Except for the collection of East European newspapers in the Library of Congress, FEC's Research and Evaluation collection is the larges in the U.S., with consecutive issues dating back to 1950. The files hold over 3,000 categories of newspaper clippings, pamphlets and background information items. In 1959, this section handled approximately 7,600 inquiries. In addition, some 50 foreign-language news items and articles were translated into English. A unique service is provided by Research and Evaluation's Documentation Section which regularly receives and review 72 newspapers and 325 journals from Eastern Europe. It maintains a cumulative index to the contents of the publications, arranged by subject, covering significant articles and information contained in these newspapers and periodicals.
Free Europe Committee, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization, founded in 1949, supported by contributions of the American people to the Radio Free Europe Fund (formerly Crusade for Freedom). FEC operates two divisions: Radio Free Europe, the international network broadcasting 18 hours daily to Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, and 6 hours a day to Poland [cataloger's note: probably meant Bulgaria ]and Romania; and Free Europe Organizations and Publications (FEOP).
