[REDACTED] HAS ADVISED THAT A STUDY OF THE COST OF THIS b6 b7C MATTER REVEALS THAT LABOR COSTS IN COMPOSING WOULD RUN APPROXIMATELY SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS AND THE NEWS PRINT COST WOULD RUN APPROXIMATELY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. SHOULD THEY PUBLISH THIS AT THE PUBLIC SERVICE RATE, THE COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND AT THE REGULAR COMMERCIAL RATE, IT WOULD RUN APPROXI- MATELY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. HE HAS ADVISED THAT BY PROVIDING A PREPRINTED MAT, THE COMPOSITION COST COULD NOT BE ELIMINATED SINCE THEIR UNION CONTRACT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE COST BE PAID NONETHELESS.
