   RECOGNITION OF THE HARRIMAN ARTS PROGRAM OF WILLIAM JEWELL COLLEGE

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
achievements of Dr. Richard Harriman. Dr. Harriman has been an integral 
part of the Fine Arts program at William Jewell College and on February 
25, 2000, the Fine Arts program will be named for him.
  Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Harriman presented the world 
professional recital debut by the world renowned Luciano Pavarotti in 
1973. Dr. Harriman has also presented other artists such as Isaac 
Stern, Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma.
  The Fine Arts program at William Jewell Incorporates an Education 
Series that offers free masters classes, workshops and discussions 
allowing Jewell students and community members to view artists in a 
less formal setting. Furthermore, the program was named in Peterson's 
Smart Parents Guide to College as an example of how small colleges can 
become centers of culture for an entire region.
  Mr. President, Dr. Harriman has been a tremendous asset to William 
Jewell College and, indeed, the entire Kansas City area. I ask that my 
colleagues join me in congratulating him on this most distinguished 
honor.
