Notes
The black and white prints of RFE/RL were donated to OSA by the Hoover Institute, California in year 2015. The images are duplicates of those held at Hoover. The originals, and most probably the negatives are with the donor as well. OSA only received the paper prints with captions, and digitized the entire collection in year 2018.

Contents Summary
Jutta Hillmayer, wearing casual clothes, is working at a row of tape recorders in the Audio Section at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, where news from other broadcasters are taped and edited for use of RFE programs. There are stacks of Scotch 3M tapes on top of the machines, and pieces of tapes on the floor which were discarded after editing. In the corner high up on the wall there is a speaker, and a picture of a soldier .

ORIGINAL CAPTION:

Here Jutta Hillmayer takes an incoming circuit from Washington and New York, providing sound cuts from breaking stories throughout the United States.
