Hello, dear radio listeners! You've already had the opportunity to listen, on the above mentioned radio wave, to the live broadcast of the second session of the 21st Congress of the Lithuanian Communist Party, which was held on June 12 of this year. Let me remind you that that was TARYBŲ LIETUVA radio station. From today on, this station is on the air again, and will broadcast continuously. It will operate every working day at 14 and 19 hours. We will broadcast in Lithuanian, Russian, and later in Polish as well.

It is meaningful that TARYBŲ LIETUVA radio station begins its transmissions on the eve of the 28th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. From now on, this wave will bring you the voice of Lithuanian communists, whose activities are based upon ideas of Marx-Engels-Lenin, which express interests of the working class, peasants, intelligentsia, and other strata of the society. It will be the voice of internationalists, coming out in favor of Lithuania's socialist choice, in favor of the communist prospect. By means of this radio wave, we'll try to explain the aims of the Communist Party, taking into account national, economic, cultural, and other differences of our republic. We will speak against the rising anti-socialist tendencies, against attempts to restore capitalism and exploit people, against reprivatisation of the means of production, and restoration of the totalitarian regime. We will defend the man from any encroachment on his vital interests and civil rights.

TARYBŲ LIETUVA radio station begins its transmissions in complicated political and economic conditions. But we are sure that it will become an important factor in the perestroika process of the republic, and will help the working people of Soviet Lithuania to fight for better economic and spiritual life, to develop real democracy, to ensure social justice, to unite creative forces for interests of the whole society. We are determined, together with you, dear radio listeners, to do everything to let this radio wave to consolidate communists, all the progressive strata of our society, for the creation of human and democratic socialism.
