  IN HONOR OF THE EXHIBITION: LINUS PAULING AND THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

  (Mr. BROWN of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROWN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to comment on the 
exhibition, Linus Pauling and the 20th Century, which will open in San 
Francisco on September 20th.
  This national touring exhibition is dedicated to the late Dr. Linus 
Pauling for his extraordinary contributions to science and humanity. In 
1954, Dr. Pauling received the Nobel prize in chemistry. He also won 
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962.
  The exhibition is designed to inspire audiences with the life of one 
of the greatest scientists and humanitarians of this century and to 
teach our children about the important role scientists can play in the 
progress of human culture and world peace.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the role of Dr. Daigd Ikeda, 
President of Soka Gakkai International, for his initiative in 
organizing this special exhibit. Dr. Ikeda, an international peace 
activist, developed a deep friendship with Dr. Pauling during the final 
years of his life, and their dialogue was published in a 1992 book 
entitled, ``A Lifelong Quest for Peace.''
  Mr. Speaker, I take great pride in supporting this exhibition to 
promote the legacy of Dr. Pauling in the U.S. and around the world. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the opening of the Exhibition: 
Linus Pauling and the Twentieth Century.
