Most of you probably already know about this petition for funding for
the National Archives and NHPRC.

As part of the effort to continue to express to Congress the interest
in restoration of funding for NHPRC [National Historical Publications
and Records Commission, which is part of the National Archives and
Records Administration], the Council of State Historical Records
Coordinators (COSHRC) has created an online petition. Please consider
signing this petition, and please forward it to any listservs, email
groups, or organizations and people you feel would be interested in
helping with this effort. It is a quick and easy way for many people
to assist.

The petition will be forwarded to the House Appropriations
Committee and Subcommittee on Treasury, Transportation, HUD and the
Judiciary in late May. The petition can be accessed at:
<www.savearchives.org> and click on the "petition" button.
