Inventory for FOIA Request 2006-0204-F
Records on Radio Marti
Extent
379 folders, approximately 32,767 pages
Access
Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the
Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 USC 22) and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 USC 552
as amended) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal
exemptions.
Copyright
Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of
their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the
United States (Title 17, USC) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material.
Provenance
Official records of William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency are housed at the Clinton Presidential Library
and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of
the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
Processed by
Staff Archivist, 2008. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2006-0204-F are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents
responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials.
FOIA request 2006-0204-F contains materials from several agencies and individuals, including the
National Security Council. Radio Marti, the U.S. government’s broadcasting service to Cuba, first aired
on May 20, 1985 as a result of the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act of 1983. Television broadcasting to
Cuba, TV Marti, was added to the Act in 1990. The aim of both Radio and TV Marti is to promote
democracy and freedom in Cuba by offering the public accurate and objective information, which is not
available in their own media.
The White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) Alpha File for Radio Marti contains a
draft of a message from President Clinton to the Cuban people marking Cuban Independence Day, May
20, 1997.

�The WHORM Subject Files – General includes records related to Radio Marti’s signal strength and
effectiveness, and the radio’s budget. Also included are copies of the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act
and an act regarding the availability of Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Marti broadcasts.
The WHORM Subject File – CF consists of one folder of correspondence between President Clinton and
Senator Graham and Representative Hamilton regarding funding for TV and Radio Marti.
The White House Staff and Office Files – CF consists of four folders from the files of Richard Nuccio.
The files contain correspondence, memoranda, cables, and press briefings (both in English and Spanish).
Topics covered include Radio Marti funding and the station’s coverage of international issues. Also
included are records regarding Cuba’s reaction to Track II of the Cuba Democracy Act of 1992.
The White House Staff and Office Files contain correspondence, reports, press briefings, memoranda,
and resumes from the office of the National Security Council. The records deal with a variety of topics
including: appointments to the President’s Advisory Board for Cuba, a 1997 report from the Office of
Inspector General (OIG) on Allegations of Employee Reprisal in the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, and a
transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with David Burke, chairman of the Broadcasting Board of
Governors. Also included are records related to the move of Radio/TV Marti offices from Washington,
D.C. to Miami, Florida, and the effectiveness and strength of Radio Marti’s transmission.
The Automated Records Management System (Email) consists of press briefings, news reports, and
presidential statements. Also included are Office of Management and Budget Legislative Reports and
weekly reports from the United States Information Agency (USIA). Topics include the 1996 downing
of two Brothers to the Rescue planes by the Cuban government and the marking of Cuban Independence
Day.
The Tape Restoration Project (Email) contains records similar to those described for the Automated

Marti. The NSC Cable System includes press reports on the U.S. immigration policy toward Cuba and
the Cuban government’s treatment of its citizens. Also included, are Department of State Reports on
Human Rights Practices in Cuba. The NSC Email System consists mainly of press material: press
guidance, news summaries, and press briefings. Some of the subjects covered include the Radio’s move
from Washington, D.C. to Miami, Florida, the downing of two Brothers to the Rescue planes by the
Cuban government, and the implementation of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act of
1996 (Libertad Act). The NSC Records Management System provides the researcher with
correspondence about Radio Marti’s funding, transmission strength and effectiveness, and the move of
the Radio/TV Marti offices to Miami, Florida.
System of Arrangement
Records that were responsive to this FOIA request were found in seven collection areas—Clinton
Presidential Records: WHORM Alpha Files, Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM Subject FilesGeneral, Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files-CF, Clinton Presidential Records: White
House Staff and Office Files-CF, Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files,
Clinton Presidential Records: Automated Records Management (ARMS) Emails, Tape Restoration

�it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the
subject area. WHORM Subject and WHORM Alpha files are processed at the document level.
The WHORM Subject file was compiled by the White House of Records Management and is a series of
categories designated by a letter/number combination. A complete listing of the categories with detailed
descriptions is provided in our research room.
The WHORM Alpha file was compiled by the White House Office of Records Management and is a
series of documents arranged by name of persons, organizations, or events.
The Automated Records Management System (ARMS) is a database that contains email records of the
Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential Records email. The
ARMS dataset is comprised of 6 sub-series of email records called “Buckets.” The buckets include
NPR, OPD, POTUS, WHO, CEA, and Default. ARMS emails are arranged chronologically by creation
date.
The Tape Restoration Project (TRP) is a database consisting of restored emails from the Automated
Records Management System from July 1994 through June of 2000. The TRP is a database that
contains email records of the Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified
Presidential record email. The TRP dataset is comprised of 6 sub-series of email records called
“Buckets.” The buckets include NPR, OPD, POTUS, WHO, CEA, and Default. ARMS emails are
arranged chronologically by creation date.

Nati<mal Security Council
Dear Nancy:
Here is the statement that went out last evening. After we talked I changed several
portions of the text which I understood to be of concern to you:
- removed the implication that there was no evidence to sustain the charges
-cited the fmding about irregularities in personnel, hiring, etc. andindicated need
for further reform in that area
I appreciate efforts to "contain" the chairman of the BBG from further self-inflicted
wounds and misrepresentation of administration policy by signing a joint statement. But
there are limits to hypocrisy. There have been significant "irregularities" and violations of
· federal personnel policies in the ~taffmg of BBG itself and if that box is opened there will
be· a lot ofworms to display.
I have the disadvantage of having read carefully the IG's report without prior axes to ·
· grind. I can tell you that the most damming findings relate to a former employee of the
Martis who was hired iD. a senior position by the BBG after he made charges that have now
been nearly totally discredited by this investigation.
·
·
Yes, I believe we should move on from here. I am not going to apologize for that. There is
too much to lose by. indulging in self-serving politics in our efforts to handle a highly
charged situation that is already over politicized.

