Summary:

This is the report of the Presidential Task Force on the Arts and the Humanities.

These propositions reaffirm principles we hold basic to the vitality of the arts and the humanities: First, private sector support for the arts and the humanities should be increased; Second, there should be Federal funding for the arts and the humanities; Third, where possible, and with the exception of grants to individuals, these Federal funds should be matched.
