The United States International Communication Agency in response to a Reagan Administration desire to counter Soviet propaganda, in 1981 began a new effort of its own called ''Project Truth."  Charles Z. Wick, the USCIA's director, was tasked with overseeing his agency working with the Central Intelligence Agency and the State and Defense Departments to gather  ''evidence'' for the project.

Press guidance at the time said that ''Project Truth'' ws designed to provide a fast-reply service to posts abroad when rumors or news reports about American activity thought to be untrue begin to circulate.
