Presidentially appointed panel created by Congress in 1948 to provide 
oversight of U.S. Government activities intended to understand, inform 
and influence foreign publics. The Commission reports its findings and 
recommendations to the President, the Congress and the Secretary of 
State and the American people. Current commission members include 
Harold Pachios of Maine, who is the chairman; Charles Dolan of 
Virginia, who is the vice chairman; Penne Percy Korth of Washington, 
D.C.; Lewis Manilow of Illinois; and Maria Elena Torano of Florida.
