result in a basis of charge to its cus-

tomers that is just and reasonable

without discrimination?

T. Schafer approved House Bill No.

lay services program is funded by an

access line surcharge paid by the

customers of local exchange com-

panies and radio communications

The relay services program is ad-

ministered by the Information Tech-
