Nominations of current CPB Chmn. Sharon Rockefeller, media consultant Karl Eller &
National Review editor Richard Brookhiser to CPB board are expected to sail through Senate
Commerce Committee next Tues. However, nomination of Helen Taylor of Richmond may be
held up because of concerns raised by her background file. Taylor belongs to several
racially-exclusive clubs and has contributed money to organizations such as Accuracy in Media
and Moral Majority which have criticized public broadcasters. In addition, she reportedly gave
money to Prince Edward School Foundation set up to get around school desegregation order in
1950s. Once okayed by committee, nominations will be sent to Senate for approval.

Sen. Nunn (D-Ga.) introduced 3-bill package "designed to halt the flow of American high
technology and defense secrets to the Soviet Union." He said hearings last year by Senate
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations "indicated that the Soviets are increasingly adept at
obtaining American technical knowhow, while all too often the U.S. response has been
inadequate to the challenge." He said bill would improve export controls by focusing on key
high-technology items. Under present system, he said, govt. "tries to control too many
commodities and thus fails to keep track of those products the Soviets desire most."

process last week, but the fourth—
Helen Marie Taylor-has been

When presidential nominee Tay-

copy of Goldwater's limited-edition
coffee-table photo book, "The Faces

major financial contributors to his
1964 presidential campaign, and she
took the opportunity to ask Goldwa-

Goldwater politely signed her

REMARKS
IN SUPPORT OF THE NOMINATION OF
MRS. HELEN MARIE TAYLOR FOR THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am pleased to support the nomination of
Helen Marie Taylor to a seat on the Board of Directors of the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
I'm sure you will note from her biography that Mrs. Taylor
brings outstanding qualifications to the CPB Board. Her pro-
fessional career as an actress has been long and varied. She
has participated in founding and promoting artistic and cultural
organizations all over the nation.
Mrs. Taylor has also been active for many years in politics
on the state, local and national levels. While I was Mayor
of Richmond she was one of the City's outstanding citizen
activists, aiding the City and the Council in finding productive
solutions to often difficult problems.
Some of the members of this Committee may know that I have
expressed doubts in the past about the mission of CPB. The
reporting of its grantee organizations may not be all everyone
wants it to, but its funding has been reexamined in light of
our current fiscal difficulties. Still, CPB will continue, and
2.
I believe that Helen Marie Taylor can bring the balance and
judgment to the board which will solve many of the problems that
the board has faced in recent years. I urge the Committee to
confirm her nomination.

STATEMENT OF CONGRESSMAN J. KENNETH ROBINSON OF VIRGINIA
I
TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE
ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE AND TRANSPORTATION, FEBRUARY 4, 1983
MR. ROBINSON. It is a pleasure for me to submit to this distinguished
Subcammittee a short statement in support of favorable consideration of the
nomination of Mrs. Helen Marie Taylor as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Subcommittee will conclude,
I am confident, that the President has made an outstanding selection.
It has been my privilege to be acquainted with the nominee over a period
of years through her civic and cultural activities and her residence in
Orange County, Virginia, which is part of the congressional district I am
privileged to represent. As to residence, Orange County has to acknowledge
that it must share its claim with the City of Richmond, where Mrs. Taylor
and her husband also maintain a home, and where she has a distinguished
record of community service, particularly in the fields of the arts, historic
preservation and education.
On the bases of education, professional experience and volunteer service,
it would be most difficult to find anyone with a more impressive balance of
qualifications for a position concerned with oversight of the program policies
and fund allocations of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
In the performing arts, the naminee has had varied experience at the
professional level as an actress, director, producer and teacher. She has been
a founding member of numerous organizations dedicated to the advancement of the
performing arts, and the promotion of citizen involvement in community concerns.
Mrs. Taylor is an articulate speaker who has been in continuing-demand as a
lecturer and as a spokesperson for causes ranging from the national defense
to the establishment of new civic and art centers and the preservation of buildings
and neighborhoods of outstanding historic or architectural interest.

