To order write to: Library of Congress, American Folklife Center, 101 Independence Avenue, SE, Washington, D.C. 20540-4610. Scroll down for text. Like Edgar Allen Poe's purloined letter, folklife is often hidden in full view, lodged in the various ways we have of discovering and expressing who we are and how we fit into the world. Folklife is reflected in the names we bear from birth, invoking affinities with saints, ancestors, or cultural heroes. Folklife is your grandfather and great-uncles telling stories of your father when he was a boy. It is the secret languages of children, the codenames of CB operators, and the working slang of watermen and doctors. It is the sung parodies of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and the parables told in church or home to delight and instruct. It is African-American rhythms embedded in gospel hymns, bluegrass music, and hip hop, and it is the Lakota flutist rendering anew his people's ancient courtship songs.
Extractions: MUSEUM FOR NATIONS CAPITAL WASHINGTON, May 3, 2001 Cong. Charles Rangel today announced his support of legislation to establish an African-American Museum in Washington. Its time to create a place where visitors to the nations can witness the record of tribulations and contributions by African Americans during 400 years of life in America, Cong. Rangel said. The national museum will serve not only as an exhibit hall for state-of-the-art exhibits of materials pertaining to African American history, art and culture, but will also function as a focal point for research and scholarship in African-American studies, Cong. Rangel said. I commend my colleague, Rep. John Lewis, who has dedicated many years of effort to this initiative, and I will continue to support him Cong. Rangel is an original cosponsor of the bill that was introduced by Cong. Lewis today authorizing establishment of the African American Museum on the national mall in Washington. The museum would be within the Smithsonian Institution, and located in the current Arts and Industries building on the mall. The legislation provides for shared private and government funding. Home

Extractions: Rayburn House Office Building Introduction Good morning, Congressman Burton and Members of the Committee. I am Richard Kaplan, M.D., of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). I am a Senior Investigator in the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program and I coordinate NCI's extramural clinical research on prostate cancer treatment. I am accompanied today by Jeffrey White, M.D., Director of the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine. I am pleased to appear before you today to describe NCI's prostate cancer research program and our growing interest in complementary and alternative approaches to prostate and other cancers. The Congress has asked NIH to make prostate cancer a top priority in allocating funding increases; to accelerate spending on prostate cancer; and to consult closely with the research community. Under Dr. Klausner's leadership, NCI has undertaken a vigorous effort to respond in all of these areas. The nature and magnitude of the burden of prostate cancer has been tracked by NCI's surveillance program, and we estimate that about 180,000 men will be newly diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and about 37,000 will die. Prostate cancer exacts a particularly devastating toll on African American men; incidence rates are substantially higher among African Americans, and mortality rates in African American men remain more than twice as high as rates in white men.

Extractions: Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: The President in his FY 2000 budget has proposed that the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) receive $65.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million over the comparable FY 1999 appropriation. Including the estimated allocation for AIDS, total support provided for NINR is $71.73 million, an increase of $1.7 million over the FY 1999 appropriation. Funds for NINR efforts in AIDS research are included within the Office of AIDS Research budget request. NINR-supported nursing research provides a scientific base for patient care and is used by many disciplines among healthcare professionals-especially by the nation's 2.5 million nurses. NINR-supported research is not disease specific, nor is it dedicated to a particular age group or population. Nursing research addresses the issues that examine the core of patients' and families' personal encounters with illness, treatment, and disease prevention. NINR's primary activity is clinical research, and most of the studies we support directly involve patients. The basic science we support is linked to patient problems.

Extractions: (Washington, DC) Today, Members of the Congressional Black Caucus joined Representatives John Lewis (D-GA) and J.C. Watts (R-OK) to announce legislation to establish a national African American history museum on the National Mall in Washington. The new museum will be housed in the Smithsonians Arts and Industries Building located on the National Mall. Senators Max Cleland (D-GA) and Sam Brownback (R-KS) will introduce companion legislation in the Senate. "African American history is an integral part of our country, yet the vital contributions of African Americans go virtually unrecognized," said Congressman John Lewis, a principal Congressional sponsor of the legislation. "None of us can have a full understanding of American history until the African American story is told." The museum will house a permanent collection of artifacts and historical materials showcasing over 400 years of African American history and culture; thus, preserving a record of the experiences of African Americans. In addition to serving as an exhibition hall for the exhibits of materials pertaining to African American history, it will also function as a focal point for research and scholarship in African American studies. "A National Museum of African American history and culture will preserve these important contributions and moments in history and will inspire future generations to dream, to write, to march and to teach," said Congressman Lewis.
