On the recordJuly 11, 1996
I now ask again for a $1 million reduction in CPB appropriations because this is roughly the amount of money that the Pacifica Radio Network receives each year from the CPB. Based in Berkeley, CA, Pacifica is a network of 5 radio stations with at least 57 affiliates that carry its news service and talk shows. I believe the Federal Government should stop pumping dollars into Pacifica--via the CPB--and stop footing the bill for the outrageous hate programming Pacifica has distributed.