Mrs. Taylor is an articulate speaker who has been in continuing demand as a

to the establishment of new civic and art centers and the preservation of buildings

In the performing arts, this remarkable naminee can offer a record of
professional accomplishment spanning the live theater, motion pictures and television.
In addition to the performing side, she has acquired through education and experience
a high level of competence in budgetary planning, management and fundraising.
A more detailed record of Mrs. Taylor's careers and volunteer interests
has been placed before the Subcommittee, so I will not take time to recite additional
distinctions. I will conclude by assuring the Subcommittee that the confirmation
of the President's nomination of Mrs. Helen Marie Taylor would bring to the Board
of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting a member who could be
counted on to give conscientious and effective attention to each and every problem-
financial, administrative or programmatic- with which the Board might be required
to deal.
Mrs. Helen Marie Taylor
Meadowfarm
Orange, Virginia 22960
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee:
Good morning. My name is Mrs. Helen Marie Taylor. I want
to thank you for this opportunity to appear here today as a nominee
to the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Being aware that you have rigorous schedules and heavy demands on
your time, I shall endeavor to present information about myself and
my thoughts on the nature, quality and direction of the C. P.B. as
briefly as possible.
Let me say at the outset that I am greatly honored to have been
nominated by President Reagan and grateful for having been recom-
mended for this post by many fine and generous people, a few of whom
are with me, and for many others who have submitted letters on my
behalf.
Senator Warner, may I thank you, most particularly, for your
kind introduction and for your escorting me here today.
I am deeply committed to the principles, purposes and potential
for public television and radio, and sincerely believe that the Corpor-
ation for Public Broadcasting has an important and continuing role to
play in the cultural development of our country.
All people who have a veneration for America, its great beauty
and resources, its free system of representative government under
our Constitution, who value a free market economy and individual
liberty, who cherish our vigorous on-going debates in ever-changing
times, can only be thankful for the public's broadcasting system.
One must surely wish that all aspects of our remarkable heritage
and our challenging times will be ever more fully and fairly re-
corded so that we, our children, and our children's children, may
become increasingly aware of our great good fortune to live in such
a splendid land. It is indeed "the" medium in which we may best
present and record all that is good, bad, beautiful, and vital in our
people, our culture, our national history.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting's three most signi-.
ficant contributions to date, in my judgement, have been:
1) Its crucial participation in encouraging and funding the
expansion of the technology that has made it possible for most parts
of our country to receive its programming;
2) The opportunity it presents for cultural, educational and
artistic diversity of exceptional quality and range; and
3) The continuing advantage it presents for the representation
and coverage of particular principles, points of view, talent and
ingenuity that are not necessarily accommodated by commercial
broadcast outlets.
The C.P.B. makes available to the American public, through its
Program Funding, a rich assortment of programs which, sometimes
because of that very unique quality, or because of their modest com-
mercial value, or controversial nature, would not otherwise be seen.
It serves as a vital counterweight to mediocrity and uniformity of
thought. And, as a neighbor of mine in Orange County, Virginia
recently observed, "P.B.S. is the last bastion of hope for those of
us who see the possibilities for television to educate, inform and
entertain."
More than twenty years ago, Newton Minnow described tele-
vision as a cultural wasteland. Thanks to the pioneering achieve-
ments of the C.P.B., I believe that measurable improvements have
been made in both the quality and intellectual integrity of television,
and that Mr. Minnow might now be pleasantly surprised at the pro-
gress that has been made.
Standing in agreement with many distinguished Americans who
have served on the Board of the C.P.B., I also subscribe to the view
that education, public affairs and children's programming should
continue to enjoy a prominent role in public broadcasting.
Through fair, objective and courageous reporting of local
and world events, we become more knowledgeable and informed,
as a people, about political, social and economic affairs that shape
our daily lives. In this regard, I am reminded of Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes' admonition that in the market place of ideas,
little is gained unless debate is free, robust and open. The Corpor-
ation for Public Broadcasting makes this possible. No less signifi-
cant, I might add, is the great potential for broader and deeper
education among our youth through children's programming. A
rising generation that is both enlightened and literate is the hope
of the future.
In my capacity, if appointed, as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, I would hope
that my educational background and lifelong commitment to the arts
will serve the needs and interests of the American public.
I was born in Waco, Texas where I spent my childhood and
was graduated from the local high school. I am the daughter and
grandaughter of lawyers and politicians. I attended Baylor University
in Waco and the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York
City before being graduated with honours from the Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art in England. I received my teacher's training,
with special studies in Architecture and Design, from the University
of London. I have served as an Associate Member of the Board of
Governors of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts for over twenty
years and was, for many years, a member and Chairman of the
RADA's American Auditions Board.
I was a founder of the Theatre Louisville in Kentucky, the
Shakespeare Theatre of Stratford, Connecticut, the John Fernald
Company of the Meadowbrook Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, and
a leading actress and promotions director for the Association of
Producing Artists Repertory Theatre Company.
I have been a producer, director, actress, teacher and
lecturer in all media -- the theatre, films, television, schools
and universities, and private and civic associations.
I have also served as an architectural critic and consultant
in the building of Arts Centers throughout the country. I served
as a member of the Board of the United States Institute for Theatre
Technology, and as the Institute's Communications and Public
Relations Chairman. I was a founder of the USITT's Journal and
helped establish professional guidelines for architecture and
theatre consultants. I was honored to serve on the Judges Panel
of the American Institute of Architects' Building Evaluation Com-
mittee and to be a featured speaker at the National A.I.A.'s
annual meetings on several occasions. For much of my adult life
I have also been involved, both professionally and as a private
citizen, in a broad spectrum of activities involved with civic
affairs, historic preservation and museum development. 1 cur-
rently serve as President of the James Monroe Memorial Foundation
and as a Regent for the James Monroe Law Office Museum and
Memorial Library.
- 5 -
For the past twenty years I have made my home in Richmond
and Orange, Virginia with my husband, Jaquelin E. Taylor, who is
a working farmer and private investor.
I am the mother of four sons. George Taylor Munroe, Ralph
Taylor Munroe, Jaquelin Pendleton Taylor and Howell Lewis Townshend
Dade Taylor who range in age from 36 to 12 years. I was previously
married, for twenty years, to George B. Munroe, presently Chairman
of the Board of Phelps Dodge Copper Corporation of New York City.
Mr. Chairman, this brief rendition of my background and my
support for public broadcasting concludes my statement. My dem-
onstrated interest in public affairs, as well as the details of my
extended involvement in theatre and the arts may be discerned from a
reading of the biographical materials on my life and career that are
now before you. Should you or other members of the Committee
have any questions about these materials, I shall do my best to
answer them as fully as I can. I feel that I am qualified to serve
on the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcast-
ing and shall work diligently to merit your trust if I am appointed.
It has been both a pleasure and an honor to appear before
this Committee and I look forward to working with you and all
those who are asociated, both directly and indirectly, with the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Thank you.

