                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 30, 2001

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who has 
served Madison County for many years, Probate Judge Frank Riddick. I 
would like to recognize the outstanding contributions of Judge Riddick 
to our community and to the Twenty-Third Judicial Circuit of Alabama.
  Judge Riddick has made the Huntsville-Madison County Courthouse a 
better place with his service to the families and the mentally ill 
across the county. He has preserved important legal records for our 
county. His commitment to justice and efficiency is unparalleled.
  For his hard work, vision and dedication to the people of Madison 
County, I feel this is an apt honor. Over his long career both in the 
courthouse and in the Alabama legislature, he has become a role model 
for his work ethic. Now as he retires, I wish to thank Judge Riddick 
for his extraordinary service to his community and this nation.
  On behalf of the U.S. Congress, I pay tribute to Judge Riddick and 
thank him for a job well done. I join his family, friends and 
colleagues in congratulating him on his retirement. I wish him a well-
deserved rest.
