	United States Information Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States Information Agency (USIA), which existed from 1953 to 1999, was a United States agency devoted to "public diplomacy." The term public diplomacy (q.v.) is closely related to the word "propaganda," possibly synonymous with it depending on how the latter word is defined.
		The agency was known as United States Information Service (USIS) overseas but could not use that abbreviation domestically to avoid confusion with the United States Immigration Service.
		The Foreign Affairs and Restructuring Act abolished the US Information Agency effective October 1, 1999, when its information (but not broadcasting) and exchange functions were folded into the Department of State under a new Bureau of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, headed by an under secretary.
