                  NATIONAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE WEEK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. HENRY E. BROWN, JR.

                           of South Carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 1, 2003

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to recognize 
the tremendous contribution landscape architects make to the scenic 
beauty of the United States. Last week marked National Landscape 
Architecture Week. I would like to thank the industry and the American 
Society of Landscape Architects for all they do to improve our 
beautiful country.
  Landscape architects play a special role in creating the places in 
which we live, work, and play. They are dedicated to promoting the 
careful stewardship, planning, and artful design of our cultural and 
natural environments. The work of landscape architects reflects the 
variety and breadth of the profession, from the design of residential 
and commercial developments, office building sites, and public parks, 
to public sector comprehensive planning, environmental planning, and 
town planning.
  Though National Landscape Architects Week has passed, I urge all 
Americans to consider and recognize the many contributions made by 
landscape architects.
