on behalf of Senator DeWine and myself, I rise today to recognize this morning's honored guest chaplain, Dr. Paul Dixon, who serves as the president of Cedarville University, which is located in Greene County, Ohio, in my district, and in Cedarville, which is also the home of Senator DeWine. Dr. Dixon has served in this capacity for 24 years, which is about twice as long as I have been a Member of Congress. Prior to assuming the role as president, Dr. Dixon ministered as an evangelist. He continues his ministry today, traveling to hundreds of churches, youth camps, and adult fellowships throughout the year. Dr. Dixon is also a popular speaker for professional sports chapel programs, including those of the Cincinnati Reds, the Bengals, the former Houston Oilers, and many National League ball teams. Dr. Dixon's tenure at Cedarville has been marked by many accomplishments, not the least of which is the institution's physical growth. Under Dr. Dixon's exceptional leadership, enrollment has increased 140 percent, and Cedarville has enjoyed record enrollments for 23 of the 24 years he has been president. In addition, the campus has grown from less than 100 acres to more than 400 acres. He has built probably $100 million worth of new buildings on this wonderful campus. He is a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, and holds a doctorate in education from the University of Cincinnati.
