KOSTMAYER 8TH DISTRICT, PENNSYLVANIA <!Congress of tbt 11 nittb ~tatts }I.Jou.St of 1'tprt.5tntatibt5 Ulasbtngton, 1.9~ 205.15 · May 1, 1990 The Honorable Claiborne Pell, Chairman Subcommittee on Education, Arts, and Humanities Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources SR 335 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Mr. Chairman: r: I? I '--On February 6, 1990 I introduced HR 3963, the Great American Landscapes Act, which would provide small grants and technical assistance to state and local governments, and non-profit groups to inventory and protect endangered landscapes. The bill was introduced as a result of a series of hearings I have chaired on "Open Space - The American Landscape in the 21st Century." Witnesses from around the country have testified at these hearings about the loss of some of our country's most cherished lands. Towns and villages in areas such as the Napa Valley in California, the Amish Country in Pennsylvania, and the Thousand Islands in New York are in danger of losing their character and their traditional ways of life because of unplanned suburban growth and development. My bill authorizes the National Endowment for the Arts, through its Design Arts Program, to manage this innovative approach to helping communities plan for the long-term protection of "working landscapes." I would very much appreciate your consideration of this bill as part of your subcommittee's reauthorization of the National Endowment for the Arts. I stand ready to assist you in any way possible. With every good wish, Sincertr~ Peter H. Kostmayer, Chairman House Interior Subcommittee on General Oversight & Investigations
