In authorizing the performance of technical and other services

qualified private American individuals and agencies and such

qualified individuals and agencies are available for the

performance of such services; (2) that if such services are

rendered by a Government agency, they shall demonstrate the

technical accomplishments of the United States, such services being

of an advisory, investigative, or instructional nature, or a

demonstration of a technical process; (3) that such services shall

not include the construction of public works or the supervision of

the construction of public works, and that, under authority of this

chapter, a Government agency shall render engineering services

related to public works only when the Secretary shall determine

that the national interest demands the rendering of such services

by a Government agency, but this policy shall not be interpreted to

preclude the assignment of individual specialists as advisers to

other governments as provided under subchapter III of this chapter,

together with such incidental assistance as may be necessary for

the accomplishment of their individual assignments.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 8 of 1953, prepared

in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and

providing for the reorganization of foreign information functions.

My reasons for proposing this plan are stated in another message

transmitted to the Congress today.

After investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 8 of 1953 is

necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in

section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended. I have

also found and hereby declare that it is necessary to include in

the accompanying reorganization plan, by reason of reorganizations

made thereby, provisions for the appointment and compensation of

officers specified in section 1 of the plan. The rates of

compensation fixed for these officers are, respectively, those

which I have found to prevail in respect of comparable officers in

the executive branch of the Government.

I expect that the improved organizational arrangement provided

for in Reorganization Plan No. 8 of 1953 will lead to substantial

economies and significantly improved effectiveness of

administration. It is not practicable, however, to itemize at this

time the reductions in expenditures which will probably be brought

about by the taking effect of the reorganizations included in the

reorganization plan.

this title.]

[Pursuant to Ex. Ord. No. 12048, set out below, this Reorg. Plan

is effective July 1, 1978.]

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1977 to

consolidate certain international communication, educational and

cultural, and broadcasting activities of the United States

Government. I am acting under the authority vested in me by the

Reorganization Act, chapter 9 of title 5 of the United States Code.

I am also acting pursuant to section 501 of the Foreign Relations

Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1978 (Public Law 95-105), which

provides that my recommendations for reorganizing these activities

be transmitted by October 31, 1977.

This reorganization will consolidate into a new agency, to be

known as the Agency for International Communication, the functions

now exercised by the State Department's Bureau of Educational and

Cultural Affairs and the United States Information Agency.

The principal aspects of this proposal are:

- The new agency will take over USIA's international

communications programs (including the Voice of America) and

the international educational and cultural exchange activities

now conducted by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural

Affairs.

- The agency's Director will be the principal advisor on

international information and exchange activities to the

President, the National Security Council, and the Secretary of

State. Under the direction of the Secretary of State, the

Director will have primary responsibility within the

Government for the conduct of such activities. The Director,

the Deputy Director and the Associate Directors of the new

agency will be confirmed by the Senate.

- The two commissions that now advise USIA and the Bureau of

Educational and Cultural Affairs will be combined into a

single seven-member commission. Members of this nonpartisan

commission will be chosen from fields related to the agency's

mission. The commissioners will be appointed by the President

and confirmed by the Senate.

The purpose of this reorganization is to broaden our

informational, educational and cultural intercourse with the world,

since this is the major means by which our government can inform

others about our country, and inform ourselves about the rest of

the world.

The new Agency for International Communication will play a

central role in building these two-way bridges of understanding

between our people and the other peoples of the world. Only by

knowing and understanding each other's experiences can we find

common ground on which we can examine and resolve our differences.

The new agency will have two distinct but related goals:

To tell the world about our society and policies - in

particular our commitment to cultural diversity and individual

liberty.

To tell ourselves about the world, so as to enrich our own

culture as well as to give us the understanding to deal

effectively with problems among nations.

As the world becomes more and more interdependent, such mutual

understanding becomes increasingly vital. The aim of this

reorganization, therefore, is a more effective dialogue among

peoples of the earth. Americans - mostly immigrants or the

descendants of immigrants - are particularly well suited to enter

into such an undertaking. We have already learned much from those

who have brought differing values, perspectives and experiences to

our shores. And we must continue to learn.

