TITLE I—AMENDMENTS TO THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION 
ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES ACT OF 1965 
SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
Section 2 of the National Foundation on the Arts and the Human-
ities Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 951) is amended to read as follows: 
"DECLARATION OF FINDINGS AND PURPOSES 
"SEC. 2. The Congress finds and declares the following: 
"(1) The arts and the humanities belong to all the people of 
the United States. 
"(2) The encouragement and support of national progress and 
scholarship in the humanities and the arts, while primarily a 
matter for private and local initiative, are also appropriate 
matters of concern to the Federal Government. 
"(3) An advanced civilization must not limit its efforts to 
science and technology alone, but must give full value and 
support to the other great branches of scholarly and cultural 
activity in order to achieve a better understanding of the past, a 
better analysis of the present, and a better view of the future. 
"(4) Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens. It 
must therefore foster and support a form of education, and 
access to the arts and the humanities, designed to make people 
of all backgrounds and wherever located masters of their 
technology and not its unthinking servants. 
"(5) It is necessary and appropriate for the Federal Govern-
ment to complement, assist, and add to programs for the 
advancement of the humanities and the arts by local, State, 
regional, and private agencies and their organizations. In doing 
so, the Government must be sensitive to the nature of public 
sponsorship. Public funding of the arts and humanities is sub-
ject to the conditions that traditionally govern the use of public 
money. Such funding should contribute to public support and 
confidence in the use of taxpayer funds. Public funds provided 
by the Federal Government must ultimately serve public pur-
poses the Congress defines. 
"(6) The arts and the humanities reflect the high place ac-
corded by the American people to the nation's rich cultural 
heritage and to the fostering of mutual respect for the diverse 
beliefs and values of all persons and groups. 
"(7) The practice of art and the study of the humanities 
require constant dedication and devotion. While no government 
can call a great artist or scholar into existence, it is necessary 
and appropriate for the Federal Government to help create and 
sustain not only a climate encouraging freedom of thought, 
imagination, and inquiry but also the material conditions facili-
tating the release of this creative talent. 
"(8) The world leadership which has come to the United 
States cannot rest solely upon superior power, wealth, and 
technology, but must be solidly founded upon worldwide respect 
and admiration for the Nation's high qualities as a leader in the 
realm of ideas and of the spirit. 
"(9) Americans should receive in school, background and 
preparation in the arts and humanities to enable them to 
recognize and appreciate the aesthetic dimensions of our lives.

the diversity of excellence that comprises our cultural heritage, 
and artistic and scholarly expression. 
"(10) It is vital to a democracy to honor and preserve its 
multicultural artistic heritage as well as support new ideas, and 
therefore it is essential to provide financial assistance to its 
artists and the organizations that support their work. 
"(11) To fulfill its educational mission, achieve an orderly 
continuation of free society, and provide models of excellence to 
the American people, the Federal Government must transmit 
the achievement and values of civilization from the past via the 
present to the future, and make widely available the greatest 
achievements of art. 
"(12) In order to implement these findings and purposes, it is 
desirable to establish a National Foundation on the Arts and 
the Humanities.".
