Note.--In 1998 and 1999, all staff and associated support costs for
Educational and Cultural Affairs will be funded in the Exchanges programs
account.
The United States Information Agency conducts the international
informational, educational, cultural and exchange programs of the United
States and advises the President, the National Security Council, and the
Secretary of State on these matters. The Agency defines, explains, and
advocates U.S. policies abroad and seeks to increase knowledge and
understanding among foreign audiences of U.S. society and its values.
The USIA Strategic Plan for 1997-2002 was submitted to Congress in
September 1997 in compliance with the 1993 Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA). The Agency expects to submit its FY 1999 Performance
Plan to the Congress in February 1998.
USIA's efforts to realize the benefits of a well-functioning
performance and results management system are underway. Agency elements
are collecting data and beginning to make management and program
decisions based on the findings. Overseas field posts are submitting
more concise and focused reports for data collection and identifying
their objectives more clearly. These objectives are closely linked to
and aligned with the strategic goals of the International Affairs
Strategic Plan through continuing collaboration with our counterparts
and colleagues in the State Department and other foreign affairs
agencies in developing a strategic framework for the mission and goals
of the foreign affairs community as a whole.
Using the Strategic and Performance Plans as a guide, the Agency is
focusing its resources more directly on the strategic goals and
performance objectives and, to this end, is reviewing management and
budget systems to achieve more visible accountability.
Agency overseas information and cultural program operations and
support functions are financed from this appropriation and consist of
the following major elements.
[[Page 1148]]
Overseas missions.--The Agency currently operates 192 U.S.
Information Service (USIS) posts in 141 countries. These USIS posts
administer exchange-of-persons programs and conduct informational and
cultural activities using, primarily, materials and programs provided by
support offices in Washington, D.C.
Bureau of Information.--This technologically advanced Bureau
supports U.S. foreign policy by means of instant and in-depth
communications with international opinion leaders and policy makers. The
Bureau provides information electronically through the Agency's World
Wide Web home pages, its daily Washington File and biweekly thematic
journals. It supports the Agency's U.S. foreign press centers and
overseas Information Resource Centers, which draw on databases and other
electronically delivered information. The Bureau supports U.S. speakers
and specialists at U.S. Information Service posts not only through
overseas travel, but also through interactive dialogues via telephone
and digitized video conferences. It also publishes pamphlets and other
printed materials for distribution to those who influence international
opinion.
Agency direction and management.--This activity includes managerial
staffs, research and centralized servicing functions for the Agency.
Administrative support from other agencies.--This activity includes
payment to the Department of State for USIA's share of the costs of
services provided for overseas operations. The Department was reimbursed
for the Distributed Administrative Support (DAS) services by
participating agencies under the Foreign Affairs Administrative Support
System (FAAS) in 1997. In 1998, the FAAS system is being replaced with
the International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS)
system. This activity also covers payments to the General Services
Administration for space and services provided under the Federal
building rent system, and payments to other agencies for services
provided.

This appropriation provides funding for programs authorized by the
Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended, to
support U.S. foreign, economic and security policy objectives and to
assist in the development of peaceful relations between the United
States and other countries. These goals are addressed by fostering
increased mutual understanding through international exchange and
training activities. Programs under this appropriation include:
Academic programs.--Includes the J. William Fulbright Educational
Exchange Program for the exchange of students, scholars and teachers
between the United States and foreign countries as well as Fulbright's
Hubert H. Humphrey program; the Edmund S. Muskie fellowship program of
academic study and internships for mid-career professionals from
developing countries and the Newly Independent States of the former
Soviet Union (NIS); graduate- and postdoctoral-level Near and Middle
East studies and research by U.S. students and scholars; and programs in
support of the study of the United States in other countries designed to
promote better foreign understanding of the United States.
Professional/Cultural exchanges.--Includes the International Visitor
Program which supports travel in the United States by emerging foreign
political leaders, professionals and educators to obtain firsthand
knowledge about the United States, its people, politics and culture;
cooperative programs with non-governmental organizations, such as the
Citizen Exchanges Program which awards grants to U.S. non-profit
organizations for professional, cultural, institutional, and grassroots
community exchanges with foreign counterparts; and other programs.
