USIA stands for the United States Information Agency. President Dwight D. Eisenhower created it as an independent foreign affairs agency within the executive branch in 1953. Its role is to help explain and support American foreign policy and promote U.S. national interests through a wide range of information programs and educational and cultural activities. A year after the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 was passed, it became part of the State Department.
