I don't remember seeing this on this list Begin forwarded message: From: "Diane Walsh" <rengen@compu-type.net> Date: September 27, 2006 5:42:59 PM CDT To: <ilstclai@rootsweb.com> Subject: [ILSTCLAI] NARA hours officially trimmed, effective 2 October Reply-To: ilstclai@rootsweb.com From the APG list: The change in NARA hours, both Archives 1 in DC and Archives 2 in College Park, MD, will take effect on 2 October. The hours announced in the Federal Register today (see <http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getpage.cgi? dbname=2006_register&position=all&page=56357>) will be 9:00 to 5:00 Monday to Friday. Once a month NARA will have extended hours. The monthly extended hours will be Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., and Saturday, 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. The first extended hours will be held October 19 through 21. Researchers can consult the NARA Web site for the future extended hour schedule. The petition signed by some of you over the past month included 10,000 total signatures but was only counted as 1 comment - signed letters to our representatives are best. It is expected more cuts will be made in the future, so be prepared to notify your representative in writing when the time comes. It has been suggested those interested should write their representative now telling him/her the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) only received 1 comment for the 10,000 who signed the petition.)
