Plans for continuing and expanding these priorities are also discussed. A list of Commission members is included, in the Prologue, and the origins of NCLIS are described in a separate section. Among the numerous appendices are: The NCLIS Act--Public Law 91-345; NCLIS Publications; Projects of NCLIS; Fiscal Statement; White House Conference on Library and Information Services Authorization, Public Law 93-568; Publications and Media Produced by the White House Conference; and Elements of a Comprehensive National Library and Information Services Program.
