 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the Federal Communications Commission's telecommunications access-charge plan scheduled to take effect January 1, 1984, should be delayed for one year; (2) the Commission should require interim agreements between local telephone companies and long-distance carriers until legislation is enacted which addresses the issues relating to such plan and the restructuring of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) and its affiliates; (3) such agreements should reflect the new service areas and the new relationship between AT&T and local telephone companies and should maintain the categorization and allocation of costs in effect on December 20, 1982; and (4) House and Senate committees should act expeditiously to bring comprehensive legislation addressing all major telecommunications issues before the House and Senate.
