Scope and Content of Collection
The Arch Puddington papers, acquired in 2001, consist of correspondence, memoranda, microfiche, photographs, printed matter,
reports, and sound recordings relating to Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. They were used as research material for the
book by Arch Puddington,
Broadcasting Freedom: The Cold War Triumph of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty (Lexington, Kentucky, 2000). The collection includes records and photocopies of records of RFE/RL.
The bulk of the papers, contained in the Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty File, focus on the history of RFE/RL and its
broadcasting policy. The effectiveness of its programs, as determined by governments and listeners in different countries,
is reflected in Clippings and Printed Matter. Research Materials contains information relating to such issues as the beginnings,
purpose, and future of RFE/RL, waves of internal dissent weakening RFE/RL as an instrument of U.S. policy, the question of
its funding by the Central Intelligence Agency, and the role played by individuals and organizations in the activities of
RFE/RL.
The inclusion of a substantial number of sound recordings complement the series previously mentioned.
Arrangement
The collection is organized into 6 series: Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty File, Clippings and Printed Matter, Research

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. Use copy reference number: 2001c73_a_0002972
