Fight For Public Broadcasting

On Thursday, June 23, 2005 the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Obey-Leach-Lowey amendment by a final vote of 284 to 140. Eighty-seven Republicans joined 196 Democrats and one Independent in voting for the amendment, which restores $100 million previously cut from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Fiscal 2006 appropriation. House Members reported they heard from millions of public radio and television supporters from all over the country urging them to restore critical funding for CPB, whose Community Service Grants help local stations pay programming costs.

While the amendment approved yesterday restores CPB's appropriation to the full $400 million which had been advance-appropriated two years ago, it did not restore funds for public broadcasting’s digital transition, for renewal and replacement of public television’s satellite interconnection system, and for early learning initiatives such as Ready to Learn.

(Yesterday also brought darker news in the fight for public broadcasting. The Republican-dominated board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) hired a former Republican National Committee chair as the next president, injecting partisanship into the very organization designed to shield public broadcasting from political meddling. This is only the latest effort by White House ally and CPB board chair Kenneth Tomlinson to remake public broadcasting as a partisan mouthpiece.)

Planet trio

June 23-29 – Planet trio. The three planets that will cluster to within 5º of each other, low in the west-northwest evening twilight are Venus (magnitude –3.9), Saturn (+0.2) and Mercury (-0.2). Between June 23 and 29, these three will fit within a circle measuring just 5º across, the smallest circle (1.4º) occurring on June 26. As such, their rapidly changing night-to-night positions relative to one another should be most fascinating to watch. Individual conjunctions include Venus and Saturn (1.3º on June 25), Mercury and Saturn (1.4º on June 26), and Mercury and Venus (a mere 0.1º on June 27). A drawback for observers will be that these three planets will be visible for at best for only about an hour after sundown before they start getting too low to the horizon to be readily observable. Also during this time frame, take note of the "Twin Stars," Pollux (+1.2) and Castor (+1.6) of Gemini, which will be positioned roughly 6 to 10º above and to the right (west-northwest) of the trio
