receive, and impart information and ideas through any media 
and regardless of frontiers";

tific and Cultural Organization provides for the promotion of 
"the free flow of ideas by word and image";

Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki, 1975) pledged 
themselves "to facilitate the freer and wider dissemination of 
information of all kinds, to encourage co-operation in the field 
of information and the exchange of information with other 
countries, and to improve the conditions under which journal-
ists from one participating State exercise their profession in 
another participating State ; and 
(5) government censorship, domination, or suppression of a 
free press is a danger to free men and women everywhere. 
(b) Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that the United 
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization should

cease efforts to attempt to regulate news content and to formulate 
rules and regulations for the operation of the world press.

access to and dissemination of news. 
(d) The President shall evaluate and, not later than six months 
after the date of enactment of this Act, shall report to the Congress 
his assessment o
f
— 
(1) the extent to which United States financial contributions 
to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural 
Organization, and the extent to which the programs and activ-
ities of that Organization, serve the national interests of the 
United States; 
(2) the programs and activities of the United Nations Educa-
tional, Scientific and Cultural Organization, especially its pro-
grams and activities in the communications sector; and 
(3) the quality of United States participation in the United 
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 
including the quality of United States diplomatic efforts with 
respect to that Organization, the quality of United States repre-
sentation in the Secretariat of that Organization, and the qual-
ity of recruitment of United States citizens to be employed by 
that Organization. 
Such report should include the President's recommendations regard-
ing any improvements which should be made in the quality and 
substance of United States representation in the United Nations 
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

assumed in the operation of the informational media guaranty 
program under this section and which were outstanding on the date 
of enactment of this paragraph.". 
INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES AND NATIONAL SECURITY 
SEC. 305. (a) The Congress finds that— 
(1) United States Government sponsorship of international 
exchange-of-persons activities has, during the postwar era, con-
tributed significantly 
to United States national 
security 
interests; 
(2) during the 1970's, while United States programs declined 
dramatically, Soviet exchange-of-persons activities increased 
steadily in pace with the Soviet military buildup; 
(3) as a consequence of these two trends, Soviet exchange-of-
persons programs now far exceed those sponsored by the United 
States Government and thereby provide the Soviet Union an 
important means of extending its worldwide influence; 
(4) the importance of competing effectively in this area is 
reflected in the efforts of major United States allies, whose 
programs also represent far greater emphasis on exchange-of-
persons activities than is demonstrated by the current United 
States effort; and 
(5) with the availability of increased resources, the United 
States exchange-of-persons program could be greatly strength-
ened, both qualitatively and quantitatively. 
(b) It is therefore the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) United States exchange-of-persons activities should be 
strengthened; 
(2) the allocation of resources necessary to accomplish this 
improvement would constitute a highly cost-effective means of 
enhancing the United States national security; and 
(3) because of the integral and continuing national security 
role of exchange-of-persons programs, such activities should be 
accorded a dependable source of long-term funding. 
22 use 2455 
(c) The amount obligated by the United States Information 
^°^^- 
Agency each fiscal year for grants for exchange-of-persons activities 
shall be increased, through regular annual increases, so that by the 
fiscal year 1986 the amount obligated for such grants is at least 
double (in terms of constant dollars) the amount obligated for such 
grants for the fiscal year 1982. 
22 use 2455 
(d)(1) In furtherance of the purposes of subsection (c), the Congress 
•^"'^ 
directs that of the amount appropriated for the United States 
Information Agency for the fiscal year 1983— 
(A) $84,256,000 shall be available only for grants for the 
Fulbright Academic Exchange Programs and the International 
Visitor Program; and 
(B) $3,248,000 shall be available only for grants for the 
Humphrey Fellowship Program; and 
(C) $8,906,000 shall be available only for grants to private, not-
for-profit 
organizations 
engaging 
in 
exchange-of-persons 
programs; 
subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection. 
(2) If the amount appropriated for the United States Information 
Agency for the fiscal year 1983 is less than the amount authorized 
for the fiscal year 1983, then the amounts specified in subpara-
PUBLIC LAW 97-241—AUG. 24, 1982 
96 STAT. 295 
graphs (A) through (C) of paragraph (1) shall each be deemed to be 
reduced to the amount which bears the same ratio to the specified 
amount as the amount appropriated bears to the amount author-
ized. For purposes of this paragraph— 
(A) the term "amount appropriated" means the amount 
appropriated under section 302 of this Act (less any rescissions), 
and does not include amounts appropriated under section 704 of 
the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 
1948 (relating to nondiscretionary personnel costs and currency 
fluctuations) or under any other provision of law; and 
(B) the term "amount authorized" means the amount author-
ized to be appropriated by section 302 of this Act, less an 
amount equal to any amount which was withheld from appro-
priation (or was rescinded) in order to reduce the amount 
available for a particular program or activity. 
(3) The Director of the United States Information Agency may 
authorize up to 5 percent of the amount earmarked under subpara-
graph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) to be used for a purpose other 
than the exchange-of-persons activities specified in that subpara-
graph. Not less than 15 days prior to any such authorization, the 
Director shall submit to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
House of Representatives, and to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions of the Senate, a justification for authorizing the use of 
earmarked funds for a purpose other than the specified exchange-of-
persons activities.