Thus the new agency will lay heavy emphasis on listening to

others, so as to learn something of their motivations and

aspirations, their histories and cultures.

Several principles guided me in shaping this reorganization plan.

Among the most important were:

- Maintaining the integrity of the educational and cultural

exchange programs is imperative. To this end, the plan retains

the Board of Foreign Scholarships, whose strong leadership has

done so much to insure the high quality of the educational

exchange program. In addition, I intend to nominate an

Associate Director who will be responsible for the

administration and supervision of educational and cultural

functions consolidated in the new Agency. The responsibilities

presently exercised by the Department of State in relation to

the Center for Technical and Cultural Interchange Between East

and West, Inc., will be transferred to the new agency without

alteration.

- Keeping the Voice of America's news gathering and reporting

functions independent and objective. The Voice's charter,

enacted into law in 1976, provides that "VOA news will be

accurate, objective, and comprehensive"; that VOA will

"present a balanced and comprehensive projection of

significant American thought and institutions"; and that VOA

will present U.S. policies "clearly and effectively, and will

also present responsible discussion and opinion on these

policies." Under this Administration, VOA will be solely

responsible for the content of news broadcasts - for there is

no more valued coin than candor in the international

marketplace of ideas. I also plan to nominate an Associate

Director who will be responsible for the administration and

supervision of the Voice of America.

- The new agency's activities must be straightforward, open,

candid, balanced, and representative. They will not be given

over to the advancement of the views of any one group, any one

party or any one Administration. The agency must not operate

in a covert, manipulative, or propagandistic way.

- Rights of U.S. Information Agency and State Department

employees must be respected. In the new agency, their career

achievements will be recognized and the best possible use made

of their professional skills and abilities.

The Director of the new agency will assess and advise on the

impact on worldwide public opinion of American foreign policy

decisions. The Agency will coordinate the international

information, educational, cultural and exchange programs conducted

by the U.S. Government and will be a governmental focal point for

private U.S. international exchange programs. It will also play a

leading role within the U.S. Government in our efforts to remove

barriers to the international exchange of ideas and information.

It is not practicable to specify all of the expenditure

reductions and other economies that will result from the proposed

reorganization, and therefore I do not do so. The reorganization

will result in greater efficiency by unifying in Washington the

management of programs which are already administered in a

consolidated manner in the field. For example, field officers will

no longer report to two separate sets of supervisors and

headquarters at home.

This plan abolishes the functions of the Advisory Committee on

the Arts authorized by section 106(c) of the Mutual Educational and

Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2456(c)). Also

abolished, as a result of the consolidation of certain functions of

the United States Advisory Commission on Information and the United

States Advisory Commission on International Educational and

Cultural Affairs in the United States Advisory Commission on

International Communication, Cultural and Educational Affairs, are

the functions authorized by section 603 of the United States

Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, as amended (22

U.S.C. 1468) (requiring submission by the United States Advisory

Commission on Information of a quarterly report to the Director of

USIA and a semiannual report to the Congress). The new commission

will report annually and at such other times as it deems

appropriate (as does the existing Advisory Commission on

International Educational and Cultural Affairs). Since appointments

of all members of the new commission will be on a nonpartisan

basis, as has been the case with the Advisory Commission on

International Educational and Cultural Affairs, the requirement of

section 602(a) of the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act

(22 U.S.C. 1467(a)) that not more than three members of the

Advisory Commission on Information shall be of the same political

party is abolished.

Various obsolete or superseded functions under Reorganization

Plan No. 8 of 1953 (22 U.S.C. 1461 note), which created the USIA,

are superseded by this plan. Finally, the Plan abolishes a

provision authorizing the Secretary of State to pay the expenses of

transporting the bodies of participants in exchange programs who

die away from home, since State no longer will conduct such

programs (22 U.S.C. 2670(e)). All functions abolished by the

reorganization are done so in compliance with section 903(b) of

title 5 of the United States Code.

