Dear Sen/Rep-
I urge your immediate intervention regarding the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Board’s recent approval of the President’s request to shut down the center for renovation.
The Kennedy Center requires no structural overhaul. Congress provides its capital and maintenance budget annually ($32–$43 million) and would be aware of any such needs. Moreover, neither the President nor the Board has provided a public, independent analysis of the building. Demand Congressional oversight and input.
I urge you to insist that Congressionally designated board members like Representative Joyce Beatty and Senator Mark Warner be included in all board meetings and provided all board information as well as be allowed to vote. The board should be bipartisan; it is no longer. Congress created this memorial, and it should have active and meaningful Congressional oversight. I urge you to co-sponsor or introduce legislation reaffirming Congressional authority over the Center's governance, design and maintenance without delay.
The Kennedy Center deserves to remain what Congress intended: a dignified, solemn memorial and cultural institution for all Americans -- not another project designed primarily for personal glorification.
