On the recordFebruary 3, 1995
for a quarter century I have been involved with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. I was a member of its first board of trustees in 1969, and served as vice chairman from 1971 to 1976. During the center's existence, five remarkable men have served as chairmen of its board: Hubert H. Humphrey, 1969-72; William J. Baroody, Sr., 1972-79; Max M. Kampelman, 1979-82; William J. Baroody, Jr., 1982-94; and now Joseph H. Flom, 1994- . William J. Baroody, Jr.'s term on the board expired just this week, and I would like to join his colleagues at the Wilson Center in honoring his remarkable tenure.
