Early RFE-backer President Dwight Eisenhower meets with RFE Director C. Rodney Smith

A sound recording made May 3, 1952, of retired admiral Harold B. "Min" Miller was recently discovered in Hoover's Radio Free Europe records. In the recording, Miller, president of the Nation Committee for a Free Europe, announces the launch of RFE's broadcasts from Munich, Germany, to Poland. Digitally restored by Hoover Archives' audio preservation staff, the recording can be heard once again.
