NHPRC Receives Level Funding
The Congress and President Clinton have approved legislation giving the NHPRC $5 million in grant funds for fiscal year 1997 and authorizing appropriations of up to $10 million annually through fiscal year 2001. Neither is a cut from previous numbers.
The appropriation for NHPRC grants, contained in an appropriations bill for the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government, maintains NHPRC funding at the same level as in the previous fiscal year.
Separate legislation is required to authorize the NHPRC to receive annual appropriations. The current authorization, passed in 1994, expires at the end of fiscal year 1997. The new legislation extends NHPRC's authorization for four subsequent fiscal years, 1998-2001, and maintains the current ceiling of $10 million on the amount that appropriations committees can approve for NHPRC in each of those years.
