  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure 
that I rise to honor Mr. Clarence E. Faulk, Jr., on the occasion of his 
100th birthday.
  Mr. Faulk was born on January 9, 1909 in West Monroe, LA to Clarence 
E. Faulk, Sr. and Josephine McClendon Faulk.
  He married Louise Benson Page on July 8, 1931 and from this union 
three children were born. In addition, Mr. Faulk is the proud and 
loving grandfather of 10 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Faulk was the publisher of the Ruston Daily Leader from 1931 to 
1962, the owner of radio station KRUS from 1947 to 1968, and the owner 
of Westside Self Storage from 1980 to present.
  Moreover, Mr. Faulk and his late beloved wife owned 10 rental houses, 
one 16-unit apartment house, and eight commercial buildings in Ruston, 
LA.
  Mr. Faulk is a friend to many, and is deemed a gracious and 
hardworking person to all who have had the privilege of making his 
acquaintance.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. Clarence Faulk 
on this truly significant birthday.
