                      Thursday, December 13, 2007

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I am pleased today to honor the 
accomplishments of Boston Town Councilman Brien Hopkins.
  Throughout Brien's service on the Town Board, he exemplified the term 
``public servant.'' Brien's commitment to Boston was manifest, and his 
desire to see his town reach the very highest level possible served his 
constituents admirably.
  Our community owes Brien a debt of gratitude for his tireless 
dedication to make Boston a better place to live, work and raise a 
family. While his work on the town board will conclude on January 1 of 
next year, the legacy he leaves behind will endure for a long time to 
come.
  Madam Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity to honor 
Brien's service, and please join me in wishing Brien and his family the 
very best in the months and years to come.

                          ____________________
