Extract

This year brought forth an event of great potential significance for members of the Modern Language Association, for members of similar organizations in other humanistic disciplines, and possibly for the nation as a whole. On September 29 in the Rose Garden at the White House, President Johnson signed into law an Act creating an agency to be known as the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities. This agency is to provide Federal funds “to complement, assist, and add to” the money provided “by local, State, regional, and private agencies” in support of the Arts and the Humanities.
