Mickey Hart of the musical group Grateful Dead has been appointed to the board of the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress. Last June he took a break during his first board meeting to meet with Sen. Patrick J. Lahy (D-Vt.) (left) and Sen. Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.). The group then met with Sen. Thomas Daschle (D-S.D.), minority leader of the Senate, where Mr. Hart urged the senators to support the Library's efforts to preserve "endangered music" on archival audiotape.
