SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In thinking about the past, present,

and future of the NHPRC, we ask you to

speak to the following issues:

(a) How should the legislative history

of the NHPRC affect decisions on how

the Commission allocates its resources?

(b) How effectively have past NHPRC

allocations met the statutory objectives

of the Commission?

(c) What public benefits should the

Commission seek to achieve in the

context of entering a new century, with

changing circumstances in technology,

user expectations, and scholarly

communication?

(d) What is an appropriate way for the

NHPRC to determine, in principle, how

its funds should be allocated?

(e) What are the implications of the

new strategic plan for the NHPRC’s

ability to achieve its statutory

objectives?

The NHPRC requests responses to

these questions by May 1, 1997, so that

members of the Commission may review

the responses prior to the next NHPRC

meeting in June 1997. Organizations

interested in responding are asked to

request from the NHPRC a packet of

background information consisting of

five items: (1) A copy of the strategic

plan voted upon in November 1996; (2)

a chart comparing past authorizations

and appropriations of NHPRC grant

funds; (3) a chart showing past

allocations of NHPRC grant funds in

dollars and in percentages; (4) copies of

all NHPRC statutes containing

Congressional mandates; and (5) the

most recent House and Senate reports
