       National Endowment for the Arts -- Appendix: Art in 
       architecture commissioned artwork data. 
520    Few Americans are aware that Washington is the country's 
       largest single patron of art. Every year a group of 
       unelected federal bureaucrats and congressmen spends 
       millions of taxpayer dollars on monuments, sculptures, 
       buildings, plays, and exhibitions, largely without public 
       knowledge or involvement. Frank Gehry's outlandish 
       memorial to President Eisenhower, an installation that 
       blinks quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt in Morse code at a 
       cash-strapped Veterans Administration hospital, a giant 
       $750,00 wood sculpture whose fumes sickened workers in an 
       FBI building in Miami, FL, and funding for research on the
       visual cultures of tea consumption in Imperial India are 
       just a few of the hundreds of unwanted and wasteful 
       projects supported annually by the General Services 
       Administration, the National Endowments for the Arts and 
       Humanities, and their enablers on Capitol Hill. In this 
       book, Bruce Cole, the longest serving chairman of the 
       National Endowment for the Humanities, exposes the 
       programs and policies responsible for this glut of 
       unsupervised bureaucratic pork and offers suggestions for 
       their reform or elimination.
