Contact Congress Now About Museum Funding

The United States House of Representatives is considering a Continuing Resolution that would fund the Federal government through the end of the current fiscal year. As many as 500 amendments may be considered on the House floor.

It appears that Representative Robert Goodlatte (R-VA) will offer an amendment (#471) which would place a "Limitation on Funds for Non-Federal Museums." If adopted, none of the funds appropriated, or otherwise made available, by the Continuing Resolution could be used to fund non-Federal museums. This amendment would apply to all agency funding for FY 2011. This amendment could significantly hinder research across the nation.

Please contact your Representative immediately to urge him/her to oppose the Goodlatte Amendment #471. Please consider calling your member of Congress at 202-225-3121. Letters may also be sent via the AIBS Legislative Action Center at http://capwiz.com/aibs/issues/alert/?alertid=29348541 <http://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=5b56bf5d01&e=bcde813dc2> .
