Brown, James, III, sound recordings of interview by Puddington undated and 1996 April 10

Scope and Content Note

The 10 April 1996 phone interview concerns Jim Brown's career with Radio Free Europe, beginning with Brown's start in February 1957 through his directorship. Brown describes the circumstance in which he started at RFE. He says he did not intend to be an expert on Eastern European history; that he "stumbled into RFE," having left an academic magazine and simply needing a job. Remarking that he started in the aftermath of the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, he says that event changed a lot of things in RFE. Among other cultural changes, RFE became more interested in research. It wanted to get more facts, rather than propaganda. RFE believed that if a similar debacle ever happened again, it would be the end of RFE. Moreover, he mentions that after 1956, the atmosphere of the programming moved from liberation to gradualism. Eventually, years later, RFE would be really proud of its research product and advertised the academics, etc., that used its information. Much of the time is spent describing the internal culture of the organization. Brown remembers that employees would discuss amongst themselves their opinions about the various issues of the day. However, he notes that there were a series of interdepartmental "cold wars." When he became director, Brown credits himself with making RFE's approach more regional. That is, he thought the various services had been very provincial and only focused on its particular country. He tried to get them to emphasize that all those countries was a part of Europe just as the Western European democracies were. He says the Polish service was the most important service and set the pace for the rest of the organization. Another topic discussed in depth is RFE's connection to the Polish solidarity movement. Within that discussion, Brown credits the Polish church--among other organizations--as acting as a calming agent, as opposed to the more "incendiary" solidarity movement. He feels that together with the solidarity movement and calming agents, RFE helped to exploit cracks in the communist system. The men often discuss their colleagues from the organization, especially Robert Novak. Other items are mentioned in the discussion. RFE had a small Soviet section before the merger with Radio Liberty. Brown knew very little about the connection between RFE and the CIA, but says RFE had a lot of independence. At one point, Brown never thought RFE would bring down the Soviet empire. Finally, RFE had good relations with the consulate. Use copy reference number: 2001c73_a_0002971

The undated/1996 phone interview picks up where the April 1996 discussion left off. They discuss Brown's tenure as RFE director in the 1980s. Topics cover the Polish service; Shakespeare, James Buckley, William F. Buckley, and the BIB; why Brown left RFE over a disagreement over the Czechoslovakia desk; RFE's criticism of previous presidents as compared to Reagan; and various directors of RFE. 3 compact sound cassettes.
