          EXHIBIT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PHOTOGRAPHY ON CAPITOL HILL

                                 ______


                            HON. DICK SWETT

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. SWETT. Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to Ric Blake and the 
photo group of the New Hampshire Art Association, who earlier this 
month brought a little bit of New Hampshire to Washington by means of 
an outstanding photography exhibit of the Cannon House Building 
rotunda.
  Thirteen photographers, members of the oldest statewide professional 
artist association in the country, presented ``Main Street, New 
Hampshire'' and ``Government in Person.'' These two shows offered a 
glimpse of New Hampshire people and scenery to the Capitol community 
and its visitors.
  Project developer, Ric Blake, invited Terry Barum, Rick Berke, 
Michelle Duford, Irene E. DuPont, Jane Fithian, James C. Freed, Mary 
Holland, Suzanne R. Laurent, Paul Roach, Carolyn Schroeder, Pat Tilton, 
and Ann Underwood to photograph the New Hampshire community of their 
choice, interpreting the idea of ``Main Street'' according to their 
individual styles and visions.
  Fifteen towns were explored with varied interpretations, from the 
traditional ``Rockwellesque,'' to social statement, to interpretive 
impressions.
  The group photo project, entitled ``Government in Person,'' gave 
citizens a closer view of New Hampshire's public servants.
  Both displays have provided a wonderfully artistic window to life in 
the Granite State. The exhibit has been admired by many Members of 
Congress and the thousands of visitors to our Nation's Capital who have 
seen it.
  Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in recognition of 
these talented artists.
