<p>Ohio Colleagues,</p>
<p>FYI, the following comes from an email message distributed today
by the National Humanities Alliance:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Earlier today, President Trump
released his Presidential Budget Request for FY 2021. Once
again, the
president has proposed the orderly shutdown of the National
Endowment
for the Humanities and the Institute for Museum and Library
Services
and zeroed out the budgets for the National Historical
Publications
and Records Commission and the Department of Education’s Title
VI and
Fulbright-Hays programs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In past years, we have built
strong
support in Congress to defeat President Trump’s budget
proposals. We
are confident we can do this once again with your advocacy.
Members of
Congress need to hear from their constituents about the value of
federal funding for the humanities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">As NHA indicates, things usually
get restored mostly. But we need to be ready should there be
call for action later in the year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">George</span></p>
