Each v'ear the nation's film archives lose unique footage historically and culturally valuable fbocage \k-hich is then gone forever. .Mready in 1995. UCL.A has been forced to dispose of almost 30.000 feet of f'vn because it deteriorated, in some cases literally to dust, before «% could raise funds to preserve it .\nd the same situation, on larger and smaller scales, is being repeated all ov-er the country, all the time. X^Tiai is needed urgently is the ne* ap{Hoach represented by the proposed national film preservation foundation. Unlike the isolated efforts of individual archives, the foundation vnll have the necessary national base to: (a) maximize private sector fimdraising. (b) foster public-pnvate partnerships around preservation initiatives, (c) insure the most effective use of every preser%-aiion dollar, and (d) help address {nnblems beyond the scope of any one institution. For these reasons. I urge >ou to suppon H.R. 1734. itKluding Title n. Please give the nation's film archives the national foundation we need to save America's film heritage, for the benefit of the .American people.
