  Just to point out that RFE/RL will not be closed, but that it’s broadcasts will be restricted if and when they stop broadcasting on Public Radio. Of course, the next thing of concern is whether political pressure is applied through the TV & Radio Committee on those private stations which do increase the number of RFE/RL broadcasts even if they only cover at maximum 60 percent of the country. I think it’s the next logical step the authorities will take and probably through the re-introduction of a notorious bill, which aims to increase the cost of the transmission of foreign programs and which originally failed to pass through lack of quorum in parliament, in the Autumn/Fall.