FROM: SAMUEL R. BERGER
BETH NOLAN
CHUCK BRAIN
SUBJECT: Legislative Compromise Regarding the Flatow, Brothers
to the Rescue, and
Beirut Hostage.Plaintiffs
Purpose
.. ....
~·
To.obtain your approval of a legislative compromise intended to
resolve the
·
ongoing impasse with the Flatow, BTTR and Beirut hostage plaintiffs
while
preserving Executive leverage over blocked assets; and, to seek your
authority to
threaten a veto of other related legislation in order to garner support
for this
compromise.
�Page 3 of27
38BE126B.FIN
Background
COPY
At the close offue·last congressional session. we pr6pose
to provide
advance payments to plaintiffs holding judgments against terrorist
states using
appropriated funds. That, portion of plaintiffs' claims would
subsequently be
subrogated to the United States, which would seek repayment through
the
·
international claims process, or ultimately at the time relations are·
normalized.
We also proposed the formation of a commission to consider
· alternatives to
·
·
.
provide compensation to victims of terrorism while at the same time
preserving
your ability to use blocked assets to modify state behavior, influence
the
normalization of relations, and preserve principles of diplomatic
immunity. This
proposal proved unacceptable to Senators Mack and Lautenberg, who
opposed any
legislation dependent on appropriated funds, even with subrogation
and the
prospect of increased payments to plaintiffs offered by the use of
appropriated
funds.
In the interim, Judge Lamberth upheld your authority in the Flatow
case to waive
existing law allowing attachment of blocked assets and diplomatic
property. In
addition, the 11th Circuit overruled the District Court and upheld your
wmver
authority in the BTTR case.
We again face the prospect this week of legislation that would
authmize
. plaintiffs to attach Iranian diplomatic property in the United States,
including
.
'
the Chancery Building [*] as well as blocked terrorist state assets. In
light of
· ·
the court rulings, we would also anticipate the elimination of yo~
wmver
authority. As you know, Madeleine, Stu and I have voiced four
�3 8BE 126B .FIN
Page 4 of27
concerns about
·
authorizing the attachment of blocked assets and dit 1€~¥
(l)that
..
·
we preserve your ability to use blocked assets as a tore1gn policy too ;
(2)
ensure equity among comparable plaintiffs; (3) avoid mechanisms that
· ultimately
·
have the taxpayer pay these judgments through the Tribunal process;
atid, (4) that
·
we protect our own diplomatic properties overseas by meeting our
international
obligations to protect foreign properties in the United States. At the
same
time, we have sought a·mechahism to provide some compensation to
these plaintiffs
who have suffered considerably. This effort has been hampered by a
·dearth of
Iranian blocked assets, virtually all of those assets having been
returned to ·
Iran as part of the Algiers Accords resolving the Iranian hostage crisis.
What
remains under U.S. control are a number of diplomatic properties,·
including the
Iranian chancery, some of which the United States rents as a
mechanism to
maintain these properties.
Mindful of your desire to resolve this impasse and avoid a winner take
all
approach, Madeleine, Stu, Beth and I now recommend that we seek
legislat!on
authorizing payment of up to 5% of existing compensatory judgments
using blocked
Cuban assets, and the existing and future rental proceeds from the
blocked
Iranian diplomatic properties. (In the case of Cuban assets, which are
blocked
under the Trading with the Enemy Act, an argunient can be made that
you already
· have authority to take this step; however, Justice has questioned the
breadth of
·
this authority and it is important that the Congress participate in any ·
compromise resolution.) While there are adequate blocked assets to
provide more
money to the BTTR plaintiffs, for the reasons stated above we believe
. we should.
preserve the majority of blocked assets as future leverage over Cuba
and think
�.

that comparable plaintiffs should receive comparab e paymen s. . e
£"11"\
have
.
consciously chosen a relatively low percentage, w c~e
enough rental
·
proceeds to provide compensation to each of the judgment holders
against Iran,
including Terry Anderson whose compensatory damages are not yet
set. using this
formula the rental proceeds would be divided equally by percentage as
follows:
Flatow's; Cicdpio; Jacobson; Reed; Andersen TBD. The BTTR
plaintiffs would received...
ny
?
Our proposal would also remove the punitive damages provision of
section 117,
·
which makes .terrorist-list states subject to punitive damages. Punitive
damages
violate/are not recognized in international law and could cause
significant
difficulties in regard to normalization talks and retaliatory measures·
by other
countries. (This provision was added during the October 1998
Omnibus conference
·
with no notice to or opportunity to comment by the Administration.)
To be clear, we believe this is a "less bad option" than the alternative.
·
Use~
the rental proceeds, which have been the focus of extensive litigation,
should
prove enormously symbolic to the Flatows and represents a significant
compromise
and assumption of risk on the part of the Government. There are still
considerable risks of reciprocal retaliation abroad, where the United
States is
best served by a black letter rule protecting diplomatic property. And,
ultimately, the u.s. taxpayer will likely pay for this compromise as
the rental
proceeds are the subject of an Iranian Tribunal claim.
While we cannot be certain that this proposal will satisfy all the
plaintiffs, we ·
are certain that without a threat to veto other legislation we will stand
little
·
chance of securing Senate support for this compromise. Therefore, in
addition to
approving the legislative proposal described above, we also seek yolir
authority
�38BE126B.FIN
'Page 6 of27
to threaten to veto more expansive legislation.
CQ&.,Y
You should also know that we have continued to tr
possible
unblocked Iranian assets in the United States, which the Flatows
might attach, a
difficult effort in light of Iranian efforts to hide their investment as
well as
the uncertain ownership of assets in some cases. Significantly,
Treasury has
identified $165 million of Iranian bank Merlo (?) money in First
Shares Bank.
This fact will be notified to the Congress this week, and consistent
with
applicable trade secrets laws, provided.to plaintiffs. However, there is
risk
that the Iranians will seek to sell these assets before plaintiffs can act
and
·
even if they do, they will face a significant legal hurdle in the proving
to a
court that Merlo is not a separate juridical entity from the Government
oflran. ·
Recommendation
That you authorize us to propose legislation providing for 5% advance
payment of
existing judgments using blocked assets in the case of Cuba and
·
existing and
future rental proceeds in the case of Iran.
That you authorize a veto threat of legislation that would go beyond
this
compromise and seek to authorize the attachment of blocked assets
generally and
diplomatic property.

�Even though there is the presence bf internal.disputes by
diverse political groups who influence the news and the
programs, this is only part of the. problems at Radio Marti.
This specific problem has turned the mission of this station
from one that was informative to one that is now simply
advertisements, in many cases.
Radio Marti has served to
"form" and/or "create" political figures towards Cuban with
a look into the future, and in·accordance with the interests
of internal groups who represent int~rnal factions.
There are other problems
These -being, administrative
aspects:
emerging within this chapter.
corruption which has ... various·
1. Favoritism towards certain persons of the part of the
Management . . This favoritism has manifested in the
selection of the personnel supervisor and executive who
was selected and assigned, without having the
professional, technical and administrative
~
capabilities required for the position.
In many cases,
persons are given the supervisory positions even though_
these per~ons
have.
no
~nowledge
of
the
history or geography of Cuba. These persons loose
their objectivity and the reasoning and sense for which
.the station for Radio Marti was created, and respond
only to the interests of the Management, influenced, at
the same time by internal and external groups.
2. The discrimination is aimed towards the real
professionals who have many years of experience and ample
knowledge about Cuba and its subject matter. Knowing of
course, that these professionals do not and will not take
and/or for part of any group that fights and struggles
internally for power. These professionals respond 6nly
to the specific mission of Radio Marti.
However, these
professionals are not given the opportunity to hold
supervisory positi6ns. THE FAVORITISM AND DISCRIMINATION
OF RADIO MARTI VIOLATE Clauses One, Three, Four, Nine and
Ten -- directly and indirectly -- of the Code of Ethics
of the service of the Government.
They also violate the
spirit of the law created by Radio Marti which is known
as·the "RADIO BROADCASTING CUBA ACT," vhich specifies
under the CHAPTER...:. FINDINGS:.PURPOSES- Sec. 2, (3): that
such broadcasting to Cub~, operated in a manner not·
inconsistent vith the broad foreigri policy of he United
states and in accordance vith high professional
standards would be in national interest and (4) that the
�2
voice o-f America already broadcasts to Cuba information
that represents America, .not any single segment of
American Society, and includes a balanced and
comprehensive projection of significant American thought
and institutions but that there is a .need for broadcasts
to Cuba which provide news, commentary and other
information about events in Cuba and elsewhere to promote
the cause of freedom· in Cuba·. They also violate CHAPTER

