                          DR. JAMES D. STRAUSS

  (Mr. REDMOND asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REDMOND. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege this morning to welcome 
to the U.S. House of Representatives Dr. James D. Strauss. Professor 
Strauss was born on July 3, 1929, at a transition time in our history. 
He has studied in the United States, France and Germany. Professor 
Emeritus of Lincoln Christian Seminary, Lincoln, Illinois, he has 
taught philosophy and theology for 30 years.
  His special emphasis has been the influence of scientific development 
on the Christian world view. His major concern is to critique the 
impact of media and education on the Christian faith in our 
multicultural pluralistic era.
  Dr. Strauss is no ordinary professor. For 40 years his sharp mind has 
ignited sleeping minds, his commitment has influenced great 
accomplishments in others, his servant's heart has moved others to 
service. His profound grasp of reality has inspired others in such a 
way that they understand their place in the universe. He has 
acknowledged that if he has made any contribution in his journey at 
all, it is because he has stood on the backs of giants.
  With humility, we welcome to the House of Representatives Dr. James 
D. Strauss.
