Apologies to those who are already well aware of the goings-on on capital

Anybody interested in historic preservation, archaeology and/or heritage in
the USA should be very concerned about what our federal government is

listen in on the actual hearings as they occur. (Thanks to Michael Gregg
of NJHPO for supplying this link)

I have published a brief compilation of posts issued by various
archaeologists and preservation-minded folks interested and knowledgeable
on this issue at the forums of eastarch.org.
You can review these brief summaries and see what can be done to add your
voice to those supporting the retention of the 106 process as it currently
stands here:
