“I would like to recognize Jay Kislak, an outstanding member of the South Florida community. Jay is the chairman of the Jay I. Kislak Foundation, which is engaged in a collection of rare books, manuscripts, maps, and indigenous art of the Americas. Through his foundation, Jay has worked to ensure that present and future generations will have a deeper understanding of our glorious past. As a testament to his expansive knowledge and appreciation for art, Jay was appointed by President Bush to be chairman of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, a group tasked with directing the government's efforts to protect antiquities around the world. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Jay Kislak for his profound contribution to the cultural enrichment of our community and our Nation.”
