                    TRIBUTE TO DR. MAURICE VANDERPOL

 Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, on April 22, 1995, many special 
guests from the Netherlands and this Nation will gather at the Wang 
Center in Boston to celebrate the permanent endowment of Young at Arts, 
the Wang Center's educational outreach program, with special 
recognition to Dr. Maurice Vanderpol for his enthusiasm and outstanding 
leadership in this effort.
  In 1989 Dr. Vanderpol established the Walter Suskind Memorial Fund in 
memory of Water Suskind, whose courage saved the lives of hundreds of 
children from Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. The 
fund was established as a permanent endowment for Young at Arts. This 
program teaches a curriculum in the arts to young children around 
Boston--possibly some of whom are the grandchildren of those Walter 
Suskind saved 60 years ago.
  Due to Dr. Vanderpol's tireless effort over the past 6 years, the 
campaign to raise $1 million for the endowment was successful. This 
success, along with Dr. Vanderpol's exemplary leadership and 
extraordinary support in keeping alive the memories and the dreams of a 
people brutalized by the horrors of war, is why I wish to recognize Dr. 
Maurice Vanderpol on this day.
