Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed S.J. Res. 168 - Reappoint James Webb to Board
of Regents of Smithsonian Institution. This bill reappoints James E. Webb
as a member of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution.
The Board of Regents of the Smithsonain Institution is composed of the Vice
President, the Chief Justice of the United States, three members of the Senate,
three members of the House, and nine other persons. The nine citizen regents
are appointed by a joint resolution of the Congress and serve 6-year terms.
The President has signed S. 3187 - Extend appropriation authorization for
National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works. This
bill extends the appropriation authorization for the National Commission on
New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works to the termination date of the
Commission.
Public Law 93-573, enacted December 31, 1974, established a National
Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works to study and
make recommendations to the President and the Congress concerning the use
of copyrighted works. The Commission is required to submit a final
report within three years of the enactment of Public Law 93-573, i.e., by
December 31, 1977 and it must terminate not later than 60 days thereafter,
i.e., no later than March 1, 1978.
The President has signed S. 2760 - Amendments to the Indochina Migration
and Refugee Assistance Act of 1975. This bill will make Laotian refugees
eligible for the same evacuation and resettlement assistance as is provided
for Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees.
The Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1975, Public Law 94-23,
authorizes the appropriation of $455 million for assistance to Vietnamese
and Cambodian refugees. Under the Act, which was enacted after the fall of
the governments in both South Vietnam and Cambodia, the Department of State
provides for evacuation and reception expenses and the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare (HEW) pays for longer-term resettlement costs in the
United States.
