Thank-You, Royalty Committee D.C SITE FAVORED FOR INDIAN MUSEUM The latest round of negotiations over the location of an American Indian Museum has yielded a tentative agreement on how to showcase the priceless Heye collection of Indian artifacts. Officials from the American Indian Museum in New York City announced January 25 that the bulk of the collection will be sent to Washington, D.C. where the Smithsonian Insitution will build a new 400,000 square foot National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall- a part-like area, several blocks long, where other Smithsonian museums are located. The Smithsonian also will operate a second, smaller museum in New York City. Although officials are optimistic, this agreement is far from final. It must be approved by the Smithsonian's governing body and New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams. As Attorney General, Abram is charged with honoring the will of George Gustav Heye. Heye, who amassed the collection of artifacts, called for keeping it in New York City. Negotiators feel the second museum, 75,000-square feet at the U.S. Customs House, will fulfill that stipulation. Among the other major hurdles to be overcome before the collection is moved to Washington are Congres sional approval of the New York State courts which must protect wills and estates. This proposal is backed by Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan (D N.Y.). Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), head of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, is also likely to favor the plan. Inouye was among the first to propose the museum be built in Washington. If an agreement is reached by May, Congress could allocate funding in the fiscal year beginning October 1.
