                     TRIBUTE TO S. LANE FAISON, JR.

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Madam President, today I rise to recognize the 
contributions of S. Lane Faison, Jr., to American art education and 
museums, and to acknowledge with gratitude, his 20-year service as a 
trustee of the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont.
  Professor Faison's seventy year career as an art history teacher, 
curator, scholar, and administrator reflects his significant efforts in 
the advancement of art, and its importance to our cultural identity. 
His scholarly influence has been extensive, and he has created an 
extraordinary legacy that he has generously shared with his community.
  Since 1981, Professor Faison has given his time and expertise as a 
highly valued and appreciated trustee of the Bennington Museum. It is 
very fitting that the Bennington Museum Board of Trustees has chosen to 
honor him through the establishment of a fund designated exclusively 
for enhancing exhibitions. It is my pleasure to acknowledge the ``S. 
Lane Faison, Jr., Exhibition Endowment Fund'' and to congratulate 
Professor Faison on the establishment of this fund in his 
honor.
