observer1In “The entourage” section of “UK clears its decks for the Obama show” (News, last week), we said representatives of “the Immigration and Naturalisation Service” (INS) and “the US Information Agency” (USIA) would accompany President Obama on his European tour. The USIA was closed in October 1999 when its information functions were incorporated into the State Department and its broadcasting services consolidated into the Broadcasting Board of Governors. The INS ceased to exist in March 2003 with most of its functions transferring to the Department of Homeland Security. Link
