    CONGRATULATONS TO DR. DONALD C. HINES, PRESIDENT OF LIVINGSTON 
                               UNIVERSITY

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, I am pleased to congratulate Dr. Donald C. 
Hines, the new president of Alabama's Livingston University. A native 
of Ripley, MS, Dr. Hines earned both his bachelor of science and master 
of science degrees from Mississippi State University in agricultural 
economics and economic theory and the doctor of philosophy degree from 
Kansas State University in general economics with a specialization in 
regional economics, public finance, and agricultural economics.
  After the completion of his doctorate, Dr. Hines returned to the 
South and began his career in both education and public service. In 
1973, he joined the faculty of Troy State University's School of 
Business as an assistant professor. He let Troy in 1981 as the 
assistant dean and coordinator of graduate studies to come to 
Livingston University as dean of the College of Business and Commerce, 
where he remained until 1987.
  From 1987 to 1993, he was the chief of planning and economic 
development and assistant director of the Alabama Department of 
Economic and Community Affairs [ADECA]. During this time, Dr. Hines 
worked on projects such as coastal zone management, community 
development block grants, and land and water conservation grants.
  His administrative talents have led him to serve on the board of 
directors of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterways Development Council, 
Tennessee-Cumberland Waterways Council, and the Southern Business 
Administration Association.
  Dr. Hines has been honored as an outstanding faculty member at both 
Troy State and Livingston Universities. He has also been recognized in 
the ``Who's Who in Computer Sciences'', ``Who's Who in the South'', 
``Who's Who in the Southwest'', and ``International Businessmen.''
  I congratulate Dr. Donald C. Hines on his appointment as president of 
Livingston University and wish him all the best for a most productive 
and successful tenure.
