  Bidding to Resume in FC   C Spectrum Auctions 
  January 16, 1995
                                   
  Due to the snow storm that hit Washington, D.C. and other east coast cities, the FCC has
  suspended all spectrum auctions until Tuesday, January 16, 1996.  Road conditions continue
  to make it difficult for government workers and bidders participating in the auctions to
  reach their places of work.  The auctions will therefore resume on January 16, 1996.  The
  daily schedule for the week of January 16 - 19, 1996, is as follows:
