The $30 million ''Digital Library'' program will be offered as part of the Clinton administration's year 2000 budget, First Lady Hillary Clinton said at a conference of U.S. mayors here. The program, if approved by Congress, ''gives us a wonderful opportunity to reach out to schools and public libraries everywhere ... to enable people who might not have the opportunity to travel to the Archives or the Smithsonian to see over the miracle of the Internet what is here and what marks our history,'' Clinton said. White House officials said the program would give $5 million to the Smithsonian Institution and another $5 million to the National Park Service to create online archives of American historical items.

The final $10 million will go to create an online library of math and science resources.
