T57.11 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT—

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

HASTINGS of Washington, laid before

the House a message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

It is my special pleasure to transmit

herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the

fiscal year 1993.

The National Endowment for the

Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants

since 1965 for arts projects that touch

every community in the Nation.

Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch

and sustain the voice and grace of a

generation—such as the brilliance of

Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate,

or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance

the performing, literary, and visual

arts.

Since its inception, the Arts endowment has believed that all children

should have an education in the arts.

Over the past few years, the agency has

worked hard to include the arts in our

national education reform movement.

Today, the arts are helping to lead the

way in renewing American schools.

I have seen first-hand the success

story of this small agency. In my home

State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and

the private sector to bring artists into

our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and

jazz, literature and music. All across

the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and

artists. People in communities small

and large in every State have greater

opportunities to participate and enjoy

the arts. We all benefit from this increased arts presence, and yet the cost

is just 65 cents per American. The payback in economic terms has always

been several-fold. The payback in

human benefit is incalculable.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON.

THE WHITE HOUSE, April 6, 1995.

By unanimous consent, the message

together with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on

Economic and Educational Opportunities.

HASTINGS of Washington, by unanimous consent, designated Mr. DUNCAN

as Chairman of the Committee of the

Whole; and after some time spent

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

MCINNIS, assumed the Chair.

When Mr. DUNCAN, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 126, reported

The previous question having been
