TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 18--UNITED STATES INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
SUBCHAPTER V-A--RADIO BROADCASTING TO CUBA
Sec. 1465. Congressional findings and declaration of purposes
The Congress finds and declares--
(1) that it is the policy of the United States to support the
right of the people of Cuba to seek, receive, and impart information
and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers, in
accordance with article 19 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
(2) that, consonant with this policy, radio broadcasting to Cuba
may be effective in furthering the open communication of accurate
information and ideas to the people of Cuba, in particular
information about Cuba;
(3) that such broadcasting to Cuba, operated in a manner not
inconsistent with the broad foreign policy of the United States and
in accordance with high professional standards, would be in the
national interest; and
(4) that the Voice of America already broadcasts to Cuba
information that represents America, not any single segment of
American society, and includes a balanced and comprehensive
projection of significant American thought and institutions but that
there is a need for broadcasts to Cuba which provide news,
commentary and other information about events in Cuba and elsewhere
to promote the cause of freedom in Cuba.
