Apologies for cross-posting, but we want to reach as many of you as possible.

The Heritage Preservation Services, National Park Service has been conducting a
project to identify best practices in historic preservation planning that will
provide guidance for future planning activities, as well as serve as a
foundation for updating the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Preservation Planning. A draft project report, "Principles of Preservation
Planning," is now available for review at <www2.cr.nps.gov/pad/PlngPrinc.html>.

We invite you to review these draft Principles and respond to the following
questions:

1.  Do these Principles (any or all) generally characterize the preservation
planning or cultural resource management planning that you do or are familiar
with? If not, why not?

2.  More detailed guidance may be developed for applying each Principle. On what
topic(s) would guidance be most helpful to you?

3.  What specific planning example(s) or case study(ies) can you recommend as
being helpful to illustrate one or more of the Principles?

Please reply no later than June 30, 2000, to Sue Henry Renaud via e-mail at
<[log in to unmask]>, by fax at (202) 343-3921, or by regular mail at Heritage
Preservation Services, National Park Service, 1849 C Street, NW, Room NC330,

Thank you very much for your contribution to this important project!
