The Smithsonian Institution, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, through their respective offices of museum programs, regularly consult and review programs and proposals in order to prevent duplication and to meet, insofar as possible, the increasing needs of museums and museum professionals from the point of view of their individual programs.  The programs of the Endowments focus on the public aspects of specific museums such as exhibitions, renovations, catalogues, and purchases, while those that the Smithsonian administers under the National Museum Act are designed to serve the needs of the museum profession generally.

The following motion was adopted:

Voted, That the Congressional Members of the Board of Regents are requested to introduce and support legislation authorizing additional appropriations for purposes of the National Museum Act.