The

compli~d
The s~ntenced~censure by the Democratic group in __ exercised
T11-'-·''Radio
Marti
by direct omission.
Information and
interviews are not aired after they have been
made.
Programs, and
including, artists, are eliminated without
justification in some cases. The explanation given is that
~hey are outside the policy, which is not true.
IRREGULARITIES:
1. The harassments, reprisals, and persecutions, which
are an abuse of ·their power, is found to be a common
action with some supervisors working for Radio Marti
when their employees disagree with their point of view.
The eval~ations these supervisors give to the employees
who disagree with their point of view are poor in order
to keep the employ or employees from being noticed and
fr~m moving ahead.
2. The majority of the department management positions have
been giveri without having publicizing a letter of ·
convocation in the press as required by law. The
convocation between the employees of Radio Marti
~or those positions have been given with very little
notice so that those on the internal side aspiring the
position cannot apply for the position within the
established limits. Finally, the position has been held
open for one year before naming the person who the
management has imposed; a person with poor professional
capabilities and experience, even though there were
�3
others who were more qualified, applying for the sam
position. As a result, the professional level continues
to decay and the station is performing at a minimum.
3. Some of the contracts ascend to many thousands of dollars
Many of the programs that are purchased, could be done by
using personnel from Radio Marti, yet instead, programs
are being purchased at high costs in the street, thereby
needlessly wasting the tax payers money. Also, portions
of these programs, which should have been completed when
purchased, have to be completed at Radio Marti with the
use of technical nd human resources and by using up
regular station time.
Persons with high positions perform minimal amounts of
work and he heavy load falls on those who are below them.
4. ·Being that usually the supervisors are less capable than
those who they supervise, the ~tmosphere of
discontentment and demoralization grows greater each day.
5. On many occasions the employees have turned to the legal
means of Radio Marti to expose their problems and
concerns, however, have resolved nothing because one way
or another the management and sub-management have
intervened, thereby frustrating the employees. These
employees have been later been persecuted and threatened,
as there are in existence in Radio Marti a number of
employees "EXCEPTED SERVICE" who have been advised that
they could be terminated at any moment.
The programming has impoverished notably within the last 2.
years due the lack of capability and experience of the
Management and Supervisors.
Cubans who arrive to the United
States point out that the programming has parted quite a
ways from the needs of the Cuban population.
On numerous occasions the sub-management of Radio Marti has
shown preference by contracting young personnel even if they
lacked experience, without considering older experienced
personnel; age discrimination.
The raining hand for Radio Marti has been informed

Stop the discrimination and violations. No discrimination
and no censuring. The per~onnel of Radio Marti also aspire
in hopes that an in depth audit with outside persons or
companies not related to the functionaries of Radio Marti be
conducted. The chapters for overtime have been handled with
irregularity in favor of some employees and against others.
The employees would also like to have the records and files
revised and reviewed to find out why some employees have
been promoted, while others who are more qualified have not
been promoted or recognized.

Richard,
You sent me for comment a letter from employees of Radio Marti alleging various improprieties in an
USIA/IG investigation into employment practices within Radio Marti. I have spoken with the USIA/GC,
who has briefed me generally on the background. I have also spoken with Wendy Zenker, in OMB, who
staffs the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency. The Council is the Administration body which
reviews complaints about IG performance. Wendy confirms that the Council is seized with the complaint
which is referenced in the letter to you. She also confirms that GAO' intends to investigate the matter
referenced in the letter to you. And, she informs me (not for outside release) that several other complaints
about the USIA/IG are under review elsewhere. Various investigations will end up being reported to
Council, which will make a recommendation concerning the USIA/IG. In short, with all the investigations
on-going, and with the appropriate body seized with the complaint, the best course· for you is to stay out of
the matter . .If you need to respond to the letter, I recommend a short response which acknwoledges the
incoming and indicates your understanding that the matter is appropriately under review at the Council.

NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20506
November 18, 1994
Dear Mr. Mas:
Thank you for your rec~nt correspondence regarding
recommendations by the Advisory Board. A review of these
recommendations is in order, and this is in r~sponse to your
request to meet with President Clintori for such a review.
Unfortunately, the President's schedule is crowded and does
not permit a timely response to the issues raised by the
Advisory Board. The principal issues raised in your
correspondence -- UHF broadcasts for TV Marti, expansion of
TV. Marti broadcasts to 24 hours a day, and relocation of
Radio-TV Marti to the South Florida area -- are being
reviewed, and you will be advised through USIA Director.
Duffey's office once decisions have been reached.
I regret that efforts to convene a Board meeting on these
matters was unsuccessful, and that my schedule did not
permit a private meeting last week in Miami.
I look forward
to continued cooperation between the Board and the
Administration in making effective use of Radio & TV Marti
as the best means of providing vital information to the
people who live in Cuba's closed society:
Sincerely,
Morton H. Halperin
Special Assistant to
the President arid
Senior Director for Democracy
Mr. Jorge Mas Canosa, Chairman
Advisory Board for Cuba Broadcasting

Estimado Rolando
Aqui te estoy enviando una copia de la carta que recibi del
Coronel Omar Ruiz Matosse actualmente cumpliendo
condena de 20
anos de privacion de libertad. El Coronel Matosse y otro grupo de
of icia.l es fuet-on acusados en 1990 de co laborar conmiao y su fren
toda ~lase de vilaciones a los derechos humanos. Como el Coronel
Matosse es ingeniero electronico veras en
su carta
como se las
agencio para escuchar Radio Marti en la prision militar.
Yo llevo
tiempo denunciando todos estes atropellos y te envio
copia de esta carta
para que
te des
cuenta que serla un gran
error dejar de transmitir mis comentarios por Radio Marti. Tanto
estos militares que ya estan
presos
como
los que actualmente
conspiran en
secrete estarian
recibiendo un
mensaJe erroneo Sl
ven que la unica voz proveniente de sus mismas filas
que los ha
alentado durante todo este tiempo deja de escucharse.
Acudo a ti porque posiblemente el senor Lobo no tenga una real
vision de lo que esto significa. Como te dije por telefono, si ~~
unico incdnveniente es el presup~esto yo puedo coniinuar con· mis
comentarios de gratis o cobrando 1
(un)
dollar al
ano.
En mi
poder tengo muchas otras cartas parecidas pero te envio esta par
ser la mas elocuente ya que
incluso prueba que Radio
Marti se
escucha hasta d2ntro de las prisiones militares de Castro.

