                             BERRY COLLEGE

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Berry College 
in Rome, Georgia, which this year was named as one of the top two 
colleges in the South by the prestigious U.S. News and World Report 
rankings.
  For those of us who know Berry College, this honor comes as no 
surprise. This past spring I had the honor of addressing Berry College 
at the 2006 graduation ceremony. I was incredibly impressed by the 
student body. Berry is helping mold engaged, eager, driven students 
into the kind of leaders our communities are fortunate to have.
  Berry College's founder and namesake, Martha Berry, once noted that 
education combines the head, the heart, and the hands. I know Berry 
students are receiving a superior education that combines high-quality 
academic learning with moral and spiritual growth and experience and 
worthwhile service to others. This makes Berry not only one of the top 
colleges in the South but in the Nation as well.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating Berry's 
president, Stephen Briggs, and the students, faculty, staff, and alumni 
that have made Berry College into a premier educational institution.
