                        HONORING FRANCES COLEMAN

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize retiring 
Mississippi State University Dean of Libraries, Frances Coleman, for 
her outstanding contributions to Mississippi's higher education and to 
the Starkville community. Over the course of her career, Dean Coleman 
championed unprecedented expansions of facilities, technologies, and 
programming throughout the MSU library system. She was instrumental in 
the transfer of the Ulysses S. Grant collection to Mississippi State's 
Mitchell Memorial Library, which established the university as one of 
only six campuses to hold a Presidential library.
  Dean Coleman has received numerous recognitions for her service to 
our State, including the G.V. ``Sonny'' Montgomery Excellence in 
Leadership Award, and the lifetime achievement honor bestowed by the 
Mississippi legislature.
  In addition to her professional achievements, she is also active in 
her community through the Rotary Club, the Starkville Chamber of 
Commerce, and the Aldersgate United Methodist Church.
  Please join me in recognizing Dean Frances Coleman for her 
significant contributions to the great State of Mississippi.