Two-source rumor has it that a. report by the USIA IG out soon will be critical of interference by Mas in
Marti matters. This would make a decision to keep Martis in southwest Washington a lot simpler politically.
If we can quietly get an advance copy of the report, we will; otherwise it will reach us and the rest of the

world, I'm told, in about two weeks. No word yet from Miami.

Thursday, January 19, 1995 2:43PM
Dick Lobo passed along some information at lunch, to wit:
.1.
Lula has called a Saturday 7:30am breakfast with Cuban-American political appointees. Simon Ferro will
be there. Not sure of the agenda, or stimulus.
2.
Dick feels much more can be done by apolitical Cuban-Americans (oxymoron?) in GTMO -job training,
English teaching, vocational skills, etc. We talked about the constraints under which we operate, but he has
some interesting thoughts and could suggest some contacts (he'd prefer to remain an outsider.)
3.
Joe Duffey decided to do UHF for TV Marti, as we know, but Dick knows of no further action planned.
We talked it through, and it seems wise to resurrect the IWG that was convened last summer to discuss Marti
issues. I'm ready to do that, after we consult.
4.
GSA is carrying out a feasibility study to project costs for moving R/TV Marti to Homestead, Florida.
Results scheduled to be in around Feb. 6. Dick's wild guess is $3million-plus. Added twist from the Dade County
Commissioners which recently voted unanimously to recommend $4-7million in assistance of various kinds
should R/TV Marti move within its jurisdiction. They've doubtless been lobbied by Mas. This isn't much of an
issue now, but will likely become one that will provide yet another opportunity for politicizing Federal government
business in South Florida-- as USIA and VOA, not to mention Marti detractors ori the Hill, oppose moving the
facility.
·
·
5.
Dick says Mas let on that with the Repubs now in power and with Duffey habitually ignoring CNF/Mas
concerns he is tempted to take his problems directly to the Hill. I said I understood that temptation, but said
Jorge should understand that the President still runs the government and his appointees are still accountable.

The BBG version of events:
*
True, no face"to-face meeting between Burke and Mas
Burke became Director of BBG a year+ ago.
*
True, Mas sent congratulatory
appointment.
~\
*
*
But Mas in same timeframe was badmouthing Burke on the
Hill.
But all PAB meetings since Burke took over have been
Miami (as far as staff knows). Burke has been unable to.
attend, but BBG member Alfredo Mora has attended and
.reported results to BBG.
Bonachea met and briefed entire BBG last March in a
session during which BBG voiced high praise for Radio
Marti handling of shootdown news.
No decision has been made in this regard, although Burke
and other Board members have expressed personal views
that TVM is inefficient use of funds.
False, Burke is not "doing everything possible to undermine
Radio and TV Marti's mission to promote freedom and democracy
in Cuba."
*
*
\\\~
v
False, Burke had not "already made·a decision that TV Marti
should be terminated."
*
*
'?:> f0
False, Burke has not refused to meet with anyone in charge of
OCB, including Bonachea.
*
*
to Burke after
True, Mas invited him to meet with the Presidential Advisory
Board.
(Mas writes of two formal invitations; BBG staff know
of only one.)
*
*
~essage
since~
~'
Burke has criticized Mas's infl~ence over operations, but
that is far diffe~ent from undermining the mission.
Tcrue, Burke traveled to Prague but has. not "walk [ ed] a few
blocks to meet the directors of Radio and TV Marti."
*
BBG is double-hatted as RFE/RL corporate board and had
obligation to trav~l to Prague. Lack of visit is just
with Radio/TV Marti; Burke and BBG have not v~sited
several 6ther services, including Russian service.
~~D
~
�2
*
False, Burke has not "attack[ed] the Cuban American community
for. working within the American political system."
*
*
False, Joe Bruhs was not "capriciously dismissed" from his
position as deputy director (or chief of staff?) of the BBG
"because [he] truly understood and supported Radio and TV
Marti's mission."
*
*
He has criticized how the Gramm amendment was inserted
into the 96 continuing resolution without hearings or
significant public discussion.
Joe Duffey concurred in Bruns's reassignment to Duffey's.
own office when it became clear that, after serving as
acting BBG director for several months, he was having
difficulty adapting to Burke; other board members, and
how Burke wanted to run the board. At the time, Burke
was not aware of Bruns's long-standing relationship with
Mas.
True, BBG has held up approval of the persons nominated by
Radio and TV Marti to serve on its external review panel.
*
But all such panels have been delayed because BBG has
wanted to ensure that the members have the best
substantive and linguistic expertise and independence
from the services they're reviewing. Having failed to
achieve consensus on approach for all services, BBG
probably will approve Marti's recommendations soon.·
Other ·tidbits:
*
PAB and BBG have no institutional link -- neither reports to
or through the other-- although all had assumed at BBG's
inception that .courtesy would dictate greater cooperation.
PAB supposedly reports directly to the White House.
*
.Mas is releasing his letter. The Spanish edition of the Miami
Herald ran much of it yesterday, and Diario Las Americas is
printing it today.
*
No indication of whether Burke intends to respond.

