I would like to bring to the attention of the House a Voice of America report entitled "VOA Broadcasting to Cuba." The VOA report contradicts this contention. Radio Marathon currently places its signal over Cuba. While it cannot be a "surrogate national radio station" for another country. "what VOA can do. and does. is to deal with another nations internal developments when and as they become issues of international significance." While the administration claims that Cubans are deprived of the truth about Cuba. the VOA notes that: Among the program materials used in the regular Spanish language programming in the first half of 1980. for example. were interviews with Cuban political prisoners ... and with a broad crosssection of Cuban refugees. ... Developments involving Cubans in Angola and Ethiopia are reported to Cuba as developments in Cuba are reported to Africa. News analyses. commentaries. editorial opinion packages. and special reports and documentaries appear regularly and on special occasions.
