  WELCOMING REVEREND DR. JOHN H. WHITE, PRESIDENT OF GENEVA COLLEGE, 
                       BEAVER FALLS, PENNSYLVANIA

  (Mr. KLINK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KLINK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome Reverend Dr. John 
White, the President of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, 
who we had the honor of having with us to say the prayer to begin this 
session. Dr. White is a constituent of mine, and certainly is noted for 
the marvelous work he has done at Geneva College.
  Geneva College was founded by the Reform Presbyterian Church of North 
America. It does a wonderful job in enriching the community in which it 
is located. It has sent many wonderful students out to do good work in 
this Nation.
  Dr. White has been a part of that College for the last 28 years, the 
last 8 years of which he has been the President, and it has been my 
honor to work with him.
  We are pleased to have someone of his stature here to assist Reverend 
Ford in beginning this session, and I would commend him and thank him 
for being here with us.
  I also would commend Geneva College for 4 out of the last 5 years 
they have been in the national championships with their football team, 
and

they have done a marvelous job of exhibiting their athletic prowess as 
well as their intellect and their academic prowess. So I thank Dr. 
White for being with us today.
