in Media grant cycle. The Cliburn is among the 25 percent

an example of the wonderful culture we have in Fort Worth. The
competition is a world-class event, now with global access because
the Van Cliburn Foundation embraces new media that delivers the
talent at this competition to the world. I want to congratulate the
