March 8, 1952	Voice of America Views of Radio Liberty Broadcasting Voice of America Director Foy Kohler argues that without the formation of a Russian émigré political center enabling “Russians speaking to Russians," Radio Liberty would be a "bad imitation of VOA."
December 21, 1951	George Kennan’s Views on Radio Liberty Office of Policy Coordination officers visit Princeton to solicit George Kennan’s views on Radio Liberty broadcasting
November 20, 1951	CIA-State Department “Summit” Limits Scope of Radio Free Europe Assistant Secretary of State Edward Barrett reviews Free Europe Committee plans with Allen Dulles and other officials. The State Department vetoes startup of Radio Free Europe Baltic broadcasting on grounds that it would duplicate Voice of America broadcasts and insists that the Crusade for Freedom be toned down. Dulles subsequently rejects the latter point in a handwritten annotation.
September 6, 1951	CIA-State Department Reservations about Broadcasting to the Soviet Union Senior CIA and State Department officials review the August 21 OPC memorandum ["Office of Policy Coordination History of American Committee for Liberation"]. The State Department officials question whether disparate Russian émigré groups can cooperate enough to organize broadcasting to the USSR, while CIA director Walter Bedell Smith questions the cost of the project.
August 27, 1951	Office of Policy Coordination Memorandum on Russian Emigration OPC provides the State Department with a positive progress report on efforts to unify the Russian emigration and organize broadcasting to the USSR.
August 25, 1951	Radio Liberty Objectives Outlined An Office of Policy Coordination officer explains Radio Liberty aims and objectives as involving “Russians speaking to Russians through an organization made up of the peoples of Russia.”
August 21, 1951	Office of Policy Coordination History of American Committee for Liberation Frank Wisner reviews the origins of the Soviet émigré project. He considers AMCOMLIB to be a cover organization without independent authority, notes the difficulty of uniting Soviet émigré groups, yet assumes that an émigré “political center” can organize publishing and broadcasting for the Soviet Union.
January 11, 1951	Radio Free Europe Budget Increase Approved Allen Dulles (who has joined CIA as Deputy Director for Plans) informs Frank Wisner that CIA has approved RFE’s capital budget for new transmitters.
November 22, 1950	Wisner Update on Radio Free Europe Frank Wisner reviews RFE broadcasting after 5 months and notes a shift from use of exile leaders “of questionable current value” to “timely news items and commentary.” He foreshadows expansion of broadcast hours and shift of program production to West Germany.
August 21, 1950	Office of Policy Coordination and Kennan Discussion of the American Committee for Liberation Frank Wisner solicits George Kennan’s suggestions on the organization of AMCOMLIB (cryptonym Cinderella) and the composition of its board of directors.
