(2) that the encouragement of creative activity in the performance and practice of the arts, and of a widespread participation in and appreciation of the arts, is essential to the general welfare and the national interest;

(3) that as workdays shorten and life expectancy lengthens, the arts will play an ever more important role in the lives of our citizens; and

(4) that the encouragement of the arts, while primarily a matter for private and local initiative, is an appropriate matter of concern to the United States Government.

SEC. 2. (a) (1) There is hereby established, in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, a Federal Advisory Commission on the Arts (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the "Commission"). The Commission shall be composed of twenty-four members appointed by the President, from among private citizens of the United States who are widely recognized for their knowledge of or experience or profound interest in, one or more of the arts.
