           HONORING THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL E. CAPUANO

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 29, 2011

  Mr. CAPUANO. Mr. Speaker, today I introduced a resolution commending 
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences on its centuries of work as 
an independent, non-partisan research institution and on the induction 
of its newest class of members. The resolution and the list of new 
inductees to the Academy from Massachusetts follow.

                               Resolution

       Commending the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and 
     its 231st Class of members on the occasion of the 
     institution's October 1, 2011, Induction ceremony in 
     Cambridge, Massachusetts.
       Whereas these 211 new members earned election to the 
     American Academy of Arts and Sciences for extraordinary 
     individual achievement;
       Whereas they are among the world's most influential 
     artists, scientists, scholars, authors, and institutional 
     leaders;
       Whereas in accepting membership into the American Academy 
     of Arts and Sciences, these individuals agreed to contribute 
     their talents, experience and knowledge to help the Academy 
     advance the Nation's social welfare;
       Whereas the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an 
     august, quintessentially American institution founded by John 
     Adams and other scholar-patriots during our Nation's brave 
     struggle for Independence;
       Whereas the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, chaired 
     by Louis W. Cabot and led by President Leslie C. Berlowitz, 
     is a vital center of knowledge focused on the great 
     challenges and concerns of the day, from science and 
     technology policy to global security; social policy to the 
     humanities; and culture and education;
       Whereas members of the American Academy of Arts and 
     Sciences include more than 250 Nobel laureates, some 100 
     Pulitzer Prize winners, and the world's most celebrated 
     artists and performers; and
       Whereas the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as an 
     independent, nonpartisan research institution, exhibits a 
     standard for civil discourse to which organizations 
     everywhere can aspire: Now therefore be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) extends heartfelt congratulations to the American 
     Academy of Arts and Sciences and its newest members;
       (2) salutes the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for 
     its continuing service and intellectual leadership around the 
     country and across the world; and
       (3) wishes the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and 
     its 231st Class of members good luck and Godspeed with future 
     Academy endeavors.
