     4                        COMMISSION ON NEW YORK STATE
     5                                   HISTORY

    14    § 825.  Legislative findings and declaration of purpose. The  legisla-

    17  enhanced and fully promoted as special features of attraction and impor-

    19  ical assets are world class destinations for visitors  from  around  the
    20  world  and should be promoted as such.  Having the management, interpre-
    21  tation and promotion of  the  state's  historical  assets  spread  among
    22  several  agencies and departments has often been detrimental to the full
