ton on the Appropriations Committee have always been able to raise some money on the Senate side but we have had some difficulty in the Congress bringing about an understanding as to the need of the money, and the whole thing is underfinancing, there is no question about it, and more money needs to come out.

There has been a lot of talk about how it should be done and I understand a task force was formed to come up with suggestions to the President and we have not had the suggestions yet. Of course, that runs into a very, very complicated ramification, too, as to how you are going to do this. It is easy to come up with these ideas but sometimes to put them into practice is another thing, especially in a competitive world that we live in.

Mr. HAAS. I know quite well the difficulties you face in helping us and I mention it not by way of complaining but by way of explaining why we have not done more and better than we have.

Senator PASTORE. I would hope that all of you gentlemen would take a good, hard look at that law, including Mr. Macy, and if you feel there are things that we should do or any recommendations that you should like to make we would welcome it. We are very much interested in this.

This was heralded in the world with a tremendous amount of electrifying publicity, you remember that, and we surely do not want this thing to die on the vine and I do not think the caliber of people who have come before us here are the kind of people who want to get on a sinking ship.

Mr. HAAS. May I say again, in closing, that we do have in mind reviewing the legislation which gave us birth so that built-in competitions and inefficiencies may be remedied.

Senator PASTORE. You will find us very receptive.

Do you come to us as a Democrat or as a Republican?

Mr. HAAS. I am a Democrat.

Senator PASTORE. Now, the next witness is Mr. Frank Schooley. We will submit his biography for the record.

STATEMENT OF FRANK SCHOOLEY

Mr. SCHOOLEY. Mr. Chairman, I think I can assure the Senators that I have observed the birth of the Corporation, the young Corporation of CPB, and I have noted the dedication of the members of the Board of Directors and of the staff.

I think much progress has been made in the 2-year period. I think the real challenge, however, really lies ahead of us, if we are to carry out the mandate prescribed in the act of 1967.

I am grateful for this opportunity of being here and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.

Senator PASTORE. And your political affiliation?

Mr. SCHOOLEY. Republican.

The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Chairman, at this point I would like to ask either Mr. Haas or both of them just one question.

When Congress created this Corporation we made it explicitly clear that you would be completely free of what we, for want of a better term, said Government control, and you gentlemen have served on the Board of Directors since the beginning, and could you just in one sentence tell us, has the Corporation been completely free? What has been your experience in this respect?

Mr. SCHOOLEY. Senator Magnuson, I think as a member of the Board and as an observing

The CHAIRMAN. I do not suggest we have come to any conclusions or heard anything to the contrary, but we wanted to get your word.

Mr. SCHOOLEY. I have noticed no attempt of any member of Congress or the Government or the administration to interfere in the operation of the Corporation. I think what remains-this is like the challenge of the future is some kind of long-range financing that will isolate the Corporation from the potential problems, the problems we have not run into, and hopefully never will.

The CHAIRMAN. Well, at this point, Mr. Chairman, it might be well to apprise the members, and particularly the new members that are going to be selected, the situation on the money.

The authorization bill, S. 3558, which was handled by the Senator from Rhode Island, in this committee, for the Corporation was passed in the Senate on May the 19th, and it is ready for floor action in the House. A rule has been granted for House action after the recess that ends September 9, the Labor Day recess. Now, it would not be possible to provide funds under this new authorization unless the House clears the bill and it becomes public law after you complete a conference which I do not think would take long.

Now, the budget request from the Bureau of Budget is for $15 million in direct appropriations with an additional $7.5 million in matching funds. That totals $22.5, John.

Mr. MACY. That is correct, sir.

The CHAIRMAN. And Mr. Macy, in the Senate hearings suggested $30 million in direct appropriations with an additional $5 million for matching funds or a total of $35 million, as between $22.5 and the $35 million suggested.

The Senate passed bill and the House reported bill-it is reported on the floor-is more in line with this request and I suspect from experience that we will be somewhere in between when we get through with this.

Senator PASTORE. I hope that the appropriation will match that authorization. That is your problem. You never have any trouble on authorization but we have a lot of trouble on the appropriations.

The CHAIRMAN. I thought it would be good to put it in the record. Senator PASTORE. Any further questions?

The CHAIRMAN. No.

Senator PASTORE. Our next witness is Mr. John Hay Whitney. We will place his biography in the record also.

STATEMENT OF JOHN HAY WHITNEY

Mr. WHITNEY. Mr. Chairman, I have no statement to make at this time. I would also like to thank Senator Javits and Senator Goodell for their very kind introduction and just to add that I have never approached any job or assignment with any more enthusiasm than I do for this work. That is particularly and especially to include being prisoner of war.

Senator PASTORE. And you came to us as a what?

Mr. WHITNEY. Republican.

Senator PASTORE. Any questions of Mr. Whitney? (No response.)

Senator PASTORE. The next one is Jack Wrather and I have a letter here from Senator Murphy of California and I would like to read it and place his biography in the record.

I regret that a previous commitment makes it impossible for me to be present today at the confirmation hearing of Mr. Jack Wrather who has been nominated by the President to the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

You already have Mr. Wrather's biographical data before you but I would like to add that I have known Jack Wrather for many years and cannot imagine anyone better qualified for such a post.

