		The final report of the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography (sometimes called The Meese Report for Attorney General Edwin Meese) is the result of a comprehensive investigation into pornography ordered by President Ronald Reagan.

	Politics and Pornography
		Two anti-pornography ministers on the commission staged their own public hearings outside of Washington; and at one of the commission's regular sessions a young radical called the project a "blatant McCarthyesque witchhunt," and threw a whipped-cream pie in the face of his questioner ("Pornography and Politics").
		In their dissenting report, two members of the Commission noted that "visual materials presented to the commissioners were heavily skewed toward the exceptionally violent and degrading," which may have contributed to the impression of the prevalence of such materials.
		The Meese Commission's concentration on sexual materials, despite overwhelming evidence that violence is the main source of harm, has been compared to "a physician who examines a patient complaining of a cold and, during the course of a physical examination, discovers the patient is also suffering from cancer.

		Moreover, the National Poplar Commission was, it seems, created in 1947 as a result of the statutory requirement that every country with membership of the International Poplar Commission - an august body that is part of the UN's food and agriculture organisation - must establish its own National Poplar Commission.

		Meese, of course, was the 75th attorney general of the United States, occupying that position during most of Ronald Reagan's second term.
		In May of 1985, Meese named the 11 members of the Commission, whom he clearly believed were all tried and true censors who shared Meese's fanatical, fundamentalist Religious Right philosophy.
		Meese was one of those that spearheaded a part of this federalization craze which he now calls "a troubling picture with far-reaching consequences" and with respect to obscenity laws - the only crime which necessarily is defined by local community standards!

		During the Nixon administration, a federal commission studied obscenity and determined there was no conclusive proof that obscenity produced any of the evils usually attributed to it.
		Recently, the Meese Commission did conclude there was a nexus between obscenity and certain evils.
		They point to the fact that the Meese Commission was not commissioned to determine if there was a link but was commissioned to find a link between obscenity and evil then sought the evidence it felt would prove that link.

		The Commission was charged with understanding "the effect of obscenity and pornography upon the public and particularly minors, and its relationship to crime and other antisocial behaviors (U.S. Commission, 1970: 1)." After two years of study and testimony, the Commission concluded that pornography had no discernibly harmful effects on society:
		The Commission cannot conclude that exposure to erotic materials is a factor in the causation of sex crime or sex delinquency.
		In fact, the Commission made the argument that pornography likely had a cathartic effect for citizens, pointing out that the majority of sex offenders surveyed had come from sexually repressive homes where pornography was not available.

		After spending a year collecting garbage, Attorney General Edwin Meese's Commission on Pornography released its final report in July and was applauded by reactionary forces throughout the country -- as well as by an influential wing of feminist activists.
		The Meese Commission report has to be viewed in the context of the generalized attack on the working class that the capitalists have been waging since the early 1970s.
		Dworkin and MacKinnon, after enthusing over the report's endorsement of their formula, admitted, "The Commission's report is flawed, however, by recommending extension and escalated enforcement of obscenity laws." But when over half of the report's 92 recommendations involve stricter obscenity laws, there's more than a "flaw" at stake.

		The Commission's constitutional expert, Frederick Schauer, a professor of law at the University of Michigan, takes the position that pornography is not protected by the First Amendment since it is a form of sexual activity, not speech.
		The evidence compiled by the Commission is embarrassingly biased and lightweight, and eventually led three of the women--Levine, Becker, and Tilton-Durfee--to write individual statements that dissent from many of the Commission's findings.
		The Commission made skillful use of a vague and ever broader definition of "child pornography" to smear material that depicts and is intended only for the use of adults.

		Upon receipt of a complaint, the FCC preliminarily screens it, both to determine whether enough information is provided (identification of the broadcaster, date and time of the broadcast, and a tape or transcript of the allegedly offending item), whether the broadcast was during the “safe harbor” times and whether it might be “indecent”.
