The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:30 a.m., in room 2226, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Robert W. Kastenmeier [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. Present: Representatives Kastenmeier, Danielson, Drinan, Badillo, Pattison, Railsback, and Wiggins. Also present: Herbert Fuchs, counsel, and Thomas E. Mooney, associate counsel. Mr. KASTENMEIER. The committee will come to order for the purpose of continuing our hearings on matters related to copyright revision. I will encourage both the members of the committee and the witnesses, particularly in colloquies, to be as concise as possible. We are confronted with the fact the House will be in session at 10 o'clock, and undoubtedly there will be interruptions this morning. So that we can continue in an orderly fashion and get the substance of the testimony, I will encourage the colloquies to be as brief as possible. This morning during the first segment of the hearing, the committee would like to hear about the issue involving news archives. There are two witnesses present who will address themselves to that question. First, I would like to call Mr. Robert Evans, who is vice president and general counsel of Columbia Broadcasting, on the question of the news archives. You are welcome, as you were 10 years ago. Will you commence. [The prepared statement of Mr. Robert V. Evans follows:] STATEMENT OF ROBERT V. EVANS, VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL, CBS INC. My name is Robert Evans. I am Vice President and General Counsel of CBS. I appear today to oppose those provisions of section 108, namely subsection (f) (4) and subsection (h), which, in our opinion, discriminate unfairly against owners of "audiovisual news programs" by making their rights inferior to the rights of the owners of other copyrighted works. Moreover, the problem addressed by these unusual provisions is not one that requires Congressional action because it is being resolved by private initiative. Section 108 deals with limited reproduction and distribution rights for libraries and archives. Subsection (f) (4) provides that "Nothing in this section-shall be construed to limit the reproduction and distribution of a limited number of copies and excerpts by a library or archives of an audiovisual news program ***." Subsection (h) tracks the language I have just quoted-for the purpose of making clear that, although musical, pictorial, graphic and sculptural worksas well as motion pictures and other audiovisual works-are specifically excluded from the reproduction and distribution rights granted in section 108, audiovisual works dealing with news are not so excluded.
