===General Guidelines===
Always remember, we carry the dream of a better tomorrow to our listeners. Do use words like Hope, Victory, and Freedom. Do not list exact casualty figures. unless they're Chinese casualties - T
Do not use words like Stalemate, Bloodbath, or Nuclear Armageddon/War. Negative speech hurts morale. Don't give aid or comfort to the enemy!

===Programing notes===
* The planned radio play of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has been cancelled. While undeniably a classic, it's message is outdated in our modern world, and our listeners deserve a more contemporary Christmas story. translation: too communist, don't bring it up
* Following the unfortunate events of the previous week, our "Voices from the Front" segment will be conducted in studio, with the script, actors, etc. provided by our friends from Langley. The segment will return to normal as soon as we are able to recruit a new war correspondent with the relevant clearances. in other news, a memorial for Jackie will be held at the bar over on 5th Street this Friday
* We are pleased to announce a new segment - "Rational Rationing", where we will be helping our audience with a variety of healthy and nutritional meals that can be prepared on a budget and with only their government allocated food ration. All hosts presenting this segment are expected to familiarize themselves with the latest ration sizes, including how many people they are intended for, and how long they are meant to last. name's a work in progress, if anyone can think of a better one, talk to Steve

===Major News Stories===
* Upcoming opening of the 2077 New York World's Fair - the station has been sponsored by Lockreed and NE. Specifics are being worked on by marketing, but mention them in any coverage of the fair.

===Addendum: draft script for December 25th Christmas Special===
Exact casting has yet to be decided - management isn't sure yet if they want all our hosts to take part, or if they want a specific host to do so. Multiple songs and adverts are also listed, again because management isn't certain yet. Should all be confirmed by the 23rd.
Host: "Merry Christmas everybody, you are listening to Radio USA, coming to the radio in your living room with a day of entertainment that the whole family will enjoy. We have a special live performance from Danny Parker's Modern Jazz Group, as well as Paul Clooney together with his orchestra. And after that, the premiere of Hubris Comics latest radio series. But before then, here are some holiday classics."
:::Music - Classic Christmas carols - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Silent Night, We Wish you a Merry Christmas, and Let It Snow.
Host: "Certainly timeless, but how about something more modern? Introducing Mister Danny Parker!"
:::Danny Parker's performance Parker hasn't sent us his set list yet, but he's been told he has one hour
Host: "Now for a word from our sponsors. But don't touch that dial, because we will be back with the national debut of a brand new radio play!"
:::Adverts: War Bonds, Super Duper Mart, Recruitment, National Cars, Stent Security Solutions, or Skylanes Air.
:::Radio Play: The unstoppable meeting of Hubris Comics greatest Hero's episode one (runtime one and a half hours).
Host: "Well wasn't that an exciting cliffhanger folks? I'm afraid episode two won't be out until next year, but you can listen to it with us when it does. Up next, on break from their Las Vegas residency, is George Clooney and his Orchestra, with original arrangements of several classic songs!"
:::George Clooney's performance:
* American Swing
