Based on the foregoing justification, the following motion, proposed by the Secretary and concurred in the Executive Committee, was approved by the Board of Regents:

VOTED that the Board of Regents awards the Henry Medal to Gordon N. Ray in recognition of his important contributions to the Smithsonian Institution as Chairman of the Smithsonian Council. His distinguished leadership of the Council since 1970 has added a singular dimension to its value as an independent forum, meeting each year, to offer informed and constructive counsel on the Institution's progress in advancing knowledge and public education in art, history, and science.

It was agreed that the Medal will be presented to Dr. Ray at the May Regents dinner.
