  ALERT: Support Renewal of US Bilateral Agreement with Guatemala
   
  On March 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. the Cultural Property Advisory Committee (CPAC) in the US State Department of State will hold a public hearing to decide whether to renew the bilateral agreement with Guatemala that has been in place since 1997 and that is set to expire in September 2007.
  We urge everyone who cares about this issue, and particularly people who can speak from experience, to attend the hearing and present testimony or send a letter in support of the renewal of the bilateral agreement. Whether you’re a student, a volunteer on an archaeological dig, a professional archaeologist, we urge you to get involved and write to CPAC. Written text of oral comments as well as letters must be submitted by 5 PM on Monday March 7, 2007 by e-mail or fax only to:
  Cultural Property Advisory Committee
Cultural Heritage Center
