Hi Stephanie, This has been a big buzz in the archaeology community over
the past week. Most major archaeological organizations have made formal
complaints to the House committee-- AIA, SAA, WAC among them. Most of
the information and analysis I've seen about this has come from the
American Cultural Resources Assn (ACRA) website and chatlist (look at
the ACRA-L archives), since they would be directly affected by the 
legislation.

> Hello-
> As many of you may know, there are currently changes being proposed to Section
> 106 of the NHP.  In my CRM class we were going over the proposed legislation &
> one of the unanswerable questions we have is: who is David Nunes (R-CA) who has
> proposed the amendment?  We're especially interested in learning if he has any
> professional background or experience in museum studies or historic preservation
> and what his reasons are for wanting to amend this act.
