                               RESOLUTION


 
To express the sense of the House of Representatives that the Chairman 
     of the Federal Communications Commission take certain action.

Whereas the United States Government is in the process of establishing a 
        terrestrial broadcast standard for high definition television;
Whereas superior digitalized systems at laboratories in the United States have 
        given our country the clear and unconditional lead in worldwide 
        technology for high definition television;
Whereas it is necessary for the United States to remain competitive in the 
        development and commercial application of cutting edge technologies, 
        such as high definition television, video display terminals, and 
        computers if the country is to elevate its standard of living and 
        compete successfully in the global economy; and
Whereas the United States must attempt to build a strong domestic manufacturing 
        economy featuring high technology products, such as high definition 
        television transmission systems: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Federal Communications Commission should consider domestic 
employment as a factor in its selection of a standard for high 
definition television, particularly in the event competing systems are 
technologically equivalent.
