The Bush administration is considering eliminating two archaeological centers that serve the National Park Service, The Washington Post reports.

By year's end, NPS has to decide whether to keep the Midwest Archaeological Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, and the Southeast Archaeological Center, in Tallahassee, Florida, or open the jobs to outside contractors. The two centers provide services at 122 national parks and 780 national historical landmarks in 22 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to The Post.

The effort is part of an Bush initiative to outsource thousands of government jobs.
