pursuing policies that are often quite restrictive in order to develop their
own fledgling industries in this sector. Further, the less developed
countries are afraid that they are going to be left behind ... and they

about foreign communication policy also were at odds over the more
general question of how to coordinate policy. Resistance to State
Department efforts to expand Dougan's role and responsibilities, for

Chair Dante Fascell, however, supported State's efforts to take on this
leadership position. See 'Change and Chance at the Organizational
