  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would like to 
congratulate my good friend Mr. Frank Lucas on becoming the Chancellor

present level of success where it employs over 160 people in Charleston

services for clients throughout the Southeast. During its history LS3P 
Associates Ltd. has designed over $7 billion worth of construction 
projects.
  LS3P was the recipient of the Outstanding Firm Award and for 
Distinction in Design by the Tau Sigma Delta Architectural Fraternity 
of Clemson University. In 1990 LS3P received the South Carolina Arts 
Commission's Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Award for community service in 
the arts. In 1995 the firm was honored with the 25 Year Distinguished 
Service Award for firms by the American Institute of Architects South 
Carolina. Mr. Lucas has also received Clemson University's 
Distinguished Alumni Award in 1992 and the American Institute of 
Architects South Carolina's highest honor, the Medal of Distinction, in 
1997. He was recognized as Architect of the Year by the Charleston 
Contractors' Association. He is a past president of the Hibernian 
Society and is involved with numerous civic, professional, and business 
organizations.
  Mr. Lucas and his wife, Edith, both native Charlestonians, have three 
daughters and five grandchildren. LS3P and Frank Lucas proudly and 
strongly believe in giving back to the community, working for the 
betterment of the architecture profession, and serving his fellow man.
  Frank Lucas has been a great success story, but he has not let that 
success change him. Frank has continued to give back to the community 
that he grew up in and I am very proud to congratulate him on achieving 
such a prestigious achievement as becoming the Chancellor of Fellows of 
the American Institute of Architects.
