     SAMUEL TENENBAUM: HONORS FOR A SOUTH CAROLINA RENAISSANCE MAN

 Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, permit me to take a brief moment 
of the Senate's time to salute Samuel Tenenbaum on his selection as a 
1994 recipient of South Carolina's prestigious Verner Award/Governor's 
Award. These honors are bestowed annually by the South Carolina Arts 
Commission to recognize outstanding achievements in the arts. Another 
winner this year is the Spoleto Festival U.S.A., Charleston's annual 
international arts exposition.
  Mr. President, as a patron of the arts, Sam Tenenbaum is about as 
close as you get in South Carolina to a Medici prince--a modern-day 
Renaissance man who has done well in the world of business, and done 
good in the world of the arts. Sam is vice president of Chatham Steel 
in Columbia, and is active in a score of community service 
organizations across the State. He served on former Governor Dick 
Riley's arts task force and was a member of the South Carolina Arts 
Commission. For years, he has been a fund-raising wizard and board 
member for a number of arts groups, including the Columbia City Ballet 
and the Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties. Sam has 
been extremely generous with both his time and his money in the cause 
of enriching South Carolina's cultural endowment.
  Mr. President, Sam Tenenbaum is among the best and brightest in South 
Carolina. And he has been a terrific friend to me.
