Recognizing the 25th anniversary of Radio Free Asia and its mission to provide an independent source of news to closed societies in Asia.

House Resolution 693 is a commemorative measure that officially recognizes the 25th anniversary of Radio Free Asia (RFA) and its role as a federally funded, independent news organization. The resolution honors the journalists who work to provide uncensored and accurate reporting to people living in countries with restricted press freedoms, such as China, North Korea, and Myanmar. While the resolution does not change federal law or provide new funding, it formally reaffirms the United States' commitment to supporting independent media and the free flow of information in closed societies.
