  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Mr. Jack Gentry, the winner of the Benjamin Franklin 
Community Newspaper and Postal Partnership Award of Excellence.
  Nominated for this award because of his commitment to provide top-
notch customer service, it is an honor to highlight the Florida 
postmaster's excellence on the floor today.
  It is encouraging to learn of the many lengths Mr. Gentry would reach 
to ensure reliable delivery of the community's newspapers.
  Rather than going through the everyday motions of his postal route, 
Jack helped improve the delivery system--even making it more efficient.
  I am sure the members of the community who benefit from Mr. Gentry's 
dedication to quality service are as thrilled as I am he will be 
recognized for his great work.
  Mr. Gentry will receive this award today at the Library of Congress. 
I commend him for his work ethic and commitment to community 
newspapers.
