                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2000

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a distinguished 
gentleman from Georgia's 8th District who is visiting Washington this 
week as one of six outstanding National Guard officers in the country, 
Dr. Spencer Price.
  Dr. Price has been awarded the prestigious General Douglas MacArthur 
Leadership Award for his dedication to both the medical and military 
community. Dr. Price is a respected internal medicine specialist at The 
Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon and is also a member of the 
Georgia Army National Guard. In addition, Dr. Price serves as a surgeon 
for the Georgia Guard's 121st Infantry Battalion.
  Dr. Price has made a career of serving people and saving lives, and 
we all know this world needs more people who are willing to put 
selfishness aside and dedicate themselves to serving their community 
and their country. As a Member of Congress from Georgia and a member of 
the House Armed Services Committee, I have been fortunate to know Dr. 
Price and have had several opportunities to speak with him about issues 
facing both the Georgia Guard and America's military. His insight is 
always respected.
  Mr. Speaker, Georgia is rich in military heritage and we have always 
been home to incredible leaders and public servants. Dr. Spencer Price 
is one of those people. He is an outstanding American, and it is an 
honor to know him.
