                       Tuesday, February 6, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to 
a very special occasion today for a constituent of mine--Mrs. Lucille 
Cochran's 100th birthday. Mrs. Cochran will gather with her friends and 
family to mark the occasion on February 9, 2007.
  Lucille ``Mama Cill'' Cochran was born in Lee County, Alabama, where 
she resides today with her loving family and church community. ``Mama 
Cill'' credits long life to her faith and trust in God. This mother of 
9, grandmother of 35, and great grandmother of 77, enjoys entertaining 
her family in her kitchen where she serves her Alabama nugget baked 
sweet potatoes and coffee.
  Mrs. Cochran's vibrant personality and active life make her an 
important part of her community. In her own special way, she serves as 
a shining example for us all. On this special occasion, I salute this 
remarkable woman for her long life, and her dedication to family.
