Further, it honors those at Radio and TV Mart&iacute;, 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.</p>]]></text>
