The measure cuts the NARA budget by $8 million. This is in addition to a $12 million shortfall that was previously included in the budget. The budget will move on to the US Senate next. If these cuts remain in the NARA budget, there will be reductions in services provided to the American people. NAGARA members are encouraged to contact their US Senators in support of restoring NARA funding. Please see the NARA Notice that was issued on June 19, 2006 about the budget for additional information. Thank you.
