Summary:

Explores options to foster ethnic diversity among telecommunications business owners, focusing on revision and reintroduction of a tax program to provide tax incentives to current owners who sell their broadcast properties to minority-owned firms. Provides judicial analysis of racial classifications in broadcast ownership policies, in context of Supreme Court 1995 ruling that all Government race-based classifications must be narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling Government interest.
