                   TRIBUTE TO CHARLOTTE FULLER CLONTS

  (Mr. BARR of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, one of the most wonderful things 
about our community is that so many of its citizens give to the 
community despite their own challenges. Charlotte Fuller Clonts is one 
of those special citizens. Though she faces tough personal battles, 
Charlotte constantly and selflessly gives of herself to her community.
  Charlotte resides in the Ridge Road community with her loving husband 
of 45 years and is well-known throughout Paulding County for her 
tireless efforts for the Veterans Memorial.
  Since July 1995, Charlotte has served as publicity chairwoman for the 
memorial fund. Working bedridden much of the time, gathering 
information and writing during countless sleepless nights, Charlotte 
has helped to raise over $50,000 to construct the memorial in record 
time.
  She was recognized for her hard work just a few years ago when she 
was named ``Citizen of the Year.'' Charlotte has been involved in many 
other organizations as well, including: the Paulding County Chamber of 
Commerce, the Paulding County Planning Commission, the Paulding County 
Division March of Dimes, and many others. On behalf of Paulding County 
and the entire seventh district, I thank Charlotte for her loyalty to 
our community and to our country, and commend her to us all as an 
outstanding community citizen.
