The appointment of a
White House Liaison to the Committee was an outgrowth of the initial
President's Task Force on the Arts and Humanities which met in the summer of
1981 with various local arts and civic groups gathering ideas and
recommendations about administration policy on the arts and humanities. The Task Force recommended the establishment
of the Committee to help coordinate the activities of the two Endowments
(National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities) and
to pursue private sector funding for the arts and humanities. The Committee's honorary chairman was Nancy
Reagan, and the chairman was Andrew Heiskell,
Chairman of Time, Inc. The Committee had an executive
director (Diane Brokaw) and its records are federal records.
In August 1982,
Theresa Elmore was appointed White House Liaison for the Arts and Humanities in
addition to her administrative duties at the White House. The White House had no budget or staff for
this position, so Ms. Elmore performed this function on an
"as-needed" and "part-time" basis. Ms. Elmore left her
position in the Administrative Office in the fall of 1984 for the Office of
Intergovernmental Affairs. The position
of White House Liaison for the Arts and Humanities was taken over by Donna Blume until the position was eliminated in 1985.
