                     RECOGNIZING DR. DONALD JEANES

  (Mr. ROE of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a great 
leader, minister, and educator, Dr. Donald Jeanes, who is retiring this 
year as president of Milligan College in my hometown of Johnson City, 
Tennessee.
  President Jeanes is a 1968 magna cum laude graduate of Milligan 
College and has lived in Johnson City most of his life, first as a 
minister, and then as part of Milligan College. President Jeanes was 
inaugurated as the 14th president of Milligan College in October of 
1997. Under Dr. Jeanes' leadership, Milligan College has consistently 
been named one of America's Best Colleges, and has experienced 
phenomenal growth both in terms of the physical campus as well as the 
courses offered.
  I would like to personally thank and acknowledge Dr. Jeanes for his 
commitment to faith, education, and community development. I wish he 
and his wife, Clarinda, the very best as he prepares for his retirement 
from the presidency of Milligan College. I would like to say to my 
friend, a job well done.