HEARINGS
BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE,
SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORATION
UNITED STATES SENATE
FEBRUARY 4, 1983
Senator Ernest F. Hollings:
Question: (1). What do you think of the programming on Public
Broadcasting?
Answer: (Mrs. Helen Marie Taylor)
Thanks to the pioneering achievements of the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting, I believe that measurable improvements
have been made in both the quality and intellectual integrity of its
programming since 1968.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting's three most significant
contributions to date, in my judgement, have been:
(1) Its crucial participation in encouraging and funding the
expansion of the technology that has made it possible for most
parts of our country to receive its programming;
(2) The opportunity it's programming presents for cultural,
educational and artistic diversity of exceptional quality and
range; and
(3) The continuing advantage it's programming presents for the
representation and coverage of particular principles, points of
view, talent and ingenuity that are not necessarily accommodated
by commercial broadcast outlets.
Senator Ernest F. Hollings:
Question: (2). As a director of the Board of the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting, what do you think your role
should be in deciding what types of programs should
be put on Public Broadcasting?
Answer: (Mrs. Helen Marie Taylor)
My role as a Director on the Board of the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting will be, in accordance with present policy,
one of stewardship and participation, in an overview capacity,
for the establishment and/or review of policies, priorities,
and procedures regarding programming.
Standing in agreement with those priorities currently
established by the C.P.B. Board, I subcribe to the view that
education, public affairs and childrens programming should continue
to enjoy a prominent role in public broadcasting and I will strongly
support these goals.
