Subject:       Continuing Resolution for NSF

 For your information ......

 The February 2, 1996 Chronicle of Higher Education (p.A23), reports
 that NSF's funding level under our Continuing Resolution (CR) is at
 75% of the FY95 level.  This is INCORRECT and NSF has conveyed this
 message to the Chronicle.

 NSF is funded until March 15 under the current CR at a rate equal to
 the level in our FY96 appropriations conference report.  That level is
 $3.18 billion and under the CR, NSF will have a prorated share of that
 level to spend on all the things we normally do, until March 15.

 For additional NSF post shutdown information, please refer to the NSF
 Home Page on the WWW.
