VOA and USAGM play a crucial role in providing independent news globally, especially in regions lacking access to reliable information. Their congressional mandate to deliver free and unbiased journalism worldwide must be upheld. I urge you to take a firm stance against any attempts to undermine or dismantle these vital institutions that uphold democratic values and press freedom. Preserving their independence is paramount for ensuring the free flow of accurate news transcending borders.
