   REPORT OF THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING FOR FISCAL YEAR 
                1995--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 158

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation.

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (47 
U.S.C. 396(i)), I transmit herewith the Annual Report of the 
Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for Fiscal Year 1995 and the 
Inventory of the Federal Funds Distributed to Public Telecommunications 
Entities by Federal Departments and Agencies: Fiscal Year 1995.
  Since 1967, when the Congress created the Corporation, CPB has 
overseen the growth and development of quality services for millions of 
Americans.
  This year's report highlights ways the Corporation has helped 
millions of American families and children gain new learning 
opportunities through technology. At a time when technology is 
advancing at a pace that is as daunting as it is exhilarating, it is 
crucial for all of us to work together to understand and take advantage 
of these changes.
  By continuing to broadcast programs that explore the challenging 
issues of our time, by working with local communities and schools to 
introduce more and more children to computers and the Internet, in 
short, by honoring its commitment to enriching the American spirit, the 
Corporation is preparing all of us for the 21st century.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 9, 1996.
