Progress
Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary
This resolution celebrates the 35th anniversary of Radio and TV Martí and recognizes the role that broadcasting to Cuba serves in providing outside information to the Cuban people. Further, it honors those at Radio and TV Martí, administered through the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, for their commitment and dedication to informing the Cuban people, and it reaffirms the importance of U.S. policies supporting the transmission of external, reliable, objective information to some of the most repressed parts of the world.
