The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:13 a.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Jeffords (chair- man of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Jeffords, De Wine, Hutchinson, Warner, Ken- nedy, Dodd, Bingaman, and Reed. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEFFORDS The CHAIRMAN. Good morning. Today we will be discussing the reauthorization of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. As we have a number of people to hear from this morning, my comments will be brief. While we will cover the issue of reauthor- ization with a broad brush today, the particular focus of this hear- ing is education. Both agencies have great potential to enhance and improve the educational opportunities for the people of our Nation. We must explore ways in which we can increase the capacity each agency has to feed the need for learning that exists throughout the country.° The NEH and the NEA are agencies that have had some serious problems over the yearsthere is no doubt about thatnot created by them, I will say. Congress tends to spend a lot of time discuss- ing controversial grants. In response to these concerns, the Senate during the last Congress closed the loopholes that existed in the administration of the NEA, greatly reducing the likelihood of past mistakes being repeated in the future. Still, what I have come to realize in the perennial debate that occurs on the Federal role in supporting the arts and humanities is that most times, the meaningful accomplishments of theseagen- cies are lost in the shuffle. Education is primary among these accomplishments. Both of these agencies provide support for extraordinary educationpro- grams which benefit kids in elementary and secondary schools, col- lege students, parents, day care providersin other words, all kinds of people in all parts of the country. (1) 2 There are other noteworthy programs that, with a little invest- ment from the NEA or the NEH, could be replicated and their ben- efits realized by a broader audience. This committee passed a reauthorization bill last Congress by a bipartisan vote of 12 to 4. That bill made substantial changes aimed at tightening up the administration of both agencies, closing loopholes, providing more direction as to how Federal funds should be spent, and merging and streamlining some functions. It is legis- lation that I hope we can use as a basis for the discussion this year. I am confident that we will be able to move forward this Con- gress and craft legislation that addresses concerns yet allows the agencies to continue to fulfill their mission of increasing access to the arts and humanities for the benefit of the American public. Senator Kennedy? OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR KENNEDY Senator KENNEDY. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for con- vening this hearing on the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities. These agencies are small, but their impact is enor- mous. Programs supported by the Endowments are found in com- munities in every corner of the country. Amid the reckless calls for dismantling these agencies, Chairman Jeffords has been a strong and determined voice calling for their renewal, and I commend him for his leadership. It is a privilege to welcome Chairmen Jane Alexander and Shel- don Hackney. They have done exceptional jobs guiding their agen- cies through this period of attacks and controversies. Under their skillful guidance, the agencies have reached even higher levels of excellence, if not funding; and we will have to

Letter from the Chair of the Board of Trustees Dear Friends and Supporters of the Academy of Mount St. Ursula, Thirty-seven years ago, I became a member of the Mount St. Ursula community when I joined the faculty as a young music teacher. I spent three wonderful years in that position, and although in relative terms my time as an AMSU faculty member was fairly brief, the School and its extraordinary community left an indelible mark on me that continues to shape my professional and personal perspectives. AMSU was then, and remains now, a very special place, one that embodies the Ursuline tradition of service and academic excellence on a daily basis. The dedicated faculty and staff, under the leadership of Sr. Jean Marie Humphries, osu, PhD ’89, continues today to challenge young women to become committed, purpose-driven leaders whose accomplishments enrich their communities and the lives of others in many ways. I can’t think of a better example of Catholic education at its best.
