                       Thursday, December 6, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
a distinguished public servant of Alabama's Third Congressional 
District and our Nation, Mr. Lamar Denkins.

[[Page E2517]]

  Mr. Denkins has worked for the people of Alabama in various 
capacities for most of his life. Over his career, he has served in the 
United States Army Reserves; has been the Minister of First Baptist 
Church of Williams in Jacksonville, Alabama; has worked as a therapist 
for the Calhoun-Cleburne County Mental Health Board; and worked as a 
Human Resource Specialist for the Westinghouse Anniston Chemical-
Demilitarization Project.
  Prior to joining my office in 2003, Mr. Denkins also served as an 
Executive Assistant for former Third District Congressman Glen Browder. 
From 2003 to 2007, he has served as Field Representative, Deputy 
District Director, and District Director and has been a dedicated and 
non-partisan public servant.
  Lamar has done an incredible job for the people of the Third District 
and he will certainly be missed here in this office, and across East 
Alabama.
  Lamar, on behalf of the citizens of Alabama's Third Congressional 
District, thank you for your service to our State. We wish you all the 
best in your retirement.
