             RECOGNIZING THE WORK OF DR. LANDRUM R. BOLLING

 Mr. LUGAR. Madam President, I rise today to share with my 
colleagues a few highlights from the remarkable lifetime of leadership 
and humanitarianism displayed by Dr. Landrum Bolling, former president 
of Earlham College.
  From 1958 to 1973, Dr. Bolling led both the students and the faculty 
of Earlham College in numerous interdisciplinary programs grounded in 
peace, justice, equality, simplicity, and consensus decisionmaking. His 
vast personal experience with foreign cultures and religions 
facilitates his teaching of international studies and humanitarianism.
  Currently, at the age of 90, Dr. Bolling serves as director-at-large 
of Mercy Corps, a not-for-profit organization that exists to alleviate 
suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, 
productive, and just communities. Through his active involvement with 
Mercy Corps, he has once again joined forces with Earlham College to 
form the Landrum Bolling Fellowships in International Service program. 
The Landrum Bolling Fellowships provide qualified Earlham graduates 
with the opportunity to participate, on many levels, with Mercy Corps' 
tremendous humanitarian relief and development programs. It is 
certainly an opportunity for the students to apply, internationally, 
the concepts they have previously studied at Earlham College.
  Dr. Bolling has dedicated his life to both academia and public 
service, and I am pleased to have this opportunity to congratulate him 
on his many worthwhile accomplishments.
