I think we have to commend Jane Alexander. a remarkably astute. bright. effervescent lady who knows what the problems of the NEA are and has sought to correct them. and has done a magnificent job of that. Also Sheldon Hackney of the National Endowment of the Humanities knows the problems. perceives them. intelligently looks at them. and has to suffer. along with Jane Alexander. the slings and arrows of an outrageous fortune. especially when he proposes something. I think. as vital as having a "National Conversation." which would be well worth doing. so that instead of the subterranean dealings with issues such as immigration and racism and homosexuality. we would discuss those things in a national conversation. where people could come into a civil surrounding and talk instead of just saying the most evil thing and writing the most outrageous columnsdoing all the divisive things that are done in this remarkable arena. I think this is an excellent step. I am proud to cosponsor it.
