        DAVID HORSEY WINS BERRYMAN CARTOONIST OF THE YEAR AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JAY INSLEE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 24, 1999

  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to announce that one of my 
constituents, Mr. David Horsey, recently won the Berryman Cartoonist of 
the Year Award from the National Press Foundation.
  American newspapers have traditionally carried political cartoons, 
much to the delight of their readers. While it usually takes political 
pundits hundreds of words to express an idea or assert an opinion, 
political cartoonists have the difficult task of capturing timely 
political issues in just a few deft strokes of the pen. One of the 
masters of this art form is Mr. David Horsey.
  Mr. Horsey, a Seattle native, has worked at the Seattle Post-
Intelligence's since 1979. Many readers turn to his drawings first 
thing in the morning, in order to enjoy his pungent and unique 
interpretation of the political scene. His cartoons never fail to show, 
literally, the affairs of the day with his own flair and style.
  I am so pleased that Mr. Horsey's work was honored by the National 
Press Foundation. I look forward to many more years of brilliant 
commentary in his cartoons. Since Mr. Horsey is dedicated to the truth, 
we can only hope that his caricatures of politicians become more 
forgiving.
