I rise today to welcome Reverend Dr. John White, the President of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, who we had the honor of having with us to say the prayer to begin this session. Dr. White is a constituent of mine, and certainly is noted for the marvelous work he has done at Geneva College. Geneva College was founded by the Reform Presbyterian Church of North America. It does a wonderful job in enriching the community in which it is located. It has sent many wonderful students out to do good work in this Nation. Dr. White has been a part of that College for the last 28 years, the last 8 years of which he has been the President, and it has been my honor to work with him. We are pleased to have someone of his stature here to assist Reverend Ford in beginning this session, and I would commend him and thank him for being here with us. I also would commend Geneva College for 4 out of the last 5 years they have been in the national championships with their football team, and they have done a marvelous job of exhibiting their athletic prowess as well as their intellect and their academic prowess. So I thank Dr. White for being with us today.

I always find it very interesting, the names of the bills that come before us during this Congress. I would venture, if we did not have the kind of protections we have in speech on the floor of the House, that we would be able to sue our…
