Cutler ( CN=Lynn G. Cutler/OU=WHO/O=EOP@EOP [ WHO ] ) READ: UNKNOWN TO: Mary L. Smith ( CN=Mary L. Smith/OU=OPD/O=EOP@EOP [ OPD ] ) READ: UNKNOWN TEXT: Sylvia has a series of letters re: increasing funding to $5.2 million for direct grants from the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund to tribal historic preservation offices. FY1999 and FY2000 enacted levels were $2.6 million -- and currently, the FY2001 request keeps funding at $2.6 million. Our folks at OMB feel comfortable straightlining the funding, as their sense is that there are many other issues of greater importance re: to Indian country which are being addressed in the budget. I just wanted to double-check that the two of you concur w/ our folks' sense. Please let me know. Thanks, Sonny