After investigation, I have found that this reorganization is

necessary to carry out the policy set forth in section 901(a) of

title 5 of the United States Code. The provisions in this Plan for

the appointment and pay of the Director, Deputy Director, and

Associate Directors of the Agency have been found by me to be

necessary by reason of the reorganization made by the plan and are

at a rate applicable to comparable officers in the executive

branch.

In presenting this plan, I ask the support of Congress to

strengthen and simplify the machinery by which we carry out these

important functions of the United States Government.

Such action will make us better able to project the great variety

and vitality of American life to those abroad, and to enrich our

own lives with a fuller knowledge of the vitality and variety of

other societies.

The new Agency for International Communication will help us

demonstrate "a decent respect for the opinions of mankind," and to

deal intelligently with a world awakening to a new spirit of

freedom.

Sec. 1464a. Broadcasting Board of Governors satellite and

television

-STATUTE-

(a) In general

The Broadcasting Board of Governors is authorized to lease or

otherwise acquire time on commercial or United States Government

satellites for the purpose of transmitting materials and programs

to posts and other users abroad.

(b) Broadcast principles

The Congress finds that the long-term interests of the United

States are served by communicating directly with the peoples of the

world by television. To be effective, the Broadcasting Board of

Governors must win the attention and respect of viewers. These

principles will therefore govern the television broadcasts of the

United States International Television Service:

(1) The United States International Television Service will

serve as a consistently reliable and authoritative source of

news. The United States International Television Service news

will be accurate and objective.

(2) The United States International Television Service will

represent the United States, not any single segment of American

society and will, therefore, present a balanced and comprehensive

projection of significant American thought and institutions.

(3) The United States International Television Service will

present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively

and will also present responsible discussions and opinion on

these policies.

The Broadcasting Board of Governors is authorized to produce,

acquire, or broadcast television programs, via satellite, only if

such programs -

(1) are interactive, consisting of interviews among

participants in different locales;

(2) cover news, public affairs, or other current events;

(3) cover official activities of government, Federal or State,

including congressional proceedings and news briefings of any

agency of the Executive branch; or

(4) are of an artistic or scientific character or are otherwise

representative of American culture.

(d) Costs

When a comparable program produced by United States public or

commercial broadcasters and producers is available at a cost which

is equal to or less than the cost of production by the United

States International Television Service, the Broadcasting Board of

Governors shall use such materials in preference to the United

States International Television Service produced materials.

(e) Allocation of funds

(1) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated to the

Broadcasting Board of Governors not more than $12,000,000 for the

fiscal year 1990 and not more than $12,480,000 for the fiscal year

1991 may be obligated or expended for the United States

International Television Service.

(2) The Broadcasting Board of Governors shall prepare and submit

to the Congress quarterly reports which contain a detailed

explanation of expenditures for the United States International

Television Service during the fiscal years 1990 and 1991. Such

reports shall contain specific justification and supporting

information pertaining to all programs, particularly those

described in subsection (c)(4) of this section, that were produced

in-house by the United States International Television Service.

Each such report shall include a statement by the Broadcasting

Board of Governors that, according to the best information

available to the Broadcasting Board of Governors, no comparable

United States commercially-produced or public television program is

available at a cost which is equal to or less than the cost of

production by the United States International Television Service.

(3) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated to the

Broadcasting Board of Governors, $1,500,000 for the fiscal year

1990 and $1,500,000 for the fiscal year 1991 shall be available

only for the purchase or use of programs produced with grants from

the Corporation for Public Broadcasting or produced by United

States public broadcasters.

Sec. 1465aa. Findings and purposes

-STATUTE-

The Congress finds and declares that -

(1) 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 the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights;

(2) consonant with this policy, television broadcasting to Cuba

may be effective in furthering the open communication of accurate

information and ideas to the people of Cuba and, in particular,

information about Cuba;

(3) television 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;

(4) facilities broadcasting television programming to Cuba must

be operated in a manner consistent with applicable regulations of

the Federal Communications Commission, and must not affect the

quality of domestic broadcast transmission or reception; and

(5) that (!1) 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 television broadcasts to Cuba which

provide news, commentary, and other information about events in

Cuba and elsewhere to promote the cause of freedom in Cuba.

