Sangamon Valley Television Corp. v. United States

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The petition for writ of certiorari is' granted. In view of the representations in the Solicitor General’s brief on pages 7 and 8, concerning testimony given before the Subcommittee of Legislative Oversight of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce subsequent to the decision by the Court of Appeals in this case, the *50judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for such action as it may deem appropriate.

Dissenting Opinion

Mr. Justice Clark and Mr. Justice Harlan

dissent in the above cases.* The matters referred to by the Court were not presented in the Court of Appeals and are not presented by these petitions. Agreeing with the Solicitor General that denial of the petitions for writs of certiorari would not foreclose appropriate consideration thereof by the Court of Appeals, we see no reason for vacating the Court of Appeals’ judgments and, therefore, dissent from this disposition of the matter by the Court.

[Note: This dissent applies also to No. 242, WIRL Television Corp. v. United States et al., post, p. 51.]
