Congressional findings and declaration of purposes The Congress makes the following findings and declarations: (1) It is the policy of the United States to promote the right of freedom of opinion and expression, including the freedom ‘‘to seek, re- ceive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of fron- tiers,’’ in accordance with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. (2) Open communication of information and ideas among the peoples of the world contrib- utes to international peace and stability and the promotion of such communication is in the interests of the United States. (3) It is in the interest of the United States to support broadcasting to other nations con- sistent with the requirements of this chapter. (4) The continuation of existing United States international broadcasting, and the creation of a new broadcasting service to the people of the People’s Republic of China and other countries of Asia which lack adequate sources of free information, would enhance the promotion of information and ideas, while ad- vancing the goals of United States foreign pol- icy. (5) The reorganization and consolidation of United States international broadcasting will achieve important economies and strengthen the capability of the United States to use broadcasting to support freedom and democ- racy in a rapidly changing international envi- ronment.
