  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Ted and Frani Bickart for receiving the 2014 City of Golden Mayor's 
Award of Excellence.
  The City of Golden honors Ted and Frani Bickart for their service to 
the Golden community, specifically their support of Golden's culture, 
civics and students. Ted served as President of the Colorado School of 
Mines from 1998 to 2000. During that time and after, Ted and Frani 
devoted themselves to deepening the town-and-gown bond and to enriching 
Golden's quality of life. Today Ted serves as chair of the Golden Urban 
Renewal Authority and devotes time to high school and university 
education issues. Frani has been chair of the Jefferson Symphony 
Orchestra Board and the Symphony International Young Artists 
Competition, as well as a longtime volunteer for the Foothills Art 
Center, Golden History Museums, and Golden Fortnightly Club.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Ted and Frani Bickart for this 
well-deserved recognition by the City of Golden.
