                FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                February 17, 2000
                **As a service to our constituents, IMLS is providing the
following
                announcement about Save America's Treasures and access to
the grant
                application.


                U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                SAVE AMERICA'S TREASURES

                APPLICATION AND GUIDELINES AVAILABLE FOR
                FY 2000 HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND GRANTS

                The National Park Service, Department of the Interior, is
pleased to
                announce that the application and guidelines for the Save
America's
                Treasures Fiscal Year 2000 Historic Preservation Fund Grants
are available.
                Grants are available for preservation and/or conservation
work on nationally
                significant intellectual and cultural artifacts and
nationally significant
                historic structures and sites.  A total of $15 million will
be awarded.

                In 1999, Congress approved President Clinton's request for
funding to Save
                America's Treasures, providing $30 million in Federal grants
to address the
                urgent preservation needs of the nation's most significant
historic sites
                and collections.  As a result of this appropriation, twelve
Federal agencies
                received awards for 62 projects in 24 states, the District
of Columbia and
                the Midway Islands.  Building upon the success of this grant
program,
                Congress approved an additional $30 million to Save
America's Treasures as
                part of the Fiscal Year 2000 budget.

                This year's appropriation has earmarked $15 million for
select preservation
                projects nationwide, with the remaining $15 million
available in federal
                grants to protect America's threatened cultural treasures,
including
                significant documents, works of art, buildings, objects, and
collections.
                All applications must be postmarked by March 31, 2000.
Award recipients are
                scheduled to be announced in June. Given the increased
awareness of the Save
                America's Treasures program, it is anticipated that the
number of
                applications submitted will increase dramatically from last
year, making the
                distribution of the $15 million a highly competitive
process.
