monies originally provided for renovation of the Gem-Mineral Hall at the Museum of Natural History which was not undertaken by the donor's deadline.

Without Board objection, the fiscal year 1986 trust fund budget will be modified to reflect an increase in the public ticket prices at the National Air and Space Museum's Langley Theater and Einstein Planetarium effective February, 1986. The present daytime prices, $1.50 for adults and $.75 for children, students and senior citizens, would be raised to $2.00 and $1.00 respectively. The National Air and Space Museum would also like to nominally increase admission charges for special showings. The additional proceeds would be used to replenish the film production fund; to allow for much-needed repairs, refurbishment, and modifications to the Theater and Planetarium; and to provide additional support for other important research and education programs of the Museum and Institution. National Air and Space Museum ticket prices, even with the increase, would remain lower than the national average ticket price for IMAX movies.
