RE: Action Request on House Appropriations

DATE: June 20, 1995

The House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Interior
voted today to fund the Advisory Council for Historic
Preservation (ACHP) with $1 million dollars in fiscal year 1996.
This decision is consistent with the subcommittee's desire to
ultimately eliminate funding for a number of agencies, including
ACHP. The next step in the process is for the full House
Appropriations Committee to mark up the subcommittee's bill; this
is scheduled for Thursday morning, June 22.

Please take immediate action to support full funding for the
Advisory Council. Here's what to do:

-- if you reside in the state of a member of the committee,
telephone the member's office immediately (even if you're not in
his or her district)

-- if you don't reside in a member's district, forward this
information to colleagues who are constituents of committee
members

Any member of Congress may be reached through the U.S. Capitol
switchboard by calling 202/224-3121. You may also wish to call
Chairman Bob Livingston at 202/225-3015 (or fax 202/225-0739).
Please make your contacts immediately; members of the committee
are listed below.
