- NEA Chairman Bill Ivey outlined a “cultural bill of rights” in a speech Monday and said Americans have reason to believe the Bush administration will be supportive of the arts. “He cited increased spending on the arts under the Bush’s governorship in Texas as a cause for optimism [and] noted the increase in the NEA budget to $105 million for this year, the first since 1992, came as a result of a bipartisan effort in Congress.” – New Jersey Online (AP) 12/18/00
