                         TRIBUTE TO OLIN BROOKS

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, I rise to pay tribute to Mr. Olin Brooks, 
who is retiring this month from the Bankruptcy Administrator's Office. 
He is the estate analyst in the Anniston Bankruptcy Administrator's 
Office for the Eastern Division of the Northern District of Alabama.
  Born in 1933, Olin attended Woodlawn High School in Birmingham. After 
high school, he served in the U.S. Air Force for 2 years. He later 
attended Auburn University, receiving his bachelor of science degree in 
1959 and his law degree from the Birmingham School of Law in 1970.
  From 1959 until 1962, he worked for the State of Alabama Department 
of Revenue as a revenue representative. He worked for the Internal 
Revenue Service from 1962 through 1987, eventually moving into a 
management and advisory position in the Bankruptcy Division of the IRS 
Special Procedures Office.
  I am pleased to commend and congratulate Olin Brooks for his many 
years of service to his State and Nation. I wish him all the best for a 
long and happy retirement.
