Good News in the President's Budget
All of us here at the Commission are enormously pleased that President Clinton's budget for Fiscal Year 1999 includes $6 million dollars for NHPRC grants. This figure constitutes a 50 percent increase over the amount the President requested for NHPRC grants in the Fiscal Year 1998 budget, and would increase grant funds by one-half million dollars, or 9.1 percent, above the $5.5 million approved for this fiscal year. The $6 million requested by the President, if approved by Congress, would be the largest appropriation the NHPRC has ever received for competitive grants.
