Report To The Honorable Claiborne Pell

United States Senate








Improved Oversight Can Reduce Broadcast

Violations At Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty



Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have
exi ted since the 1950s as private, govern-
me t-financed radio services broadcasting
to astern Europe and the Soviet Union,
respectively. The radios operate under
American management and the statutory
oversight of the Board for International
Broadcasting.

GAO found that management's ability to
prevent violations of program guidelines
has been weakened, and there are indica-
tions that the Board's independent over-
siglht has decreased.

GA is making a series of recommenda-
tios to the Board to improve manage-
me rt's broadcast controls and strengthen
the federal oversight. While disagreeing
wit some of GAO's observations, the
Bolrd indicated that the recommendations
corcerning broadcast controls are being
implemented and those concerning federal
oversight have been or will be fully
addressed.
