IMPARTIAL BROADCASTS? - (LETTER TO THE EDITOR, NEW YORK TIMES, JULY 3):

"The Armstrong Williams NewsHour," by Frank Rich (column, June 27) by deploying
the word "propaganda," does a great disservice to the more than 140 million

Board of Governors -- the federal body that supervises all nonmilitary
international United States media outlets, Voice of America included -- for
their reliable news and information.
