    The board of directors for the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation has 
reelected Davis Perkins "unanimously and without reservation" to a second 
term as the company's president and publisher.  If confirmed by the 
upcoming General Assembly in Fort Worth, Davis' term would extend until the 
2002 General Assembly. 
    In recommending Perkins' confirmation to the Assembly, the board of 
directors stated: "Perkins has provided extraordinary leadership. As a 
result of this astute management, PPC is debt-free and has the financial 
resources necessary to fund future growth. Whereas Presbyterian Publishing 
was losing approximately $1 million per year when he became president and 
publisher, PPC has realized positive revenues over expenses in each of the 
subsequent five years."
