was decidedly in favor of single- family homes, a number of apartment buildings were constructed in the immediate postwar period. Apartments were typically found on Palm Canyon Drive, Indian Canyon Drive, Arenas Road, and Tamarisk Road. Significant architects and designers associated with multi-family residential development from this period include Clark & Frey, A. Quincy Jones, Wexler & Harrison, William Krisel, Paul Thoryk, Hai Tan, H.W. Burns, and many others. Developers include Rossmoor Corporation, Phillip Short and Associates, William Bone, and Jack and Richard Weiss. As a result of increased demand for housing, post-World War II multi-family residential development in Palm Springs took a variety of forms including garden apartments, large low-rise multi-building communities (including early condominium projects), split-level attached townhomes, and attached and semi-attached residences in clusters as small as two and as many as eight. In virtually every configuration, the focus of the design was around the pool (or pools as the scale of the developments increased). A rare example of wartime multi-family housing in Palm Springs is Bel Vista (1945-47, Clark & Frey). Throughout the country, wartime housing projects were invariably the only building projects not stalled by the onset of World War II. Bordered by E. Chia Road on the north, Sunrise Way on the east, Tachevah Drive on the south, and N.
