                       HONORING LLOYD M. PELFREY

  Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, I rise today to commend Lloyd Pelfrey 
for his service to Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, 
Missouri. Mr. Pelfrey, an ordained minister of the Christian Church 
since 1953, will retire as President of the college on May 8, 1998.
  President Pelfrey's service to Central Christian College started when 
the school opened in September 1957. He has worn many hats during his 
tenure at the school, serving as: the President of the college, the 
Acting President, the Executive President, the Dean of Faculty, the 
Academic Dean, and a Professor of Old Testament. On April 6, 1973, Mr. 
Pelfrey became the fourth President of Central Christian College. He 
has held this esteemed position longer than any other president of the 
college.
  Under President Pelfrey's leadership many exciting transformations 
have occurred at the college. He oversaw the completion in the 
construction of the Memorial building. Central Christian College 
received accreditation with the Accrediting Association of Bible 
College under President Pelfrey's administration. He also contributed 
to an increase in the college's endowment.
  I wish President Pelfrey all the best and thank him for his service 
to the community of Central Christian College of the Bible. May God 
bless him and protect him in his future endeavors.
