Associated Press
MUNICH, West Germany —
James L. Buckley, president of Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty, will resign before year’s end, the station said Friday.
Spokesman Bill Mahoney said the former New York senator cited his age, 62, as one for leaving the U.S.-financed station that broadcasts news and commentary to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. When Buckley took over the station in the summer of 1982, he said he would step down after two or three years.
