                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 8, 2006

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Dr. George C. Smith, Sr., of Lineville, Alabama. Dr. Smith is a highly 
accomplished medical doctor and public servant, and will soon be 
retiring from Clay County Medical Clinics.
  In 1965, Dr. Smith began his career as a medical doctor. Dr. Smith 
was actively involved in the Medical Association of Alabama, the 
American and Alabama Academies of Family Physicians, as well as other 
state medical committees. Dr. Smith also served on the city of 
Lineville City Council from 1973 to 1984, as well as president of both 
the Alabama Cattlemen's Association from 1985 to 1986 and the 
Southeastern Livestock Exposition from 1994 to 1996.
  Dr. Smith has spent his career helping others, both in the field of 
medicine and as a public servant in Clay County. His hard work and 
dedication in public healthcare will certainly be missed. I 
congratulate Dr. Smith for his many accomplishments over the years, and 
wish him all the best in his retirement.
