  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mr. James E. White, 
rural housing specialist of the USDA, rural development. Mr. White 
retired on May 31, 1997 after a distinguished 26-year career.
  He began his Federal career with Farmers Home Administration in 1971 
as an assistant county supervisor in Lincoln, II. He was promoted to 
county supervisor in Golconda/Metropolis in 1975. His final career move 
was to rural housing specialist in the Illinois State office in 1976. 
Mr. White remained in that position until his retirement.
  Mr. Speaker, today I would like to bring the achievements of James 
White to the attention of my colleagues in the House, and ask that they 
join me in expressing our appreciation and congratulations to Mr. White 
for his tremendous service to the people of Illinois.
