Good News From Washington

This week the administration changed its mind and decided to support the continuation of Save America's Treasures funding.  The original budget for FY 2002 eliminated the funding, but a supplemental request to Congress now asks that $30,000,000 for the program be restored.  An article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal said that First Lady Laura Bush supports the program.  Although funding will not be final until appropriations bills are passed in the fall, having administration support is a HUGE plus!  If you have questions or would like additional information, feel free to reply to this e-mail.
