                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 2005

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Richard 
``Nub'' Brown of Winnsboro, Texas, for his effort to fight crime and 
support law enforcement through the Enough Is Enough Drug Task Force.
  On April 18, 2005, in response to a drug-related tragedy in 
Winnsboro, Nub Brown gathered over 340 members of the community in the 
high school auditorium and cried, ``Enough is enough!'' Several 
committees were formed that evening to work with city officials and law 
enforcement officers to rid Winnsboro of drugs. Today this program is 
helping educate and inform the community of Winnsboro about drug 
awareness and to help achieve a safe and drug-free environment.
  Nub Brown is an active member of his community, serving as the Youth 
and Education Minister of Pine Street Baptist Church since 1997. He is 
also an active member of his community, speaking on drug and alcohol 
awareness in many schools, civic clubs, youth groups and churches, as 
well as serving the prison ministry at the Clyde M. Johnston Unit in 
Winnsboro.
  As the father of two children, I appreciate the leadership of Nub 
Brown and his commitment to rid his community of drugs. Today, I would 
like to thank him for his public service and for the outstanding 
contributions he has made to make his community and his country a 
better place.
