                        TRIBUTE TO BILL OVERMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 8, 2007

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Bill Overman, City 
Clerk of Rhodes, Iowa, for his distinguished public service and 
dedication to the Rhodes community on the occasion of his retirement 
from that position.
  For the past 28 years, Bill has served as city clerk. A life-long 
resident of Rhodes, Bill previously served as mayor from 1970 until 
1979 before taking over the clerk position. He also retired from Lennox 
in Marshalltown in 2005 as a lean materials analyst after working for 
37 years. As city clerk, Bill has been the chief administrator of 
services with a strong understanding of the needs and desires of the 
community.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress will join me 
to commend Bill Overman for his leadership and service to Rhodes, Iowa. 
I consider it an honor to serve Bill in Congress and I wish him the 
best in the future.
