The China Lake Museum Foundation
Board has been in operation for just over
a year. Much has happened in a relatively
short time. The China Lake Museum
Foundation is incorporated in the State of
California for educational purposes. The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognizes
the Foundation as a 501 (c)3 publicly
supported organization. As such, dona-
tions to the Foundation are tax-exempt to
the extent allowed by law. The current
membership of the Foundation is noted in
the newsletter.
We are extremely pleased to have the
China Lake Naval Command actively and
cooperatively supporting Foundation
efforts to establish a first-class museum.
The Command has established an Advisory
Committee headed by Scott O'Neil to
provide the official interface between
Command and the Foundation. Command
has provided office space for the
Foundation in the China Lake Exhibit
Center (the former Officers' Club). We are
most appreciative of Command's support
and cooperation.
The purpose of the Foundation is to
provide a continuing educational forum
and vehicle for the development of an
armament museum at China Lake. The
Foundation has two principal objectives:
0 To develop and maintain a close rela-
tionship with the military/civilian organi-
