On the recordJuly 24, 1996
Now the USIA and the International Broadcasting Bureau are in the process of determining exactly how to carry out that vague mandate. They have been directed by the White House to move not just the headquarters but the entire broadcasting operation, nearly 200 people, and to move them as soon as possible. I never, never heard of a situation where the law specifies headquarters but affects the entire organization. This concerns me, as someone whose constituents are being face with an unwanted move.
