Subject: Funding Passed for TIIAP


As I'm sure many of you may know by now, $21.49 million of funding 
was included for TIIAP in the FY97 omnibus appropriations bill.  Once 
again, the program received bipartisan support, as evidenced by letters 
sent to Sen. Lott signed by both Democrats and Republicans.

Congratulations are in order for the many people and organizations 
who put forth tremendous effort to support this valuable program.   
Hopefully, if we can continue to make Senators aware of the great things 
this program is doing, we can prevent this funding fight from continuing 
to be an annual event.

The NTIA plans to start accepting FY97 grant applications sometime early 
next year.
