        HONORING PRESIDENT HUNTER RAWLINGS OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 6, 1996

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a minute to recognize 
the visit to Washington of the new president of Cornell University, 
Hunter Rawlings, and his wife, Elizabeth. President Rawlings succeeded 
Frank H.T. Rhodes in 1995 to become the 10th president of Cornell 
University, located in Ithaca, NY.
  President Rawlings was formerly the president of the University of 
Iowa and held many positions at the University of Colorado at Boulder 
in addition to serving on many professional boards and associations. He 
is already a well-known figure to Cornell students, especially since he 
stands 6'7'' tall, and brings an extraordinary record of 
accomplishments to Cornell.
  On June 15, the president will attend a picnic in his honor hosted by 
the Cornell Club of Washington at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Austin 
Kiplinger. I am glad to see that President Rawlings is interested in 
meeting Washingtonians and look forward to continuing close links 
between the university, its president, our own Washington institutions, 
and the high-level research functions of the Federal Government. I wish 
him well in his tenure as Cornell's president.