MEMORANDUM TO:
Nancy Soderberg,
Deputy Assistant to the President
National Security Affairs
FROM:
Penn Kemble, Deputy Director, USIA
SUBJECT:
Issues, Board ofBroadcasting Governors
9~
We recently sent Matt Lorin some materials on legislative and legal issues involving the Board of
Brpadcasting Governors, which I hope were helpful. We are all grateful for the thoughtful
attention you are giving to this matter. Despite some reluctance, I feel obliged to be candid
about a concern that many of my colleagues share: one would seriously misread the problem we
face to see it as a conflict over processes, jurisdictions, etc. It's about policy and -- in the larger
sense -- politics.
We've been hearing more from our broadcasting constituencies and from Capitol Hill. Some of
the issues being raised could prove significant for the NSC and the White House.
As it happens, much of the discussion has centered on broadcasting to Cuba. Unfortunately, the
controversy over Marti broadcasting reflects problems that go deeper.
1. DAVID BURKE INTERVIEW WITH "60 MINUTES'' (See attachment A.)
Chairman Burke's statement involved more than public disagreement with the policy of the
Administration and Congress on the Martis move to Miami (not that this, and the finger-pointing
at Leon Panetta, was insignificant.) To understand the depth of feeling this has stilled you have
to look Closely at his argument.
A.
Chairman Burke asserted that "the Cuban exile community in Miami" has "undue
influences" on. not only TV but also Radio Marti.
He made no effort to differentiate among the views of the various elements in the Cuban
community on these issues -- and such differences aie significant.
His statement contradicts a tradition of encouraging American ethnic groups to become
involved with foreign affairs issues of concern to them a:nd to other Americans. (Many
Cuban-Americans have asked what the response would be were similar comments to be
made about Black involvemerh in African issues, or Jewish involvement with Israel?)
�Finally, his statement is a public judgement by the BBG Chairman on a still-pending
investigation begun by the Inspector General ofUSL<\ and now under the jurisdiction of.
the Inspector General of the Department of State into allegations of improper influence by
Cuban American political leaders-- notably Mr. Jorge Mas Canosa, who is specifically
designated by Chairman Burke as a source of such influence.
.
.
B.
In the course ofhis interview the Chairman was dismissive of TV Marti, saying it should
simply "go away." No one, of course, is satisfied with the effectiveness of TV Marti. ·
Cuban governmentjamtning prevents TV Marti from gaining any substantial audience in
Cuba. But in response to this, USIA, the BBG and Congress have authorized a test of ·
whether a UHF signal will prove rhore effective than the present VHF signal in
penetrating Castro's jamming. Maybe it won't, and we'll have to concede that TV Marti is
failure. But Chairman Burke's comments will suggest to some that this will not be a
real test. There
even be charges that he has encouraged stepped-up jamming by
Castro.
a
will
C.
Chairman Burke also declared that the United States Government continues to fund TV
Marti only because "the Congress tells the United States government to fund it." This
contradicts statements of support for attempting TV Broadcasting to Cuba by both
President Clinton and Vice President. Gore, as well as the positions ofUSIA and the
Department of State.
2.
REACTION TO C~ BURKE'S INTERVIEW
The CBS interview, and another televised interview wi~ ABC, provoked a flurry of protest.
A.
A number of Cuban American organizations wrote letters and issued statements. While
some of these groups may be small, others have large memberships; and are not disposed
to react to every slight, however insignificant. (The Junta Patriotica, the Municipios de
Cuba en el Exilic, and the Spanish American League Against Discrimination, for
·example.)
B.·
Five members of Congress, including Democrats Robert Torricelli and Bob Menendez,
wrote to the President asking for David Burke's resignation as Chairman of the BBG.
C.
Both the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Sub-Committee on
Government Operations have notified the Congressional Relations offices of the BBG
and USIA that they intend to hold hearings on the BBG early in the new year. These
hearings will address not only Cuban Broadcasting, but an array of other real and
potential conflicts between the BBG and Congress:
�3.
THE BBG RESPONDS
I
The Chairman appears eager for this confrontation.
A.
At a recent Board meeting signatures of Board members were solicited for a letter which
puts the entire Board on record in rejecting Congressional criticism of Chairman Burke.
Won't this encourage further acrimony with the Hill? .
B.
A resolution was adopted by the Board welcoming the opportunity for hearings before the
Helms and Burton Committees. Are these events we want to build up as the major
venues for discussing broadcasting and public diplomacy? Is this how we wantto
introduce international broadcasting to the many new members of Congress?
4.
OPERATIONS OF THE BBG
The Chairman has called Board meetings almost every month. Board members are slogging
through detailed discussions about a wide range of operational matters. But the chief executives
of the broadcasting services -- the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio
Free Asia and Radio and TV Marti -- have not been involved either in extensive discussions with
the Board or in helping shape the Board's agenda. As a member of the oversight board for
broa9.casting that preceded this one; I am sure this is a mistake. Broadcasting is essentially being
run by a Chairman who gives directives to a BBG staff that has never been engaged in getting
programs on the air, while those who manage real production are not involved in discussion of
policy and strategy. These people are professionals, and will survive. But without their input, the
Board will not be able to make informed decisions about the issues that really matter.
5.
STAFFING AND BUDGET OF THE BROADCASTING BOARD
The BBG has pressed for substantial increases in its own budget and staff for FY 1997 and FY
1998. It has done this on the argument that its oversight responsibilities require not only that it
oversee the editorial· products of the broll.dcast services, but that it manage all budgetary,
personnel, legal, congressional and administrative matters as well. The BBG staff is top-heavy
with high-salaried SES appointees -- at a time when the Administration is trying to eliminate
such excess.
As the earlier memo from the USIA General Counsel indicated, significant legal questions can be
raised about this scope of authority the BBG staff is claiming~ These issues acquire additional
significance in light of the high public profile, independent policy role, and Congressional
controversy apparently beirig sought by the BBG Chairman.

Suggest substitute summary/introduction:
This memo seeks your approval to begin a process to renew the
Presidential Advisory Board for Cuba Broadcasting. All seven
current ·members are holdover.s from Presidents Reagan and Bush,
and there are two vacancies. We p~opose replacing the five
Democratic seats and appointing one of them as Chairman to
replace Jorge Mas Canosa.
In accordance with our agreement with
Senator Lott, we would ask him to either renew the mandates of
the four remaining Republican members
including Mr. Mas Canosa
if he wishes -- or replace them.
We seek approval to notify Mr. Mas Canosa and interested Memb~rs
of Congress of this plan and to begin contacting possible
candidates for Board memb~rship.
This decision has taken on some
urgency as it is already beginning to leak (see Tab XXX). We
will request approval for the five specific Democratic
nominations at a later date.
You should be aware that replacing Mr. Mas Canosa as Chairman
will spark a major battle with him and his supporters in the
Cuban-American community. We are convinced, however, that it is
time to bring new leadership to the Board and this decision is
worth the fight.
·
2)
Add on p. 2, end of para 2 (after" ... Radio Marti in 1983.)
· A new Chairman could bring a fresh start and new ideas to the
Board as well as help reduce any perception that Radio and TV
Marti are ~he personal domain of an individual serving as
Chairman for 14 years.
3)
Add on p. 2, para 7 (after " ... approve specific candidates.")

