Buckley Fears USIA Cuts Endanger Global News Reach
In a critique of Senate action, Buckley argues a $3 million USIA cut cripples broadcasting to China, calling the agency a necessary bulwark against tyranny. He cites Voice of America and BBC as vital links while condemning Fulbright’s panel for deeming USIA a cold war anachronism and threatening detente rhetoric. Senator Jackson then champions robust exchange and freedom of movement as true detente, contrasting with Fulbright’s stance and a Greece focus cited from a 1964 remark.
