            CELEBRATING THE ARTISTRY OF WILLIAM KRAWCZEWICZ

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. STENY H. HOYER

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 21, 1999

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
artist, William Krawczewicz, whose design was recently selected to 
appear on the back of the Maryland quarter, to be issued in March of 
2000.
  The U.S Mint will issue fifty different designs of the official 
quarter for the fifty different states, each quarter depicting features 
of its state. Mr. Krawczewicz's winning design features the state 
Capitol building in Annapolis, Maryland, the only statehouse that also 
once served as the Nation's Capitol. The design was chosen from among 
the approximately 280 designs depicting different aspects of Maryland.
  This is not the first time Mr. Krawczewicz's artwork has been 
recognized. Over the years, he has won a number of awards and one of 
his designs was selected for a 1994 Olympic coin commemorative set. 
When he is not producing coin designs, Mr. Krawczewicz works as a 
graphic designer for the White House.
  I would like to congratulate Mr. Krawczewicz for his artistry and for 
his contribution to the commemoration of the state of Maryland.
