        The President today announced his intention to nominate 10 scholars
    and civic leaders, including 2 winners of MacArthur Foundation
    fellowships, the so-called genius awards, to the National Council on the
    Humanities.
        ``Over the past three decades, our Nation's cultural life has become
    immensely richer because of the work of the National Endowment for the
    Humanities. The scholars and distinguished citizens I am naming today
    will help that tradition of excellence to continue to flourish,'' the
    President said.
        The nominees are: Ramon Gutierrez, Darryl Gless, Charles Patrick
    Henry, Nicolas Kanellos, Bev Lindsey, Robert Rotberg, John D'Arms,
    Thomas Holt, Martha Howell, and Harold Skramstad.

    the Press Secretary. This item was not received in time for publication
