Mr. Kaplan was also the Executive Director of the Merage Foundation.
  Marshall Kaplan is the former Dean of the University of Colorado, 
Graduate School of Public Affairs, where he also headed the Wirth Chair 
and Institute for Public Policy. Mr. Kaplan also served in the Carter 
and Kennedy administrations, as an Advisor to Assistant Secretary Floyd 
Hyde when George Romney was Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing 
and Urban Development (HUD). Mr. Kaplan also was a senior official at 
HUD, and a principal in the national policy advisory firm Marshall 
Kaplan, Gans & Khan. He has written several books and numerous articles 
on regional and urban policy, environment and social welfare policy, 
and poverty.
  I am honored to recognize Mr. Marshall Kaplan for his commitment to 
El Sol Academy in my district.