TEXT BODY
for SANDY
Jose Basulto yesterday declared that BTTR was going to resume regular
patrols in the Florida Straits because "we know that things are happening
[in recent weeks] and we should be there." Tomorrow the group plans to drop
a wreath at the site of the February shootdowns.
-- We and ~tate are in contact with FAA to ensure that the BTTR pilots
receive the usual required safety/legal briefings before flying tomorrow, .
and we're ensuring that FAA; Customs and Joint Staffhave radars on during
the flight to monitor events and react as necessary.
-- Basulto's reference to recent events-- which have been related to
alien-smuggling and hijackings --has compounded State's anxiety. (FYI: ·
There is highly/highly circumstantial evidence that BTTR had advance word
ofexit from Cuba of the boat that capsized with 29 aboard on August 12.)
State may consult with FAA and Justice on how BTTR might respectfully and
gently be reminded ofits obligation to steer clear ofany illicit activity.
-- If given publicity on the island, Basulto's comments could encourage
Cubans to attempt seaborne migration. However, State's statement yesterday
reaffirming U.S. commitment to the Migration Accords-- including
prosecution of hijackers and alien-smugglers -- should help manage the

one if Sandy hasn't seen it yet.--F
for SANDY from Fulton and Rob
Latest on Brothers to the Rescue plan to resume "patrols" tomorrow:
-- BTTR will hold a press conference at Opa Locka Airport at 10:30 a.m.
to formally an:nounce resumption of operations. Apparently referring to
recent capsized boat and hijacking, Basulto told the press, "We know that
things are happening and we should be there."
-~No flight plan has been filed yet, but Basulto yesterday said they
·would fly (he as a passenger) to the sites of the February shootdown to drop
wreaths into the water. Both locations are south of the 24th parallel, but
we have no indication of intention to enter Cuban airspace.
--Per SOP, FAA will give BTTR pilots full safety/legal briefings in
person before flight and give Cuban air traffic control appropriate heads-up
when flight plan below 24th parallel is received. Because Basulto's
.statement received press play, State Department has mentioned plans to Cuban
Interests Section during conversation on other matters.
-- SitRoom will keep us and you informed as appropriate during the day.

for SANDY
Jose Basulto yesterday declared that BTTR was going to resume regular
patrols in the Florida Straits because "we know that things are happening
[in recent weeks] and we should be there." Tomorrow the group plans to drop
a ~eath at the site of the February shootdowns.
-- We and State are in contact with FAA to ensure that the BTTR pilots
receive the usual required safety/legal briefings before· flying tomorrow,
and we're ensuring that FAA, Customs and Joint Staff have radars on during
.the flight to monitor events and react as necessary.
-- Basulto's reference to recent events_.; which have been related to
alien-smuggling and hijackings --has compounded State's anxiety. (FYI:
There is highly/highly circumstantial evidence that BTTR had advance word
of exit from Cuba of the boat that capsized with 29 aboard on August 12.)
State may consult with FAA and Justice on how BTTR might respectfully and
gently be reminded of its obligation to steer clear of any illicit' activity.
�321E1ABO.FIN

-- If given publicity on the island, Basulto's comments could encourage
Cubans to attempt seaborne migration. However, State's statement yesterday
reaffirming U.S. commitment to the Migration Accords-- inCluding
prosecution of hijackers and alien-s~ugglers -- should help manage the
reaction. Radio Marti has agreed to give the USG statement prominent play.

SUBJECT: Proposed INS Exercise in South Florida
Background
In 1994, Governor Chiles asked the federal government to
undertake a
thorough review of its plans for dealing with a potential mass
migration from the Caribbean and, in particular, to enhance U.S.
· readiness by holding a series of simulation exercises. The •
Governor's request grew out of his serious concern with federal
.management of the Mariel and 1994 Cuban migration crisis. In
�Page 2 of4
32F134F6.FIN
response, and pursuanfto the Attorney General's direction, the
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has organized a
·series of
·
planning and mock exercises since 1995. INS has scheduled the
largest such exercise for February 25-27 in South Florida. It
would
involve roughly 100 representatives from various U.S. agencies
. and
will be conducted in conjunction with the State of Florida.
Note: Similar exercises have been held on the Southwest border..
Assumptions and Plans for the Exercise
The INS exercises are premised on current U.S. policy: (1) to
seek
to intercept illegal migrants; (2) to initiate refugee
processing;
(3) to repatriate non-refugees to their country of origin; (4) if
the
magnitude of the crisis were to overwhelm the processing capacity
of
the Coast Guard and the INS, to transfer migrants to safe-havens;
and (5) in the event some migrants were to evade interception or
were
.
brought to the U.S. because oflack of space at the safe-haven,
to
detain them and place them in exclusion proceedings.
The February exercise is designed to focus on two of these
aspects.
First, it will test the INS' ability to expand shipboard refugee
processing in the event of a massive increase in the number of
migrants. Twenty-five asylum officers will conduct mock
interviews on
board Coast Guard vessels. Second, it will test the
inter-agency's
plans to deal with vast numbers of migrants who reach our shores.
This portion will require the participation of roughly 100
representatives from various U.S. agencies who will run through
the
different stages of onshore processing in coordination with state
officials, including expanding our detention capacity nationwide
and
transporting the migrants to various detention centers.
Governor Chiles strongly believes that the exercise ought to take
place, both to bolster USG preparedness and, with memories of ·
Mariel
�Page 3 of4
32F 134F6.FIN
and 1994 still vivid, to demonstrate to South Floridians that in
the
future the federal government would be ready to respond.
Risks and Proposals to Manage Them
While the exercise is not designed to be nationality-specific, it
inevitably will be perceived as directed at Cubans. This
presents
particular risks given the sensitivity of the Cuban migration
lSSUe
on the island and in the United
State~.
0 Sending the wrong message to Cubans: The focus of the exercise
on
the detention of migrants who reach the United States could be
interpreted as signaling either an end to the
mterdiction/repatriation policy announced in 1995 or our
expectation
of an imminent mass migration. These perceptions, in turn, could
potentially increase migration pressures on the island. The risk
should be minimized by an effort to downplay coverage of the
exercise and to reiterate the basic and ongoing elements of our
policy both in Miami and on Radio Marti. (As a result of State
and
NSC/staff expressions of concern about the visibility of the
exercise, the Attorney General has agreed not to participate.)
0 Sending the wrong message to the Cuban-American community: The
exercise is scheduled to take place a day after the one-year
commemoration of the Cuban shootdown during which members of the
Cuban-American community are expected to organize a flotilla.
The
coincidence ofthe two events raises two concerns: First, holding
an exercise predicated on the detention of Cuban migrants could
be
viewed as insensitive; second, Coast Guard assets might be needed
to deal with the flotilla and therefore would be unavailable for .
the exercise. You should know that State (Tarnoff) originally
sought such a change but ultimately chose not to press the issue
when informed that a move would require significant adjustments
by
.
.
the Justice Department.
0 Sending the wrong message to Cuba: The government of Cuba could
react negatively to an exercise premised on a mass migration,
especially given that it has made every effort to date to prevent
such an occurrence. State agrees that USINT would need to brief
the GOC ahead of time and inform it that the exercise was neither
Cuba-directed, nor based on the expectation of an imminent crisis.
�Page 4 of4
32F134F6.FIN
OPTIONS
1. Maintain current plans: The exercise would proceed as
scheduled
on Feburary 25. Media, members of Congress, and members of
Florida's .
various communities would be briefed in advance on its purpose.
2. Change the date: We would request thatiNS move the date so
as
not to coincide with the one-year commemoration of the shootdown.
3. Cancel or scale back the exercise.

