ecting a multistate consortium of public and

riginally in the Senate-passed version of H.R.

regon Historical Society, w ould be especially 

uited to operate” such a program.
The Senate had passed a total of $8,270,000

$3,994,000 for “demonstration projects involv­

unding to bring the statewide fiber optic net­
ork project funding to $5 million. ■
