Studies of the United States Information Agency and the process of evolution and extinction of the reasons for the establishment have great value. This paper is divided into three parts on this subjectPart I is that entire course of history developing evolution and the activity that it carries out mainly have been in progress to U.S. Information Agency comment that. The President Eisenhower period founds U.S. Information Agency formally , one changes until it has all happened during each presidents during President Clinton. its Changes of function and open-minded activity.happened also unceasingly with the cold war change ,. a variety of external exchange carried out by U.S. Information Agency are for better propagating serves and a mean of hegemony the world.The second part is divided into three sections to elaborate the reasons for the establishment of the United States Information Agency.

In the Second World War,the United States established a publicity propaganda departments against Nazi Germany,which helped the United States win the war accelerated the victory. Accumulation of external propaganda work experience have played a positive role, but a number of government departments to publicize spread to the United States. the publicity has caused confusion and inefficiency in the present system.We will discuss activties of the early stage of the Cold War in the end of the secodd war .At this stage , the Americandomestic many people opposed the government retains these organ again, the foreign propaganda organ scale is reduced, the personnel massively drains, financial allocation also largely reduces,the American foreign propaganda starts to face the aspect whichweakens. The third section, with the outbreak of the Cold War, a U.S.-Soviet confrontation shows .the foreign propaganda has been re-up. Members of Parliament begin to study the Information Services Department, then pass the "Smith -- Montt Act" for the United States to lay a legal foundation. Truman's "truth of war" and McCarthyism in the United States have accelerated the restructuring of foreign propaganda organ. When Eisenhower became president, he established department which fully carris out foreign propaganda——the United States Information Agency.The third part is that analysis the reasons for the demise of the United States Information Agency.