TEXT BODY
Please pass to Tony and Sandy;
In the year-long CR (which is scheduled to be wrapped up this week, maybe as
soon as Wednesday), there is language that would force Radio Marti
headquarters to move from Washington to Miami· by August 1. Members have
not
been negotiating over thisissue since both the House and Senate passed
identical language, and in discussions Nuccio had a few weeks ago with
Sandy, the inclination was if we had to pick a fight with the Cuban-American
community this year, better to save our ammo for the fight over the
composition of the Radio Marti board. Duffey sent a mildly written letter
�317BEBE2.FIN
Page 2 of2
expressing opposition to the move. Now, however, the Broadcasting Board is
getting energized (possibly too late) and has been in contact with some
Democratic members ofthe Cuban-American community who oppose the move.
They may be calling Tony to raise this (apparently Tony had a dinner with
some Cuban-Americans not too long ago and some in this group may be the ones
to call). Panetta and OMB are getting close to the finish line in their
negotiations with the Hill on the CR, so if we want to raise this, we may
not have much time.

RICHARD FEINBERG
-ROBERT B. MORLEY
PropoSed Remarks by the President on Cuba's
Independence Day, May 20
Radio Marti, via USIA, has proposed that the President address
the Cuban people on May 20, Cuba's traditional Independence Day,
via Radio Marti.
Neither we nor State concur in this
recommendation.
Elements of the Cuban community in the United States support such
a statement, including some Members of Congress.
Congressman
Menendez (D-NJ) reportedly told State Deputy Assistant Secretary
Gelbard a few days ago that he strongly supported a recqrded ·
statement and that his understanding was that the White House had
agreed to do so. We are unable to find anyone in the White House
who can confirm this.
In the past the President has sometimes, but not always, issued a
statement commemorating the May 20 Cuban Independence Day.
For
example, according to the State Department statements were issued
in 1985, 1986, 1991 ahd 1992· but they have no evidenc~ statements
were issued in the intervening years, or that the President has
ever made an Iridependence Day statement this elaborate.
We recommend that no recorded statement be issued this year and
certainly not one as long as that suggested by USIA. Assuming
that some statement is considered advisable for political
reasons, we then suggest a shorter statement for attribution to
the President. From a foreign policy point of view a statement
such as that proposed by USIA, the first policy speech by the
President with a Latin American focus since his inauguration,
would reinforce Latin views that we are preoccupied with Cuba and
less concerned about the rest of the hemisphere. We would prefer
that the ·President's first speech to the hemisphere be delivered
in a more positive context, e.g., to tte OAS General Assembly in
June or during the forthcoming Washington visit of President
Menem of Argen~ina.
�2
As you know, there is no consensus within the Cuban-American
community on policy toward Cuba.
Some want a tougher line while
others advocate reconciliatio~ with Castro. We have prepared a
draft statement for attribution to the President which draws on
remarks he has made in the past on Cuba and his Cuba policy.
It
represents a middle ground not likely to be completely acceptable
to the hard-liners but also not likely to offend those who want
rapprochement with Castro.
We have redone the statement at Tab A as your requested.
RECOMMENDATION
That you authorize Will Itoh to inform USIA that we do not concur
in their recommendation that the President make a statement on
May 20 to mark Cuban Independence Day.

�INFORMAL REMARKS BY "THE PRESIDENT
We join all Cubans today in celebrating this, the 9lst
anriiversary of Cuban independence.
Just
~s
the Cuban people
persevered in their struggle for independence nearly a century
ago, a new generation of Cribans today are struggling against the
Castro regime for freedom and democracy and the American people
stand by them.
History has now handed down its unequivocal verdict that
communism is not only inhumane but also unworkable.
As millions
around the globe have cast off communism's strangling yoke, it is
a
sad fact that the Castro regime continues to choke the free
spirit and productive capacity of the Cuban people by imposing
this failed and anachronistic ideology.
The people of Cuba deserve to be free to determine their own
future by expiessing their will in free elections.
They also
deserve to be free of abuse at the hands of the Castro
government.
My Administration seeks a rapid and peaceful
transition to democracy in Cuba so all Cubans can enjoy the
blessings of freedom.
That is why I have supported
measure~
like
the Cuba Democracy Act to strengthen our embargo while permitting
humanitarian assistance to non-government organizations in Cuba.
I am honored to recognize today the more than one million CubanAmericans for their success in rebuilding their lives in the
�United States, their contributions to our country and culture,
and their commitment to freedom and democracy in their homeland.
As I
look out on you and the great community you represent, I·see
a mirror of America.
Like others from all over the world, you or
your parents or your grandparents came to the United States
fleeing oppression, looking for a better life.
America offered
all Df us the gift of freedom, and we will always be grateful for
that gift.
When you came to America, you rolled up your sleeves and worked
from dusk to dawn.
started
businesses~
You were resourceful and talented.
You
entered the ranks of the legal, medical and
other professions, sent people to Congress and became great
artists and athletes.
With your energy and talent, you helped
transform the economy of South Florida so that it now produces
more than Cuba under the Castro government.
You helped change
cities such as Miami into centers of trade and·commerce, created
thousands of businesses and jobs, and deeply influenced American
music, art, film and literature.
It would be futile for me to attempt to list all of the
contributions.made to America by members of the free Cuban
community.
You have made contributions in all walks of life.
Musicians such as Gloria Estefan, Arturo Sandoval, Celia Cruz and
Paquito Rivero;
writers and authors such as Herberto Padilla,
Liz Balmaseda and Christiana Garcia; prominent citizens like
�Ramon and Polita Grau, Bishop Augustin Roman, Josefina Carbonell
and Orestes Lorenzo; political leaders such as Bob Menendez,
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Lincoln Diaz-Balart; business leaders
such as Roberto Guizueta and Marcelino Miyares; educators such as
Eduardo Padron; all enriched our lives beyond measure.
Cuban-Americans have made countless contributions to our nation.
But you did somethin~ more.
You never fbrgot Cuba.
tnstead, you
held on to the hope that some day soon, freedom will be restored
to the Cuban people on the island that you love and remember as
home.
My Administration is committed to working with the peoples of
this hemisphere to construct a genuine community of democracies,
a community where open markets and accountable, democratic
governments provide the foundation for freedom and everincreasing prosperity.
When Cuba is free again, we shall welcome
her to this community with an open hand and an open heart.
And
when democracy returns to Cuba, I promise you I shall go to Cuba,
meet with its new, democratic leaders and, on behalf of the
American people, help usher in a new age of hope and peace for
the Cuban people.
Thank you.

