Senate committee approves 38.52 million for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10 to 3 to authorize 38.52 million dollars for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty for the fiscal year starting July 1, matching administration requests. Opponents including Sen. Church and Sen. Mansfield urged a 36 million cut. The stations, funded for decades by the CIA, face renewed public financing scrutiny amid Cold War legacy concerns. Israeli courts in the occupied Gaza Strip sentenced 27 Arabs to life for guerrilla activities during 1970-71.
