The deadline for Representatives to sign on to the 2010 Tonko/Slaughter/Lance
Museum letter is <b><span style='color:red'>TOMORROW March 31, 2010</span></b>.
Representatives who sign on to the letter are making a public statement about
their support for the museums they represent, and it’s important that as
many legislators as possible sign on to the letter before tomorrow’s
deadline. Once the letter is closed, it will be sent to the members of the
House Appropriations Committee urging them to fund the Office of Museum
Services at the Institute of Museum and Library Services at $50 million for
FY11.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
