National cultural agencies face elimination N JEOPARDY is all federal funding for the arts, humanities, museums & public broadcasting. In Congress, the House has I pledged to make no appropriations for agencies without full reauthorization. NEA authorization already has expired. Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum (R-KS), chair of the Senate Labor & Human Resources Committee, started NEA reauthorization hearings Jan 26, with Chairman Jane Alexander. The Chairman testified, "What I learned (from her recent national tour) is that people care very much about the art that is going on in their communities and were grateful for the NEA's involvement." The first example she cited in her testimony was the NEA-assisted restoration of the murals at The Columbian Theatre, Wamego, where she addressed a town meeting Nov 17. Sen. Kassebaum has made it clear the NEA will have to make KAC ends 1994 on busy note more changes to win support from the Senate.
