    HARRY BELAFONTE RECEIVES THE LETELIER-MOFFITT HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD

 Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, I was pleased to note in the 
Washington Post that Harry Belafonte, who has done so much for UNICEF 
and so many other good causes, was honored by the Institute for Policy 
Studies with the Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award for his ``lifetime 
commitment to civil and human rights.''
  As people write about the entertainment scene today, Harry Belafonte 
plays a prominent role.
  But for me, it is even more significant that as people write the 
history of civil rights and the civil rights struggle and the struggle 
for human rights and decency for all human beings, Harry Belafonte has 
been in the forefront.
  He is an incredibly fine human being, who believes in good causes and 
is willing to help good causes.
  I know I speak for all of my colleagues in the U.S. Senate when I 
congratulate Harry Belafonte.
