The Tobacco Institute called the announcement "an obvious threat to usurp the congression- al function," and said a ban would be arbitrary and extreme. Hyde told a news conference there would be only two things that might cause him to recon- sider a complete ban: The broadcasters could omit the ad- vertisments voluntarily, or the FCC might approve advertising of low-tar-low-nicotine cigaret- tes. He made clear, howev'er, the commission prefers a complete ban. The commission can take no final action until after June 30, when the law which requires health warnings on individual cigarette packages-while at the same time banning any other regulations-expires.
