For every dollar the endowment awards, other sources contribute $12 to make art happen in thousands of communities.

The NEA is an independent agency of the Federal government charged with supporting the arts in America for All Americans.

The NEH is vital to our educational systems and provides numerous services in the area of the humanities.

I urge my colleagues to support funding for both the NEA and the NEH.

NEH also provides many educational tools for children.

I am excited and honored to join in this celebration and encourage all to participate in the Moonfest 1999 activities.

I also want to thank the U.S.S. Hornet, her crew and all of the people involved with the Apollo Program for successfully bringing the Apollo 11 crew home safely.

This milestone will be commemorated aboard the U.S.S. Hornet Museum with a nine-day festival, called 'Moonfest 1999.'

This historic landing, and the many that followed, was achieved in large part by the dedication and creativity of several California aerospace corporations and their subcontractors.

Moonfest 1999 is an event blending history, education and family entertainment together in celebration of one of the greatest achievements of the 20th Century.

Planning for the first human landing on the moon began in April 1957 and in July 1960, NASA named the program 'Project Apollo' with five goals.

I rise in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing by astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Michael Collins.

I proudly join citizens throughout the world in celebrating the 30th anniversary of the monumental achievement of the first lunar landing.

Judge had a strong work ethic and worked two and sometimes three jobs for practically all of his adult life.

I don't think that's smart horse-trading, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, we don't need any more timber roads. Construction of timber roads uses U.S. taxpayer dollars to pay for the business costs of the timber industry, and results in the degradation of soil, water quality and wildlife habitat.

If you pull out your calculator, Mr. Chairman, you'll find that 440,000 miles is enough to encircle the globe 17 times; that's ten times more road miles than we have in the Interstate Highway System.

I urge my colleagues to support the Miller amendment to protect roadless areas in our National Forest System.
