                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 6, 2007

  Mr. RANGEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Black 
History Month and to spotlight the success of William Tell, Chairman 
and CEO of 1 Source Consulting Inc. a strategic consulting firm, which 
provides business strategy and IT solutions. Tell recently made history 
by acquiring a seven-year contract from the Department of Energy. Tell, 
whose larger clients include Homeland Security Department, Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, Justice Department and the 
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Information 
Technology, partnered with RS Information Systems Inc to secure the 
$1.4 billion government contract, the largest contract awarded to a 
small business.
  Beyond a commitment to excellence in the business world Tell 
maintains a commitment to the community to enriching the lives of 
others, particularly African Americans. In September 2006, 1 Source 
Consulting Inc. partnered with San Diego Charger Shawne Merriman, to 
donate $10,000 to the Frederick Douglass High School Football Program. 
The company has also assisted in Hurricane Katrina relief efforts and 
partnered with Goodwill.
  William Tell is a living testament to the ingenuity and acumen of 
black business leaders everywhere. His accomplishments should be 
celebrated in the spirit of remembering the rich legacy of African 
American leaders everywhere.
