"I know this issue is complicated because the Secretary of State came before our committee and discussed it. So did Assists ant Secretary Benton. They both told us that the State Department and the Federal Communications Commission are working on new legis¬ lation to cover snort-wave broadcasting. These agencies have been studying the problem for 6 montns. They expect to have a message for Congress on this subject in the near future.
'•The Secretary of State told our Committee that the State Department was given the job by the President. The State Department considers this a temporary arrangement until a thorough study can be made by the FCC and the Congress. Tne funds contained in this bill would only enable the State Department to carry on the broad¬ casting until the Congress can decide on a permanent plan for short¬ wave. * * *
"Tne net effect of tne amendment of the gentleman from Ohio is to silence the radio voice of America after September 1 and to leave to other governments, some of them hostile governments, tne interpretation of American policies on tne radio.
"The gentleman may argue that private licensees in the United States can do this job. Tney admit themselves that they can¬ not finance an adequate broadcasting schedule to all major language areas of the world. Obviously no private licensee in the United States can operate the relay transmitters in foreign countries, without which most of the world cannot hear our broadcasts. *•**■*
To this Representative John Taber ( R) , of New York,
replied:
"I think it is about time that this Committee of the House understands what this amendment does. I was sorry to note from the statement of the gentleman from Michigan that apparently he had not understood the amendment.
"This amendment would not prevent the operation of radio stations by the State Department, but it would prevent them from giving out news, the source of which was not identified, and it would prevent them from purchasing private short-wave stations which would otherwise be devoted to broadcasting international information or cultural programs, and prevent them from maintaining a monopoly of the whole short-wave broadcasting.
"There are seven short-wave stations at the present time operating out of tills country. Tne Government has them all. This amendment would prevent only the use of those when private programs are available. There is no such tiling as its preventing the opera¬ tion by the Government of broadcasting stations. "
