Among witnesses before the Subcommittee of the American Arts Alliance, the American Association of urns, the American Council for the Arts and the National Humanities A They testified on the importance of funding assistance to the various sectors they represent and focused their remarks on the significance of funding from NEA, NEH and IMS to their programs. The importance of federal leadership in the arts and humanities, and how NEA, NEH and IMS has served that important function over the years, was mentioned over and over during the hearing. On the significance of supporting the arts, actress Colleen Dewhurst, President of Actor's Equity Association, said, "The arts are an agent of economic development. The arts can be an agent of human development as well." Frank W. Lynch, Vice Chairman of Northrop Corporation, enriched the discussions by presenting his corporate perspective. He said, " •.. corporate giving to the arts has leveled and it would be unrealistic to believe that we will see any significant change to t:his trend." "Further," he added, "there are new pressures on corporate giving that have the potential to shift emphasis from one sector to another as social concerns change. To the extent this occurs it could create further problems for corporate giving to the arts." The Administration has proposed $170.100 million for NEA, $153.250 million for NEH and $22.350 million for IMS. Each of these funding requests represent an increase of $1 million, $250,000 and $80,000 for NEA, NEH and IMS respectively. The dollar amount of the requests, however, do not make up for the toll inflation has taken over the years. William P. Blair, Chairman of the American Arts Alliance, like others who came to testify, made a plea for a funding level that would put in )o accoun~{jr:e;;• or;: ~u~k~'»t ,~ L1'-i ~9---v~ I ~ ~JLu~_Q __ .g_ ~'-- , NATIONAL AFRICAN-AMKRICAN HERITAGE MEMORIAL MUSVPOSED Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) introduced a bill on March 22nd which would establish a National African-American Heritage Memorial Museum, located in Washington, D.C. (preferably on The Mall), and dedicated to collecting, cataloging, conserving, and displaying historical materials, artifacts and papers relating to the history and culture of African-Americans. In addition, the legislation would set up a Trust for Black Museums, which would be responsible for collecting artifacts, and training and developing black museum professionals. The proposed museum would be a semi-independent entity, loosely affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, with a board of directors appointed by the President of the United States. The bill authorizes $5 million in FY'90 to create an administrative structure for fundraising. -2-.

    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan

    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan Submitted by Joshua Koss To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College 1 Abstract Conventional wisdom in the study of members of Congress, pioneered by Richard Fenno, argues that one of the chief goals of elected officials is their reelection. However, this theory does not account for those who willingly retire from Congress. Who are these former members and what activities do they pursue once they leave office? To answer the first question, this project analyzes data on retired members of Congress from the state of Michigan regarding the years they served, party identification, and their age of retirement. The second and perhaps more interesting question in this research, examines the post-congressional careers of former members of Congress and whether their new line of work has any connections with their time in Congress through committee assignments and issue advocacy. In addition to quantitative analysis of the attributes of former members and their post-congressional careers, a qualitative analysis is conducted through a comparative case study of retired Senator Donald Riegle and former Representative Mike Rogers. This aspect of the study more closely examines their respective career paths through congress and post-congressional vocations. 2 Introduction In 1974, Democratic Congresswoman Martha Griffiths announced her retirement from the House of Representatives citing her age, 62, as a key motivation for the decision. After this, Griffiths would serve two terms as Michigan Lieutenant Governor before being dropped off the ticket, at the age of 78, due to concerns about her age, a claim she deemed “ridiculous” (“Griffiths, Martha Wright”).
