425 Greater public-private partnership is the central theme of the plan. In this age of shrinking federal resources, we need private support to achieve broad public goals and a national framework in which partnerships can be encouraged. I urge Congress to act upon our proposal for a new federally chartered foundation dedicated to the cause of film preservation and access. Federal matching funds are a vital part of the funding structure; they act as an incentive to corporate, foundation, and individual donors to provide seed money for public preservation investment. We need these combined publicprivate funds to put new ideas into action. To redefine film preservation, we must redefine relationships among archives, the entertainment industry, the educational community and the general public and find ways to forge a broadly beneficial program. The less tangible, but equally important, product of the planning process is the spirit of cooperation that has developed within the film community. In this spirit we must move ahead. The Library and the National Film Preservation Board look forward to continuing our role as facilitators and to guiding implementation of the national film preservation plan.
