                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 28, 2000

  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, Jack Sharp has now completed 25 years of 
service as a member of the Knoxville, Tennessee City Council.
  Jack is a close friend of mine and is one of the finest men I know.
  He has represented the entire City fairly and honorably, but he has 
been especially effective for his home area.
  He holds one of three at-large seats on the Council and is very 
popular throughout the City.
  He has served as Vice-Mayor and has frequently filled in for the 
Mayor at public functions of all types.
  Jack has been a very forceful advocate for the fire fighters, police, 
and other City employees.
  With his wife Doris almost always at his side, they have been 
outstanding goodwill ambassadors for Knoxville and a great team in 
thousands of ways for the City and its residents.
  This Country would be a much better place if we had more men like 
City Councilman Jack Sharp. I congratulate him on his 25 years of 
community service and am thankful that term limits did not deprive us 
of his knowledge and experience many years ago.
  I want to say thank you to Councilman Sharp and bring to the 
attention of my colleagues and other readers of the Record the service 
of a great Tennessean and great American, my friend, Jack Sharp.
