"Attention, Radio Free Europe, hello attention. This is Roka speaking. The radio of revolutionary youth ...
continual bombing ... Help, help, help ... Radio Free Europe ... forward our request. Forward our news. Help!
Help!"

November 6, 13:52 hours:

"We appeal to the conscience of the world. ...Why cannot you hear the call for help of our murdered women and
children? Peoples of the world! Hear the call for help of a small nation! ... This is Radio Rakoczi, Hungary ...
Radio Free Europe, Munich! Radio Free Europe, Munich! Answer! Have you received our transmission?"

15:05 hours:

"... Attention, attention, Munich! Munich! Take immediate action. In the Dunapentele area we urgently need
medicine, bandages, arms, food and ammunition! Drop them for us by parachute."

And, finally, on November 7 at 09:35 hours:

"Must we appeal once again?

"Do you love liberty? ... So do we.

"Do you have wives and children? ... So have we.

"We have wounded ... who have given their blood for the sacred cause of liberty, but we have no bandages ... no
medicine ... And what shall we give to our children who are asking for bread? The last piece of bread has been
eaten.

"In the name of all that is dear to you ... we ask you to help ... Those who have died for liberty ... accuse you who
are able to help and who have not helped ... We have read an appeal to the UN and every honest man ...

"Radio Free Europe, Munich! Free Europe, Munich!"

* To intelligence officers, the term "black radio" can have a specialized meaning, to describe a radio that is
captured and then operated as if all were normal in order to deceive the opposition. The Germans successfully
undermined the British Operation Northpole during World War II by using this technique. Parachutists dropped
by British Intelligence were lured into traps by Dutch underground radios that had been captured by the Nazis. In
this chapter, however, the term is used in its broader sense, to describe radio operations in general where they are
controlled directly or indirectly by an intelligence apparatus.

* Less well known are the CIA's mimeographed summaries of the foreign press.

* The committee is now known as the Free Europe Committee, Inc., 2 Park Avenue, New York. The Crusade for
Freedom is now the Radio Free Europe Fund. The Committee engages in a multitude of other activities. It
publishes East Europe magazine (22.,000 copies a month) and works with Eastern European exile groups
"engaged in the struggle for eventual freedom of their countries." The Committee has five operating divisions:
RFE, Communist Bloc Operations, Exile Political Organizations, Free World Operations and West European
Operations.
