From Times Staff and Wire Reports

In an unexpected move, a House Appropriations subcommittee voted to halt all funding of TV Marti, experimental television broadcasting aimed at Cuba. The panel voted 6-5 to delete the $19.8 million designated for the program from the U.S. Information Agency’s 1992 appropriation. Rep. Bill Alexander (D-Ark.) called TV Marti “ineffectual” and a Cold War relic. Cuba has jammed the transmissions.
