Statement by Press Secretary Fitzwater on the Veto of the Cable 
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992
October 5, 1992

    We stood for lower cable bills for the consumer through increased 
competition. This is an important principle. We genuinely believe that 
our approach would be a better way to increase the variety of services 
available to the consumer at lower prices. We now call on the House of 
Representatives to support the American consumer and sustain the 
President's veto.

                    Note: S. 12, which passed over the President's veto 
                        on October 5, was assigned Public Law No. 102-
                        385.
