We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

A substantial portion of RFE's activity is devoted to the projection of the American way of life, its institutions, customs, etc. as it is necessary that the peoples of Eastern Europe be made aware of our way of life and the common values of civilization which we share. The immediate problem of Radio Free Europe is to obtain a wealth of simple, intimate, appealing human interest material. Therefore, NAEB member stations are requested to submit to RFE appropriate materials in script form. RFE will be glad to pay whatever costs or other charges are involved, and would like either to retain the scripts permanently or to borrow them for copying purposes, whichever is most convenient to the station. If you have such material, please contact RFE and offer your cooperation. All contacts should be addressed to: Mr. Gerald L. Steibel, Assistant Chief, Information Department, Radio Free Europe, 110 West 57th Street, New York 19, New York. Thank you for your cooperation.
