As the total budget has been reducec~ to $15,000,000. The budgets set for each Division have been modified to reflect the following: Six employees who deal with issues analysis and legislative support have been transferred from the State Activities Division to the Public Affairs Division. The functions performed by these individuals have been expanded to include both Federal and State legislative support activities. Media Relations (the spokesperson program) has been taken out of the Public Affairs Division and set up as a separate Division under the direct supervision of the President of The Institute. We have transferred $350,000 from The Institute's Contingency Fund to the State Activities Legislative Consultants budget. This transfer was necessary to allow The Institute to have lobbyist representation in all fifty states.
