I would like to commend Mr. Valenti for one of his best speeches yet on this subject. He has shown true leadership in his industry with his call for shared responsibility between families, the Government, and the entertainment industry in addressing the issue of television violence. In his latest speech, Mr. Valenti pointed out that the freedoms guaranteed by the first amendment carry with them an obligation to act socially responsible.
