The bill amends the 1948 Information and Educational Exchange Act to clarify that the Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) may prepare and distribute information about the United States abroad, but domestic dissemination is prohibited except under specific conditions. After 12 years from the initial foreign release—or if the material was never released abroad—the USAGM CEO may provide the content to the Archivist for domestic distribution, with the agency reimbursed for related costs. The Archivist is tasked with regulating access, ensuring rights and licenses are secured, and collecting fees that are deposited into the National Archives Trust Fund. Additionally, the bill revises the Foreign Relations Authorization Act to ban USAGM from influencing U.S. public opinion and from distributing program material within the United States, except for programs under the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 . The amendment preserves the ability of USAGM employees to answer public inquiries about agency operations. It also clarifies that the prohibition does not apply to content already prepared for foreign audiences. The overall effect is to tighten domestic control over USAGM’s media output while maintaining a pathway for archival access after a defined period.
