Public funding of the arts under fire on Capitol Hill

Budget cutters target the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts amid a heated debate over federal support for the arts. House subcommittee recommendations cut CPB funding 15 percent in 1996 and 30 percent in 1997, with a 5 million cut for the NEA. Defenders quote Barbra Streisand and others claiming a “right” to taxpayer support, while critics warn against federal control of art.
