   WILLIAM C. GREEN, JR., PUBLISHER OF THE HUNTSVILLE TIMES AND THE 
                            HUNTSVILLE NEWS

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, I was deeply saddened by the death of Bill 
Green today. I had the opportunity to get to know him well as a 
journalist and friend over the years, and we always had a very good 
relationship.
  Bill's role in the rapid growth of the Huntsville Times over the last 
9 years was instrumental, as he led the paper through significant 
production upgrades and saw its circulation increase dramatically. Bill 
also played an important role in his community as a leader of many 
civic and cultural organizations in the Huntsville area. At the State 
level, the World War II veteran was a member of the Board of Directors 
of the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama; a board member of 
Leadership Alabama; a member of the TVA Community Relations Council; 
and member of the Board of Directors of the North Alabama Science 
Center.
  Bill Green was one of those people who became such a fixture within 
his profession and community that we thought he would be around 
forever. His total dedication to the field of journalism together with 
his personal commitment to serving the Huntsville area and State, made 
him one of those rare individuals who everyone respected and admired. 
His death leaves a void for all those fortunate enough to have known 
and worked with him over the years that will be hard, if not 
impossible, to fill.
  I extend my sincerest condolences to Bill's wife, Janie, and their 
entire family in the wake of their tremendous loss.
