                      HONORING CHARLES C. WILLIAMS

                                 ______


                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 26, 1996

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise before my 
colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to recognize Mr. 
Charles C. Williams. Mr. Williams is retiring after many years of 
dedicated public service. A retirement dinner in his honor is to be 
held on March 29, 1996 in Flushing, MI.
  Throughout his 40-year career, Mr. Williams worked diligently to 
improve the lives of those who were less fortunate, and who were most 
in need. Mr. Williams proved to be a tireless advocate for children and 
played a vital role in helping to develop and advance programs 
dedicated to the preservation of one of the most important resources, 
the family. His work on behalf of his community has earned him the 
respect of not only his colleagues, but also the countless people whose 
lives were touched by him.
  Mr. Speaker, Charles C. Williams has worked selflessly to make his 
community a better place in which to live. I know that his retirement 
dinner is not meant to celebrate his departure from the Department of 
Social Services, rather, the dinner is meant to show him the deep and 
abiding love and respect his colleagues, his family, his friends, and 
his community have for him. I ask you and my fellow Members of the 
104th Congress to join me in paying tribute to such a dedicated public 
servant, Mr. Charles C. Williams.
