As a regular feature of PA, Washington Watch is designed to keep readers abreast of recent and pending legislation as well as congressional hearings and federal agency directives, regulations, and initiatives which may have an impact on the work of anthropologists or to which anthropologists may be able to contribute. Readers are encouraged to submit items for inclusion in the column, from brief announcements to more extensive discussions and commentary on related issues. Send materials to Dorothy Biard, 3831 Albemarle Street, NW, Washington, DC 20016.
