                         SALUTE TO CLIVE DAVIS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK FOLEY

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 23, 2001

  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who is 
equally famous for his many contributions to the music industry as he 
is for his dedication to public service.
  I speak of course, of industry legend Clive Davis.
  From Radio and Records Magazine's ``Most Influential Record Executive 
of the Past twenty Years'' and multiple Grammy Award winner to the 
Congress of Racial Equality's ``Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian of 
the Year,'' Clive Davis' gifts to American culture are great.
  He has personally helped launch the careers of some of our country's 
most cherished artists including Janis Joplin, Billy Joel, Bruce 
Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, Carlos Santana, Herbie 
Hancock and Pink Floyd just to name a few.
  The only person ever to receive the T.J. Martell Foundation's 
``Humanitarian of the Year'' award twice, Clive Davis is also committed 
to helping his fellow man. He's given much of himself and his money to 
support HIV/AIDS research.
  Mr. Speaker, please let the Record reflect this Congress' 
appreciation for his efforts.
