   purchase of, reasonable amounts of time for the use of a broadcasting
   station by a legally qualified candidate for Federal elective office on
   behalf of his candidacy.

   (b) Weekend access. For purposes of providing reasonable access, a
   licensee shall make its facilities available for use by federal

   discriminate between candidates with regard to weekend access.
