                      Wednesday, September 6, 2000

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Clyde 
Foster, a resident of my district and the former Mayor of Triana, 
Alabama. The City of Triana has designated today as ``Clyde Foster 
Day'' and I want to join the City in recognizing their unsung hero.
  Mr. Foster has dedicated many years of outstanding public service to 
his community and to the entire state of Alabama. He has accumulated 
over fifty years of community service including the twenty he spent as 
Mayor of the lovely city of Triana. In the position of Mayor, Mr. 
Foster held the city together improving the lives of its citizens and 
making Triana a better place to work and raise a family.
  I wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Foster for his exemplary 
role as a leader in our community. I join the Governor of Alabama and 
the State Senate in commending Mr. Foster for his selfless lifetime 
commitment to improving his city. As his friends, neighbors and family 
join today to honor him, I share their pride in and gratitude for the 
life and accomplishments of their beloved Mr. Foster. On behalf of the 
United States Congress, I thank him for a job well done.
