 RECOGNIZING BILL IVEY, CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 25, 2001

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, as the chair of the National Endowment for the 
Arts, Bill Ivey's contribution to the benefit and growth of American 
culture and arts education is undeniable. Since his chairmanship began 
in 1998, Bill Ivey's determined outreach has given more people in more 
places in our country the opportunity to learn about America's arts and 
cultural heritage. Under his leadership, the National Endowment for the 
Arts received bipartisan support for the critical need to adequately 
fund our national cultural agencies. While I am sad to see him leave, I 
wish Bill well in his future at Vanderbilt University and have no doubt 
that he will continue to contribute to the arts community and public 
service as he has for the past 30 years.
