                   TRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 1996

  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the 
National Arts Club's ``50, 75, 100, 125'' program during this past 
season. This program honors significant institutions in New York City 
which have celebrated major anniversaries this year. I am proud to 
offer this tribute at the conclusion of a very successful celebratory 
season.
  This year, the National Arts Club, through its Roundtable Committee, 
sponsored a series of events to recognize major institutions such as 
the Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center, the United Nations, the 
American Academy in Rome, the New York State Bar Association, the 
American Museum of National History, and the Metropolitan Museum of 
Art.
  I am proud to report that the National Arts Club also honored the 
International Olympic Committee which celebrated its 100 year 
anniversary this year. In honor of the International Olympic 
Committee's anniversary and of the Centennial Games to be held in July, 
earlier this month, the National Arts Club commemorated the publication 
of ``The Olympic Image--The First 100 Years.''
  The National Arts Club has contributed to the cultural, educational, 
and diplomatic communities of New York City since its inception in 
1898. Through series such as ``50, 75, 100, 125,'' the National Arts 
Club seeks to reward the efforts of unique institutions making a 
significant difference in the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in this tribute by rising 
in honor of the National Arts Club for its celebration of New York 
City's extraordinary institutions. Thank you.
