               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
 CHAPTER 18--UNITED STATES INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
 
             SUBCHAPTER V-B--TELEVISION BROADCASTING TO CUBA
 
Sec. 1465aa. Findings and purposes

    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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. The word ``that'' probably should not appear.
