From our Fading Cold Warriors dossier, we learn that Bulgaria has stopped jamming broadcasts by Radio Free Europe--the last Warsaw Pact country to do so, a spokesman for the U.S. government-financed station said Tuesday. Spokesman Bob Redlich said the jamming was halted on Christmas Day. The programs had been scrambled by Bulgarian authorities ever since the station began broadcasting to Eastern Europe from Munich in the early 1950s, he said. Czechoslovakia suspended its jamming of Radio Free Europe 10 days ago and Poland in early 1987, he said.