NIS and SEED exchanges.--Includes democracy and free-market
development programs for the exchange of students, scholars and
professionals between the United States and the NIS and Central and
Eastern Europe under the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992 and the Support for
East European Democracy Act of 1989.
Exchanges support.--Includes all funding for domestic staff and
support costs related to exchange programs managed by
[[Page 1150]]
the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. USIS overseas posts
provide support to these programs abroad.
The Agency has developed a framework for strategic planning and
performance measurement of programs in accordance with the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993. In 1999, performance measurement
data will be collected, analyzed, and used in Educational and Cultural
Exchanges Programs budgeting and decision making.
The Bureau has established the Office of U.S. Government Exchanges
Coordination to support the work of the Interagency Working Group on
United States Government-sponsored International Exchanges and Training.
This Office will establish an information clearinghouse for government-
wide exchanges, and will collect data and conduct analysis of U.S.
Government-funded and private-sector exchanges. In 1999, the Bureau will
continue to develop the exchanges coordination function as an instrument
of policy support, working closely with dozens of Federal departments
and agencies which are striving with USIA to achieve such coordination.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a private, nonprofit
corporation established in the District of Columbia to encourage and
strengthen the development of democratic institutions and processes
internationally. NED supports democratic initiatives in six regions of
the world: Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the
Middle East and the NIS.
The National Endowment for Democracy Act provides that the U.S.
Information Agency will make an annual grant to the Endowment to enable
the Endowment to fulfill the purposes of the Act. The Endowment does not
carry out programs directly but its Board approves annual grants to the
American Center for International Solidarity, the Center for
International Private Enterprise, the International Republican
Institute, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs,
and scores of indigenous organizations working to promote civic
education, human rights, independent media, and other democratic
processes and values.

This appropriation provides operational funding for all United
States non-military international broadcasting. The account reflects the
requirements of the International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (the Act) to
consolidate all non-military international broadcasting activities.
Specifically, the appropriation will fund the Broadcasting Board of
Governors (BBG), the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
(RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia, the WORLDNET Television and Film Service,
Radio and Television Broadcasting to Cuba, and
[[Page 1153]]
the necessary engineering, technical, and administrative support
activities.
Pursuant to the Foreign Affairs Authorization Act, Fiscal Years
1994-95, RFE/RL continues to seek and explore opportunities for private
sector funding. Significant steps have been taken over the past three
years.
The RFE/RL Research Institute was privatized in 1994 by founding,
together with the Open Society Institute, the Open Media Research
Institute (OMRI). In 1997, Open Society Institute ended its support for
OMRI. RFE/RL took back a small part of OMRI operations essential to
support broadcasting. All other RFE/RL research operations were
terminated.
Since passage of the Act, RFE/RL has placed priority on privatizing
its Polish and Czech language services. In 1994, both services were
reconstituted as separate non-profit corporations. RFE/RL explored
private funding of its Warsaw-based Polish service spin-off, RWE, with
several media companies over the past three years. These discussions
were ultimately unsuccessful. RFE/RL's Polish-language broadcasting
ceased at the end of 1997. RFE/RL entered into a joint venture with
Czech Public Radio for Czech-language broadcasting in 1995. The Czech
host government, which provides RFE/RL's rent-free headquarters in
Prague, has asked RFE/RL to ensure that these broadcasts continue. Czech
Public Radio pays most of the costs, and minor underwriting support from
Czech companies has been obtained.
RFE/RL's efforts to privatize to date suggest severe limits on the
potential for advertising or underwriting revenue for news and public
affairs programming in the former Soviet bloc. In much of this area,
significant advertising markets have yet to develop. Where advertising
markets do exist, they are often barely able to sustain small, emerging
local broadcasters, who concentrate mainly on popular music and other
entertainment programming.
A special office at RFE/RL headquarters has been established to
continue to explore privatization opportunities.
In compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act,
International Broadcasting has developed five performance measures.
Baselines for 1997 and 1998, and targets for 1999 have been developed.
Research methodology is in place for some of the measures, while under
development for others.
In 1998 and prior years, funding for Radio and Television
Broadcasting to Cuba was provided in a separate appropriation.
