AT&T TO DROP ADS ATTACKING TELECOM BILL
South Dakota Republic Senator Larry Pressler, sponsor of telecommunications 
legislation that would eliminate regulatory barriers preventing local and 
long-distance phone companies and cable companies from competing against 
each other, has asked long-distance carrier AT&T to pull ads attacking the 
legislation, calling the ads misleading.  The Clinton Administration says 
the legislation would concentrate power in the media industry.  (New York 
Times 21 Oct 95 p17)
