For the past several months, the Woodrow Wilson Center has been engaged in a struggle for survival. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives voted to cut federal support for the Center from the current $5.8 million to $1 million, in effect the amount needed to close down. The Senate has voted to continue funding at the current level.
