                     HONORING DR. JONATHAN HOLLOWAY

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the late Dr. 
Jonathan Holloway on becoming the first African American president of 
Rutgers University. Rutgers is getting a leader with exceptional 
credentials.
  Currently, Dr. Holloway is the provost and chief academic officer at 
Northwestern University. He oversees the school's academic priorities, 
annual budget, and faculty appointments.
  Previously, Dr. Holloway served as the dean of Yale College, the 
undergraduate school of Yale University. Before that, he was the Edmund 
S. Morgan Professor of African American Studies, History, and American 
Studies at Yale University.
  Dr. Holloway was appointed to the post on January 21, after a search 
that included more than 200 candidates. He will start the new position 
on July 1.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Dr. Holloway. He will be a 
welcome addition to an outstanding university.
