Re: (redacted)
Dear Mr. Scanlon:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation yesterday regarding further information on the Section 7A(c)(6) exemption of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, I am enclosing a copy of Section 221 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
As we discussed and as indicated in the earlier submitted index, (redacted) Company (redacted) filed an application pursuant to Section 221 of the Communications Act of 1934 to acquire certain property and telecommunications facilities in the states (redacted) from Telephone Company with the Federal Communications Commission on February 28, 1986. Section 221 of the Communications Act specifically provides that if the Federal Communications Commission finds that ...the proposed consolidation, acquisition, or control will be of advantage to the persons to whom service is to be rendered and in the public interest, it shall certify to that effect; and thereupon any Act or Acts of Congress making the proposed transaction unlawful shall not apply.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I may be of any further assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
(redacted).
(redacted)
Enclosure
