SUBCHAPTER I - NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES

-HEAD-

Sec. 951. Declaration of findings and purposes

-STATUTE-

The Congress finds and declares the following:

(1) The arts and the humanities belong to all the people of the

United States.

(2) The encouragement and support of national progress and

scholarship in the humanities and the arts, while primarily a

matter for private and local initiative, are also appropriate

matters of concern to the Federal Government.

(3) An advanced civilization must not limit its efforts to

science and technology alone, but must give full value and

support to the other great branches of scholarly and cultural

activity in order to achieve a better understanding of the past,

a better analysis of the present, and a better view of the

future.

(4) Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens. It

must therefore foster and support a form of education, and access

to the arts and the humanities, designed to make people of all

backgrounds and wherever located masters of their technology and

not its unthinking servants.

(5) It is necessary and appropriate for the Federal Government

to complement, assist, and add to programs for the advancement of

the humanities and the arts by local, State, regional, and

private agencies and their organizations. In doing so, the

Government must be sensitive to the nature of public

sponsorship. Public funding of the arts and humanities is

subject to the conditions that traditionally govern the use of

public money. Such funding should contribute to public support

and confidence in the use of taxpayer funds. Public funds

provided by the Federal Government must ultimately serve public

purposes the Congress defines.

(6) The arts and the humanities reflect the high place accorded

by the American people to the nation's rich cultural heritage and

to the fostering of mutual respect for the diverse beliefs and

values of all persons and groups.

(7) The practice of art and the study of the humanities require

constant dedication and devotion. While no government can call a

great artist or scholar into existence, it is necessary and

appropriate for the Federal Government to help create and sustain

not only a climate encouraging freedom of thought, imagination,

and inquiry but also the material conditions facilitating the

release of this creative talent.

(8) The world leadership which has come to the United States

cannot rest solely upon superior power, wealth, and technology,

but must be solidly founded upon worldwide respect and admiration

for the Nation's high qualities as a leader in the realm of ideas

and of the spirit.

(9) Americans should receive in school, background and

preparation in the arts and humanities to enable them to

recognize and appreciate the aesthetic dimensions of our lives,

the diversity of excellence that comprises our cultural heritage,

and artistic and scholarly expression.

(10) It is vital to a democracy to honor and preserve its

multicultural artistic heritage as well as support new ideas, and

therefore it is essential to provide financial assistance to its

artists and the organizations that support their work.

(11) To fulfill its educational mission, achieve an orderly

continuation of free society, and provide models of excellence to

the American people, the Federal Government must transmit the

achievement and values of civilization from the past via the

present to the future, and make widely available the greatest

achievements of art.

(12) In order to implement these findings and purposes, it is

desirable to establish a National Foundation on the Arts and the

Humanities.

by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, from private

life. Such members shall be individuals who (1) are selected from

among private citizens of the United States who are recognized for

their broad knowledge of, expertise in, or commitment to the

humanities, and (2) have established records of distinguished

service and scholarship or creativity and in a manner which will

provide a comprehensive representation of the views of scholars and

professional practitioners in the humanities and of the public

throughout the United States. The President is requested in the

making of such appointments to give consideration to such

recommendations as may from time to time be submitted to him by

leading national organizations concerned with the humanities. In

making such appointments, the President shall give due regard to

equitable representation of women, minorities, and individuals with

disabilities who are involved in the humanities.

Each member shall hold office for a term of six years, except

that (1) the members first taking office shall serve, as designated

by the President, nine for terms of two years, nine for terms of

four years, and eight for terms of six years, and (2) any member

appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the

term for which such member's predecessor was appointed. No member

shall be eligible for reappointment during the two-year period

following the expiration of such member's term. Notwithstanding

any other provisions of this subsection, a member shall serve after

the expiration of such member's term until such member's successor

takes office.

The Council shall meet at the call of the Chairperson but not

less often than twice during each calendar year. Fourteen members

of the Council shall constitute a quorum.

policies, programs, and procedures for carrying out the

Chairperson's functions, and (2) shall review applications for

financial support and make recommendations thereon to the

Chairperson. The Chairperson shall not approve or disapprove any

such application until the Chairperson has received the

recommendation of the Council on such application, unless the

Council fails to make a recommendation thereon within a reasonable

time. In the case of any application involving $30,000, or less,

the Chairperson may approve or disapprove such request if such

action is taken pursuant to the terms of a delegation of authority

from the Council to the Chairperson, and provided that each such

action by the Chairperson shall be reviewed by the Council:

Provided, That the terms of any such delegation of authority shall

not permit obligations for expenditure of funds under such

delegation for any fiscal year which exceed an amount equal to 10

per centum of the sums appropriated for that fiscal year pursuant
