TUESDAY, JUNE 24 (Another Alert FAX received gives the date as THURSDAY
the 24th) is the next milestone in this year's NEA,NEH,IMS budget
process. On that day the entire House Appropriations Committee will
convene for its mark-up hearing.
Yesterday the Interior Subcommittee of Appropriations affirmed the plan of
Sub-Committee Chair Ralph Regula (R-OH) to leave the NEA with only $10
million for next year. Sidney Yates (D-IL) was successful in his motion to
strike wording that stated that the funds were for the sole purpose of
"orderly closure", but his additional motion to add $89.5 million back in
the budget failed. The votes of the sub-committee members are recorded
below. (+ indicates support for the NEA and - indicates a vote against).
As the case moves to the full Appropriations Committee for markup on the
24th (or 26th) it will be important for you to contact your Representative
if he or she sits on the committee. The contact Information below is
ordered by state for easy access. Again +++++ and ----- refers to the vote
already taken in the sub-committee.
Although the sub-committee vote was along party lines, it is important to
note that many Republicans ARE supportive of our cultural endowments and
many Democrats have traditionally voted AGAINST public funding in this
arena. Representative Lazio (R-NY) is gathering Republican signatures for
a letter to be sent to House Speaker Gingrich in support of funding for
the Arts. 26 House Republicans have already signed. The next edition of
AAUSA will contain the list so that these Representatives may be properly
thanked. Meanwhile feel free to contact your Republican Representative to
urge them to sign Rep. Lazio's letter.