�Even though there is the presence of internal disputes by
diverse political groups who influence the news and the
programs, this is only part of the problems at R~dio Marti.
This specific problem has turned the mission of this station
from one that was informative to one that is now simply
advertisements, in many cases.
Radio Marti has served to
"form" and/or "create" political figures towards Cuban with
a look into the future, and in accordance with the interests
of internal groups who represent internal factions.
There are other problems
These being, administrative
aspects:
emerging within this chapter.
corruption which has various
1. Favoritism towards certain persons of the part of the
Management.
This favoritism has manifested in the
selection of the personnel supervisor and executive who
was selected and assigned, without having the
professional, technical and administrative
-~
capabilities required for the position.
In many cases,
persons are given the supervisory positions even though
these persons
have
no
knowledge
of
the
history or geography of Cuba.
These persons loose
their objectivity and the reasoning and sense for which
the station for Radio Marti was created, and respond
only to the interests of the Management, influenced, at
the same time by internal and external groups.
2. The discrimination is aimed towards the real
professionals who have many years of experience and ample
knowledge about Cuba and its subject matter. Knowing of
course, that these professionals do not and will not take
and/or for part of any group that fights and struggles
internally for power. These professionals respond only
to the specific mission of Radio Marti. However, these
professionals are not given the opportunity to hold
supervisory positions. THE FAVORITISM AND DISCRIMINATION
OF RADIO·MARTI VIOLATE Clauses One, Three, Four, Nine and
Ten -- directly and indirectly -- of the Code ~f Ethics
of the service of the Government. They also violate the
spirit of the law created by Radio Marti which is known
as the "RADIO. BROADCASTING CUBA ACT,• which specifies
under the CHAPTER- FINDINGS: PURPOSES- Sec. 2, (3): that
such broadcasting to Cuba, operated in a aanner not
inconsistent with the broad foreign policy of he United
states and iri accordance with high professional
standards would be in national interest .and (4) that the
--·
�'.
voice of America already broadcasts to·Cuba information
that represents Alllerica, not any single segment of
American Society, and includes a balanced and.
comprehensive projection of significant American thought
and institutions but that ther~ is a need.for broadcasts
to ~uba which provide news, commentary and other
information about events in Cuba and elsewhere to promote
the cause of freedom in Cuba. They also violate CHAPTER
-ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES INFORMATION
AGENCY Sec. 3 (a) and (b).
The Board for Radio Marti Broadcasting to Cuba has not
complied with its establishment and reason for ~stablishment
in Sec. 5 (b) by not revising the mentioned situation which
has taken affectivity from Radio Marti and have left it to
function, while having knowledge of the group conflicts, and
under the sup~rvision of unqualified persons.
The sentenced-censure by the Democratic group in exercised
iadio
Marti
by direct omission.
Information and
interviews are not aired after they have been
made.
Programs, and
including, artists, are eliminated without
justification in some cases . . The explanation given is that
they are outside the policy, which is not true.
·
ifi-
IRREGUI.ARITIES:
1. The harassments, reprisals, and persecutions, which
are an abuse·of their power, is found to be a common
action with some supervisors working ~or Radio Marti
when their employees disagree with their point of view.
The evaluations these supervisors give to the employees
who disagree with their ~oint of view are poor in order
to keep the employ or employees from being noticed and .
from moving ahead. ,
2. The majority of the department management positions have
been given without having publicizing a l~tter of
convocation in the press as required by law. The
convocation between the employees of Radio Marti
for those positions have been given with very little
notice so that those on the internal side aspiring the
position cannot apply for the position within the
established limits. Finally, the position has been held
open for one year before naming the person who the
management has imposed; a person with poor professional
capabilities and experience, even though there.were
�3
others who were more qualified, applying for the sam ·
position. As a result, the professional level continues
to decay and the station is performing at a minimum.
3. Some of the contracts ascend to many thousands of dollars
Many of the programs that are purchased, could be done by
using personnel from Radio Marti, yet instead, programs
are being purchased at high costs in the street, thereby
needlessly wasting the tax payers money.
Also, portions
of these programs, which should have been completed when
purchased, have to be completed at Radio Marti with the
use of technical nd human resources and by using up
regular station time.
Persons with high positions perform minimal amounts of
work and he heavy load falls on those who are below the~.
4. ·Being that usually the supervisor~ are less capable than
those who they supervise, the atmosphere of
discontentment and demoralization grows greater each day.
--~·
5. On many occasions the employees have turned to the legal
means of Radio Marti to expose their problems and
concerns, however, have resolved nothing because one way
or another the management and sub-management have
intervened, thereby frustrating the employees. These
employees have been later been persecuted and threatened,
as there are in existence in Radio Marti a number of
employees "EXCEPTED SERVICE" who have been advised that
they could be terminated at any moment.
The programming has impoverished notably within the last 2
years due the lack of capability and experience of the
Management and supervisors~ Cubans who arrive to the United
States point out that the programming has parted quite a
ways from the needs of the Cuban population.On numercnus occasions the sub.,-management of Radio Marti has
shown preference by contracting young personnel even if they
lacked experience, without considering older experienced
personnel; age ~iscrimination.
·
The raining hand for Radio Marti has been informed
and
has
�4
knowledge of all the problems at Radio Marti, and has not
solved thes~· problems, and has instead elongated same,
Understand this: Office of Transmissions to Cuba, management
of Radio Marti.
The personnel of Radio Marti want the files and records
revised and reviewed and want professional and experienced
managers and supervisors. Let the favoiitism disappear.
Stop the discrimination and violatio~s. No disctimination
and no censuring. The personnel of Radio Marti also aspire
in hopes that an in depth audit with outside persons or
companies not related to the functionaries of Radio Marti be
conducted. The chapters for overtime have been handled with
irregularity in favor of some employees and against others.
The employees would also like to have the records and files
revised and reviewed to find out why some employees have
been promoted, while others who are more qualified have not
been promoted or recognized.
