     RECOGNIZING DR. GEORGE SEUFFERT'S RECEIPT OF THE CRYSTAL AWARD

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 1994

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, one of the pleasures of serving in this 
legislative body is the opportunity we occasionally get to acknowledge 
publicly the outstanding citizens of our nation.
  I am pleased to announce today that conductor Dr. George Seuffert 
will be presented with the Music Performance Trust Fund's first Crystal 
Award. I can think of no man more deserving of this honor than Dr. 
Seuffert. This newly-established annual award is given to that musician 
whose work exemplifies the Fund's goal of enhancing music appreciation 
and education through the presentation of admission-free performances 
to the public, as Dr. Seuffert has done for the last 35 years. He has 
devoted his life to presenting music of the highest quality and 
diversity. As evidence, the program at the award ceremony will feature 
selections ranging from Verdi to Sousa, Gershwin to Wagner, and will 
include arrangements of country music, rock, and vocal arrangements.
  I congratulate Dr. Seuffert on the receipt of this award and I hope 
he and his band will continue to bring us music for many years to come.

                          ____________________
