    Since 1948, the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy has 
represented the public interest by overseeing the United States 
government's international information, media, cultural, and 
educational exchange programs. The Commission is a bipartisan and 
independent body created by Congress to recommend policies and programs 
in support of U.S. government efforts to inform and influence foreign 
publics. It is mandated by law to assess the work of the State 
Department and to report its findings and recommendations to the 
President, the Congress, the Secretary of State, and the American 
people.
    The Commission consists of seven members appointed by the 
President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The 
members of the Commission represent the public interest and shall be 
selected from a cross-section of educational, communications, cultural, 
scientific, technical, public service, labor, business, and 
professional backgrounds. Not more than four members shall be from any 
one political party. The President designates a member to chair the 
Commission.
    The current members of the Commission are Mr. Sim Farar of 
California, Chairman; Mr. William Hybl of Colorado, Vice Chairman; 
Ambassador Penne Korth-Peacock of Texas; Anne Terman Wedner of 
Illinois; and Ms. Georgette Mosbacher of New York. Two seats on the 
Commission are currently vacant.
