Do you mean that the actual name you want to print is the element name?
I suspect you have something more like <FIRST_NAME>Colleen</FIRST_NAME>.

So close! Any attribute (I think) on a non-XSL element is an attribute
value template which means you can use curly brackets to get things
evaluated. Try

<input type="text" size="18" value="{FIRST_NAME}"/>

The other option is to use <xsl:attribute> like this

<input type="text" size="18">
  <xsl:attribute name="value">
    <xsl:value-of select="FIRST_NAME" />
  </xsl:attribute>
</input>

If you actually meant to print the name of the element contained in
GEN_INFO, you'd have to do something like this

<input ... value="{*[1]/name()}" />
