                HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY TO KATHERINE DUNHAM

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 90th 
birthday of Ms. Katherine Dunham. Ms. Dunham has made major 
contributions in the areas of Dance, Choreography, Musical Composition, 
Poetry, Anthropology, and has been a champion for the causes of Human 
Rights and World Peace. Over the course of her career, she has won more 
than 70 international awards including being selected as a Kennedy 
Center Honoree. For the past 31 years, Ms. Dunham has lived in East St. 
Louis, where she has used her talents to enrich the lives of the 
regions' youth. Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join with me in 
wishing Ms. Katherine Dunham a very special 90th birthday.
