                       HONORING DR. DAVID BUSHMAN

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, September 30, 2005, is a significant day in 
American higher education. This day marks Dr. David W. Bushman's 
inauguration as the 13th president of Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, 
North Carolina.
  Lees-McRae College is an institution of which the entire Nation can 
be proud. For 105 years, it has prepared young men and women to take 
their places as productive citizens. Committed to leadership and 
service, Lees-McRae is an integral part of the larger community, 
putting into practice its historic motto, ``In the mountains, of the 
mountains, for the mountains.''
  David W. Bushman is an outstanding scholar, educator and 
administrator. Under his leadership, Lees-McRae College reaffirms its 
commitment to academic excellence in the liberal arts tradition and to 
the moral and civic education of its students.
  As David Bushman assumes the presidency of Lees-McRae College, I 
extend sincere congratulations to him and to the college. As President 
Bushman and Lees-McRae College begin this new chapter in their history, 
they do so with my best wishes for continued success.
