The <br />Hot e report also contained language stating that the <br />Cor mittee Will recommend adjustments to the <br />Ad-, ,ory Council's funding based on the <br />rccc emendations of the authorizing committee, while <br />also •ncouraging the Council to pursue private sources <br />" of f1 iding to support its technical development and <br />i trait ng activities. <br />I ' <br />The \lational Trust is very pleased with the funding <br />leve provided by the House and appreciates the efforts <br />of tl faxboard network in making calls, visits and <br />writ .1 letters to Members of Congress to let them <br />kno how important federal funding for historic <br />pros rvation is to your communities and the nation. <br />Sucl communications with your elected officials clearly <br />mad a difference as there was no attempt on the House <br />flop this year to eliminate the National Trust's share of <br />fede al funds. <br />Wol : has also begun in the Senate on the FY97 Interior <br />Apl oppriations Bill.
