22 U.S.C. § 7813 — Radio broadcasting to North Korea
submitted 22 years ago by Pub. L. 108-333 to r/title-22-FOREIGN-RELATIONS-AND-INTERCOURSE · 166 words · no verdicts yet
Congress believes the U.S. should broadcast more news into North Korea, aiming for 12 hours a day, and fund nongovernmental groups that involve North Korean defectors in their programming. The Broadcasting Board of Governors had to report to Congress within 120 days on current broadcasting and a plan to expand it.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States should—
facilitate the unhindered dissemination of information in North Korea* by increasing its support for broadcasting, including news rebroadcasting, to North Korea, and that the Broadcasting Board of Governors should increase such broadcasts, including news rebroadcasts, to North Korea from current levels, with a goal of providing 12-hour-per-day broadcasting to North Korea, including broadcasts by Radio Free Asia and Voice of America; and
expand funding for nongovernmental organization broadcasting efforts, prioritizing organizations that engage North Korean defectors in programming and broadcast services.
Not later than 120 days after October 18, 2004, the Broadcasting Board of Governors shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees* a report that—
describes the status of current United States broadcasting to North Korea; and
outlines a plan for increasing such broadcasts to 12 hours per day, including a detailed description of the technical and fiscal requirements necessary to implement the plan.