-HEAD-

Sec. 1465bb. Television broadcasting to Cuba

-STATUTE-

(a) Television broadcasting to Cuba

In order to carry out the purposes set forth in section 1465aa of

this title and notwithstanding the limitation of section 1461 of

this title with respect to the dissemination in the United States

of information prepared for dissemination abroad to the extent such

dissemination is inadvertent, the Broadcasting Board of Governors

(hereafter in this subchapter referred to as the "Agency" (!1))

shall provide for the open communication of information and ideas

through the use of television broadcasting to Cuba. Television

broadcasting to Cuba shall serve as a consistently reliable and

authoritative source of accurate, objective, and comprehensive

news.

(b) Voice of America standards

Television broadcasting to Cuba under this subchapter shall be in

accordance with all Voice of America standards to ensure the

broadcast of programs which are objective, accurate, balanced, and

which present a variety of views.

Any program of United States Government television broadcasts to

Cuba authorized by this section shall be designated the "Television

Marti Program".

(d) Frequency assignment

(1) Subject to the Communications Act of 1934 [47 U.S.C. 151 et

seq.], the Federal Communications Commission shall assign by order

a suitable frequency to further the national interests expressed in

this subchapter, except that no such assignment shall result in

objectionable interference with the broadcasts of any domestic

licensee.

(2) No Federal branch or agency shall compel an incumbent

domestic licensee to change its frequency in order to eliminate

objectionable interference caused by broadcasting of the Service.

(3) For purposes of section 305 of the Communications Act of 1934

[47 U.S.C. 305], a television broadcast station established for

purposes of this subchapter shall be treated as a government

station, but the Federal Communications Commission shall exercise

the authority of the President under such section to assign a

frequency to such station.

(e) Interference with domestic broadcasting

(1) Broadcasting by the Television Marti Service shall be

conducted in accordance with such parameters as shall be prescribed

by the Federal Communications Commission to preclude objectionable

interference with the broadcasts of any domestic licensee. The

Television Marti Service shall be governed by the same standards

regarding objectionable interference as any domestic licensee. The

Federal Communications Commission shall monitor the operations of

television broadcasting to Cuba pursuant to subsection (f) of this

section. If, on the basis of such monitoring or a complaint from

any person, the Federal Communications Commission determines, in

its discretion, that broadcasting by the Television Marti Service

is causing objectionable interference with the transmission or

reception of the broadcasts of a domestic licensee, the Federal

Communications Commission shall direct the Television Marti Service

to cease broadcasting and to eliminate the objectionable

interference. Broadcasts by the Service shall not be resumed until

the Federal Communications Commission finds that the objectionable

interference has been eliminated and should not recur.

(2) The Federal Communications Commission shall take such actions

as are necessary and appropriate to assist domestic licensees in

overcoming the adverse effects of objectionable interference caused

by broadcasting by the Television Marti Service. Such assistance

may include the authorization of nondirectional increases in the

effective radiated power of a domestic television station so that

its coverage is equivalent to the maximum allowable for such

facilities, to avoid any adverse effect on such stations of the

broadcasts of the Television Marti Service.

(3) If the Federal Communications Commission directs the

Television Marti Service to cease broadcasting pursuant to

paragraph (1), the Commission shall, as soon as practicable, notify

the appropriate committees of Congress of such action and the

reasons therefor. The Federal Communications Commission shall

continue to notify the appropriate committees of Congress of

progress in eliminating the objectionable interference and shall

assure that Congress is fully informed about the operation of the

Television Marti Service.

(f) Monitoring of interference

The Federal Communications Commission shall continually monitor

and periodically report to the appropriate committees of the

Congress interference to domestic broadcast licensees -

(1) from the operation of Cuban television and radio stations;

and

(2) from the operations of the television broadcasting to Cuba.

(g) Task force

It is the sense of the Congress that the President should

establish a task force to analyze the level of interference from

the operation of Cuban television and radio stations experienced by

broadcasters in the United States and to seek a practical political

and technical solution to this problem.
