The following note was in a message from AASLH sent yesterday.

*Advocacy Alert:* On September 14, the U.S. House of Representatives 
passed legislation H.R.3354 
<http://aaslh.site-ym.com/link.asp?e=fogarty@aaslh.org&job=3085597&e=bain@ohio.edu&job=3090298&ymlink=161686426&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Econgress%2Egov%2Fbill%2F115th%2Dcongress%2Fhouse%2Dbill%2F3354> 
by a vote of 211-198. It provides $1.23 trillion for the omnibus fiscal 
year 2018 spending package and, regarding cultural institutions, and is 
in opposition to the White House’s 2018 budget proposal. While the 
victory in the House of Representatives is encouraging, the legislation 
still needs to pass in the Senate. Learn more
