67 Prepared Statement of Edward Richmond, President, Association of Moving Image Archivists On behalf of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA), I am writing in support of H.R. 1734, the National Film Preservation Act of 1995 (Title I) and the National Film Preservation Foundation Act (Title II). AMIA is a professional association established to provide a means for cooperation among individuals concerned with the preservation and use of moving image materials. AMIA currently represents nearly 250 professional archivists working at more than 100 institutions in both the public and private sectors. Its members constitute most of the working professionals in the film archive field. I believe strongly that passage of H.R. 1734 is vital to insuring preservation of and access to America's film heritage. For the purpose of this statement. 1 will confine my remarks to Title II, which establishes a federally chartered foundation dedicated to the preservation of American mouon pictures. I would like to say, however, that I also strongly support Title I, which reauthonzes the National Film Preservation Board.
