  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure 
that I rise to honor Mr. Adam Millikin, Jr. on the occasion of his 
100th birthday.
  Mr. Millikin was born on May, 12, 1909 in East Carroll Parish, and is 
currently a proud resident of Lake Providence, La. In addition, Mr. 
Millikin and his late beloved wife were the proud parents of 10 
children.
  Truly an integral part of Louisiana history, Mr. Millikin's 
fascination with politics has deep roots. He was just one of four males 
who first obtained the right to vote in East Carroll Parish.
  A retired farmer, Mr. Millikin serves today as a deacon of the Rose 
Hill Baptist Church. He has served in this capacity for 58 years.
  In addition, his hobbies include watching his favorite baseball team, 
Los Angeles Dodgers, and following the news.
  Mr. Millikin is a friend to many, and is deemed a gracious and 
hardworking person to all who have had the privilege of making his 
acquaintance.
  Friends and family of Mr. Milliken will gather on May 24, 2009 to 
celebrate this momentous birthday.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Mr. Adam Millikin, Jr. a 
very happy 100th birthday.
