improvements initiated within the History and Art base.

[[underline]]History and Art Resource Growth[[/underline]]

     In FY 1986, resources in History and Art are expected to reach $30,000,000 from the present FY 1980 level of about $22,600,000. Projected increases in federal appropriations are principally associated with continued improvement and collection management capability; future-year operations of the Museum of African Art; revitalizing the research programs of the Museum of History and Technology; and expanding education, exhibition, and collection acquisitions at the Portrait Gallery, Collection of Fine Arts, and Freer Gallery. Trust funds are forecasted to increase by about $1,300,000 largely as a result of expectations regarding unrestricted and restricted fund expenses associated with the Freer Gallery of Art, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and the Museum of African Art.
