               RECOGNIZING THE CAREER OF RANDY ROSENBAUM

  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished career of an extraordinary Rhode Islander, my friend 
Randy Rosenbaum.
  For 27 years, Randy has served as the executive director of the Rhode 
Island State Council on the Arts, where he helped Rhode Island artists 
to share their gifts and talents with the rest of the world.
  From the up-and-coming artist to the well-established, the young 
artists to the old, Randy lifted up the work of a diverse, new 
generation of Rhode Island artists.
  To put it simply, he is to the Rhode Island arts community what the 
smile is to the Mona Lisa.
  Randy has left an indelible mark on the Rhode Island arts scene, 
increasing RISCA funding ninefold, putting the Ocean State on the map 
as a film location, and supporting Rhode Island's $2 billion arts 
economy.
  Randy's leadership, now that he is retiring after 30 years at the 
helm of RISCA, will surely be missed, but his legacy lives on through 
his countless accomplishments.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Randy on his retirement, and I wish him 
all the best in his next chapter.