Mr. Wrather brings with him a wealth of experience in both the field of actual work task management and the production of the highest quality program material. He has achieved much in the area of civic endeavor and is dedicated to his country and fellow Americans. I cannot recommend him too highly.

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I have the pleasure to endorse this nomination and respectfully recommend Mr. Wrather's early confirmation as I am most confident that he will discharge his duties with the same excellence that has always exemplified his career.

With best wishes,

GEORGE MURPHY, Senator from California.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF J. D. WRATHER, JR.

Mr. J. D. Wrather, Jr., was born May 24, 1918, at Amarillo, Texas. He attended grammar school in Long Beach, California, moving to Dallas, Texas in 1930, and to Tyler, Texas soon thereafter. He lived in Tyler from 1931 to 1941, attending high school there. In 1939 Mr. Wrather received a B.A. degree from the University of Texas, with honors. He was a member of Phi Eta Sigma, honorary freshman fraternity, and of the honorary government fraternity Pi Sigma Alpha. In 1940, after a year of "roughnecking" on drilling rigs in the Texas oil fields, as a pipeline walker and finally as a "wild-catter", Mr. Wrather supervised the construction of a refinery for Overton Refining Company in Evansville, Indiana.

Construction was completed in 1940, and in the same year Jack Wrather accepted the presidency of the family oil company because of the illness of his father. In 1942 Mr. Wrather joined the United States Marine Corps and went through officer training at Quantico, Virginia. He was subsequently stationed in San Diego, California, from November 1942 until 1944. His executive experience in the Marine Corps began as Training Officer for Aviation Training Squadron 131, after which he advanced to becoming Executive Officer, and then Commanding Officer of this squadron. Mr. Wrather went overseas in 1944, as Commanding Officer of Headquarters Squadron of MAG-24, 1st Marine Air Wing. His combat service included Bougainville, Solomon Islands; Luzon, Philippine Islands; and Mindinao, Philippine Islands. He was awarded three combat stars, and participated in landings at Lingayen, Luzon, and Parang, Mindinao. Returning from overseas in October 1945, he was released from active duty in December with the rank of Captain. He retired from the Marine Corps with the rank of Major in 1950. Resuming his business career after the war, Mr. Wrather has since been active in a number of business enterprises. Until 1957, he was President of Wrather Petroleum Corporation, a company with headquarters in Dallas, producing and transporting petroleum in Texas. He is Managing Director and owner of "J. D. Wrather, Jr., Special Account". This account is an independent oil operation for the purpose of drilling for and producing oil, and for purchase and investment in minerals.

Since 1946, the J. D. Wrather, Jr., organization has drilled and has participated in the drilling of more than 300 exploratory and producing wells.

Diversification of Mr. Wrather's business interests began in 1946, when he became President of Jack Wrather Pictures, Inc., producers of motion pictures, with headquarters in Beverly Hills, California. Wrather Television Productions, Inc., of which he was President, was organized for television film activity and the company subsequently produced a television series sponsored by Proctor & Gamble. Between 1946 and 1955, Mr. Wrather produced seven feature motion pictures for Allied Artists, Eagle Lion, Warner Bros., and United Artists release.

In 1952, Mr. Wrather purchased KOTV, a CBS-TV affiliate in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for $2,000,000, and in the next few years added to his television interests by the purchase of KFMB-TV and AM, San Diego, California, and KERO-TV in Bakersfield, California, for a total of $4,250,000. In 1959, Mr. Wrather merged his television interests into Transcontinent Television Corporation, a company owning, in addition to Mr. Wrather's properties, TV and radio stations in Buffalo, New York; Kansas City, Missouri; and Scranton, Pennsylvania, in which corporation he became a major stockholder and a member of the Executive Committee. This company was sold in 1964 to Taft Broadcasting plus others. In 1954, Mr. Wrather purchased the television and radio property, "The Lone Ranger". In 1955, he constructed the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Park, which is a $30,000,000 property with 1000 rooms, and convention facilities. In 1956, Mr. Wrather acquired the "Lassie" television show, and "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon", another television property, in 1957 for a total of $4,500,000. The "Lassie" television show is produced as a Jack Wrather Production and begins its 17th year on the CBS network in the fall of 1970. Also, in 1957, he purchased the world's largest radio station, WNEW, New York City, for $3,500,000, and Muzak Corporation for $4,150,000. In 1958, with Associated Television Ltd., London, England, Mr. Wrather founded Independent Television Corporation, which purchased for more than $12,000,000 Television Programs of America. ITC became one of the leading companies in the production and distribution of television series.

In June 1961, Wrather Corporation became publicly owned. This company consists of the Disneyland Hotel, Muzak Corporation, "Lassie", "The Lone Ranger", and "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon". Jack Wrather is President and Chairman of the Board of Wrather Corporation.

Outside of corporate interests, Mr. Wrather personally is principal owner of the famed Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, California, L'Horizon Hotel in Palm Springs, oil interests in Texas and Oklahoma, and large ranching and agricultural acreage in Australia. He is a member of the Board of Directors of TelePrompTer Corporation. TelePrompTer is a prominent company in the CATV business.

Mr. Wrather was a founder of KCET, Channel 28, Los Angeles, an educational television station, and served for several years from its inception on the Executive Committee and on the Board of Directors.
