"THE FRIENDS OF THE VOICE OF AMERICA

"Non-partisan and non-profit, the Friends of the Voice of
America (FOVOA) is made up of serving and retired VOA employees
and members of the general public who support the Voice of
America and its role in international broadcasting.  The
organization seeks to increase public awareness of, and support
for, the VOA;  to encourage and enhance VOA professionalism;
and to provide a non-official forum for the discussion of
international broadcasting issues.

"Formed February 9, 1990, the Friends of the Voice of America is
immediately concerned with the preservation of six VOA languages
slated for termination April 1, 1990 [NB:  this decision was
recently rescinded].

"FOVOA is urging that VOA be adequately funded to meet the
challenges and opportunities of the 1990's.

"The acting chairman of FOVOA and its public spokeman is Allan
E. Baker who was Chief of the VOA's Near East and South Asia
Division from 1970 until his retirement in 1982.  Mr. Baker may
be reached at (301) 530-4821."
