Dear Ms. Arre:

On behalf of the Senate Majority Task Force on the Columbus Quincentennial, I am pleased to present you with a Commemorative Collector's Edition copy of "The Legacy of Christopher Columbus Art and Sculpture Treasures - A Sampling."

This publication represents our 1993 Quincentennial year project of compiling and listing a sampling of monuments, statues, plaques and art works centering on Christopher Columbus and the age of discovery and exploration.

Your report has been numbered and signed by Constance Del Vecchio Maltese, who painted the "Young Columbus" reproduced on the cover of this report. We hope that this report will not only be of historical artistic interest to you, but will also become a treasured souvenir of our Quincentennial and a legacy of Christopher Columbus.
