The annual budget of the Freedom News Network shall consist of the following: A grant described in section 110, consisting of the total grants to RFE/RL, Incorporated, Radio Free Asia, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Incorporated before the date of the enactment of this Act. Any grants or transfers from other Federal agencies. Other funds described in subsection (b). The Freedom News Network may, to the extent authorized by its board and in accordance with applicable laws and the mission of the Freedom News Network under section 212 and eligible broadcast areas under section 6, collect and utilize non-Federal funds, except that the Freedom News Network may not accept funds from the following:
Any foreign governments or foreign government officials. Any agents, representatives, or surrogates of any foreign government or foreign government official. Any foreign-owned corporations or any subsidiaries of any foreign-owned corporation, regardless of whether such subsidiary is United States-owned. Any foreign national or individual who is not either a citizen or a legal permanent resident of the United States. The Freedom News Network shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and the United States International Communications Agency an annual strategic plan to satisfy the requirements specified in section 110.
Each such strategic plan shall outline the following: The strategic goals and objectives of the Freedom News Network for the upcoming fiscal year. The alignment of the Freedom News Network’s resources with the strategic goals and objectives referred to in paragraph (1). Clear benchmarks that establish the progress made towards achieving the strategic goals and objectives referred to in paragraph (1). A plan to monitor and evaluate the success of the Freedom News Network’s broadcasting efforts.
A reflective analysis on the activities on the past fiscal year. Any changes to facility leases, contracts, or ownership that would result in the relocation of staff or personnel. Any changes to broadcast languages, including the transfer of language services to the Freedom News Network from the United States International Communications Agency, or to an organization other than the Freedom New Network. It is the sense of Congress that administrative and managerial costs for operation of the Freedom News Network should be kept to a minimum and, to the maximum extent feasible, should not exceed the costs that would have been incurred if RFE/RL, Incorporated, Radio Free Asia, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Incorporated had been operated as independent grantees or as a Federal entity within the Voice of America.
