Smithsonian Board of Regents notice - Reform initiative

---

For over 150 years, there have been no significant legislative changes made to the Smithsonian Act of Congress enacted in 1846. The continued legal confusion described in 'Odious and Cerberus' demands congressional scrutiny and action that our duly elected representatives must swiftly carry out.
