    LOS ANGELES (AP) - Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation, a repository
    of Holocaust testimonials, is becoming part of the University of
    Southern California's College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

    Spielberg, the foundation's chairman and a USC trustee, said moving
    the collection to USC will ensure its preservation and access to the
    public.

    ``All of us know that the survivors and witnesses have given us a
    precious gift whose wise use will build a better world for this and
    future generations,'' Spielberg said in a statement.

    The repository's 52,000 testimonials from survivors and witnesses will
    be transferred Jan. 1 to USC indefinitely under an agreement announced
    Friday between the university and the Survivors of the Shoah Visual
    History Foundation.
