                       Tuesday, February 25, 2003

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
Frank Meeks, who has recently been named the Chamber Citizen of the 
Year by the Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce.
  Mr. Meeks earned a degree in political science and English from the 
University of Southern Mississippi, with the goal of attending law 
school. In order to help defray the cost of continuing his education, 
he became a delivery boy for Domino's Pizza in 1979. Within a short 
amount of time, Mr. Meeks became manager of the store, and decided to 
stay with Domino's.
  In December 1980, Mr. Meeks took 2 years off from Domino's Pizza and 
served as a congressional aide for Senator Trent Lott, then a Member of 
the House of Representatives. Mr. Meeks continued to earn extra money 
by assisting Domino's Pizza in opening up new stores in the Virginia 
area. After 2 years with Mr. Lott, Mr. Meeks decided to return to 
Domino's and was awarded the franchise for Northern Virginia and 
Washington, DC. Mr. Meeks opened his first store in July 1983 in 
Alexandria, Virginia. Today, Frank Meeks oversees the operation of 
fifty-nine Domino's Pizza stores in Washington, DC, Maryland, and 
Northern Virginia. Mr. Meek's franchise, Domino's Pizza Team 
Washington, continues to be one of the top franchises in Domino's 
Pizza, Inc.
  Under Mr. Meek's leadership, Team Washington has been active in 
supporting area schools. Team Washington has generously contributed to 
the post prom and after graduation parties in Fairfax County, Virginia, 
and Montgomery County, Maryland. In addition, Team Washington has also 
contributed to the Washington's Children's National Medical Center, 
Food and Friends, Mount Vernon High School, and numerous other 
organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, it gives me great pleasure to extend my 
warmest congratulations to Mr. Frank Meeks. I call upon my colleagues 
to join me in honoring him for all of his success and dedication to his 
work and the community.
