LCCHP Attempt to Make Two Pliable US Pro-Smuggling Congressmen See Reason



LCCP: CALL TO ACTION! THREAT TO THE CULTURAL PROPERTY IMPLEMENTATION ACT (CPIA)
Members of Congressman Charles B. Rangel’s (Dem-NY) and Congressman Steve Israel’s (Dem-NY) staff are considering the introduction of legislation that would specifically exempt coins from trade restrictions under the Cultural Property Implementation Act (CPIA). This initiative is being heavily lobbied for by coin collectors. LCCHP opposes the passage of this legislation, which would weaken protection of cultural heritage and allow collectors to more easily purchase coins discovered during illicit excavations. Below is LCCHP’s letter to the congressmen from New York. We encourage our members within the relevant districts to contact the Congressmen regarding this legislation.
