The Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, congratulates Voice of America (VOA) on the 70th anniversary of VOA broadcasting to China. The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), a federal agency which manages VOA, tried to end all VOA radio and television broadcasts in Mandarin and Cantonese on Oct. 1, 2011, but a bipartisan action in Congress blocked this plan. On Dec. 6, 2011, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher hosted a large reception on Capitol Hill to mark the 70th anniversary of VOA broadcasting to China. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen also attended the reception.
