Mrs. Gergely Kovács Work Plan of the Foundation of the Postal and Telecommunication Museum for 2000 The year 2000 marks the 1,000th anniversary of Hungary as a nation and the 10th anniversary of our Foundation. Though our Foundation is only one one-hundredth the age of our nation, we nonetheless view the forthcoming year as one of celebration. We believe it to be a time to review what we have done, as well as one in which to set forth our goals. We have focused our working plan on these two objectives, and therefore, have not listed our day-to-day activity. Administration and Economic Activity • We plan to issue a publication of our own, containing the legislative acts, legal regulations, law decrees and ordinances governing the operation of the Foundation of the Postal and Telecommunication Museum and our museums. • We plan to prepare the Foundation of the Postal and Telecommunication Museum plans for museum development and renovation for 2001-2005. • We plan to set up a Honorarium Fidelitatis (Award for Faithful Service) to be presented once every five years to staff who have been in our employ for 5-50 years. Investments and Renovations • Development and investment projects involving our founders.- Enlargement of the Stamp Museum to include the former equipment room of the Erzsébet Telephone Exchange (in Budapest), sponsored by the Hungarian Postal Service Corp.- Renovation of the MATÁV Museum and Telemuseum at 20-22 Gyáli Street, sponsored by MATÁV Corp. • A series of renovation, development, and investment projects will be initiated using the Foundation’s own resources and grants attained through competitive bidding processes.- Plans call for updating the exhibit halls of the Postal Museum, including an upholstery change, and restoration of the woodwork and metal fittings- Plans call for renovating the entire interior of the Museum of Telephony to house new and permanent exhibitions.- Plans call for construction of a garage at the Museum of Radio and Television to park vehicles carrying measurement gauges and trucks used for remote television broadcasting.- Plans call for enlarging the Postal Museum at Balatonszemes by building an exhibition hall where motor vehicles can be displayed. Efforts are being made to secure a grant for this project. 244
