Other areas under consideration include the Folklife Festival (thus lessening the current reliance on outside funding); our biennial symposium and a lecture series on knowledge and socity; the preparation of additional new exhibitions based on Smithsonian collections whose initial showings might be organized in connection with the National Associates Program in order to allow some expansion of program offerings, and more workshops and training opprotunities in connection with the regional cities program; support for the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum to allow it to extend its documentation of Black history to a wider audience; and an augementation of the capability of our Visitor Information and Associates Reception Center to provide faster response to mail and telephone inquiries.

As with the other categories of this program, these projects will be carefully selected, monitored, and their status reported to the Regents.
