               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
          CHAPTER 71--UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING
 
Sec. 6211. The continuing mission of Radio Free Europe and Radio 
        Liberty broadcasts
        
    It is the sense of Congress that Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty 
should continue to broadcast to the peoples of Central Europe, Eurasia, 
and the Persian Gulf until such time as--
        (1) a particular nation has clearly demonstrated the successful 
    establishment and consolidation of democratic rule; and
        (2) its domestic media which provide balanced, accurate, and 
    comprehensive news and information, is firmly established and widely 
    accessible to the national audience, thus making redundant 
    broadcasts by Radio Free Europe or Radio Liberty.

At such time as a particular nation meets both of these conditions, RFE/
RL should phase out broadcasting to that nation.
