Can you assist me in finding this full article, i.e., which /Times/,
what date, what page?
(I assumed /NYT/ but found nothing on line, and there are many /Times/
in the world.)
Thanks very much.

Larry,
On the train on my way to Johns Hopkins for a conference this
morning I read the following quote in a Times article on the Budget....
"...the Library of Congress took the largest percentage cut in the
Legislative Branch budget amounting to 13.4 million dollars over the
next six months with much deeper cuts expected for the next fiscal
year. "This is the largest cut in the institutions history and coming
after four years of flat budgets there is not a great deal left to
cut," said a Library official who asked not to be named for this
article, "it is going to mean changes in the fundamental nature of the
Library, in what we can acquire and in the services we can provide."
When pressed for more details on where the cuts would come from the
official commented that everything is on the table at this point and
that most of the cuts would have to come from staff
furloughs, attrition, and the closing of some of the more specialized
and lesser used reading rooms, like those of the European, Asian and
Geography and Map Divisions.

This from a Roll Call article this morning....layoffs and severe
service cuts on their way...a sad day for the Nations Library...
Library of Congress Gets Hit Hardest With Cuts
Legislative Branch Spending Slashed Over 2010
* By *Daniel Newhauser*
<http://www.rollcall.com/reporters/18.html>
* Roll Call Staff
* April 13, 2011, Midnight
The fiscal 2011 spending agreement includes more than $103
million in cuts to Congress' own budget, which may eventually
necessitate some layoffs around Capitol Hill but not the drastic
actions that would have been required by other House proposals.
.....
But the Library, which would be forced to absorb a $13.4 million
cut from 2010 levels, would be hit the hardest and will be forced
to reduce staff.
"The level of funding provided in the [continuing resolution]
proposal would require a hiring freeze with no new hires, and core
services and products will be delayed as staff levels are
reduced," the Senate summary states. A Library spokeswoman said
the agency will soon determine where the cuts will be absorbed.
