WASHINGTON (AP)
The White House has nominated Jamie Doggett, past chairwoman of the Montana Committee for the Humanities, to be a member of the National Council on the Humanities. The national council is an independent government grantmaking agency that supports learning and public programs in history, literature, philosophy, languages, and other humanities disciplines. In a statement, Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., called Doggett a “good friend” and “the perfect person for this job.” White House Spokesman Alex Conant said Doggett has been a champion for the humanities. “She has a great vision for promoting the humanities across America and we look forward to a speedy Senate confirmation,” he said.
