                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 7, 2003

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to one of 
Nashville, Tennessee's most beloved citizens. Through many years of 
public service, he is building a legacy of selfless devotion to his 
state, his home city and his state senate district.
  Senator Douglas Henry is being honored this weekend by the Friends of 
Radnor Lake for his three decades of commitment to conservation issues. 
In 1973, Senator Henry worked tirelessly to be certain that Radnor Lake 
was named Tennessee's first state natural area. He has continued to 
work to protect the lake and the funding necessary to support the 
protection of the natural area.
  Senator Douglas Henry could be honored on this floor for any number 
of reasons. He has chaired the Finance committee of the Tennessee 
senate for many years, he is a staunch supporter for the rights of 
women and children and has a deep interest in public policy affecting 
them. He has served as chairman of the Southern Legislative conference 
and the Council of World Regions, the Law and Justice Institute in 
Washington, DC. However, it is my pleasure to stand today and honor 
him, not only for these accomplishments but for the commitment to 
preservation and conservation that he has to his district and our 
state.
