                    HONORING ALAMO MAYOR TOMMY GREEN

                                 ______

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 23, 2003

  Mr. TANNER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor an outstanding public 
servant, Tommy Green, who has dedicated himself to the people of 
Tennessee through his diligent services to the community of Alamo in 
Crockett County.
  Tommy's hard work helped earn him the Mayor of the Year award this 
year from the Tennessee Municipal League.
  Throughout his life, Tommy has found a home in public service. He 
began his honorable career by volunteering for the Alamo Volunteer Fire 
Department, then served as Alamo's first building inspector. Tommy 
continued to show his dedication for our community by serving as city 
alderman for 11 years.
  As a U.S. mail carrier, Tommy works one of the largest and most time-
consuming routes in Alamo. Despite these long hours, Tommy has served 
as Alamo's mayor for the past 17 years.
  Since 1986, Tommy has been instrumental in helping Alamo receive 
seven federal grants to improve the development of the community. These 
grants allowed for construction of a new water treatment plant, two new 
wells and a 200,000-gallon water storage tank.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring a distinguished public 
servant, an outstanding citizen and my friend, Mr. Tommy Green.
