                 CONGRATULATING IRVIN ``CHOPPY'' SMITH

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 30, 2007

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to applaud the devoted 
service of Irvin ``Choppy'' Smith to the people of Acadia Parish. 
Choppy recently retired following 22 years of dedicated work as the 
Chief Deputy in the Acadia Parish Tax Assessor's Office.
  During his distinguished service to Acadia Parish, Choppy was known 
as a devoted public servant who always provided a warm and welcoming 
environment for the many parish residents that sought the service of 
the Tax Assessor's Office. Choppy's vast knowledge of Acadia Parish was 
invaluable as he assisted countless taxpayers.
  Madam Speaker, it is people like Choppy Smith that continue to 
inspire all of us, and I ask my colleagues to join me and the people of 
Acadia Parish in congratulating Choppy for his invaluable 
accomplishments for the State of Louisiana.
