  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following.
  Whereas, we are saddened by the untimely death of Mayor Ray Jenkins 
because our lives have been touched by the life of this one man . . . 
who gave of himself in order for others to stand; and
  Whereas, Mayor Ray Jenkins' work is present in Doraville, Georgia, 
for all to see, being one of Doraville's favorite sons; and
  Whereas, this highly effective public servant was elected as Mayor of 
the city of Doraville in 2003 and again in 2007; and
  Whereas, he gave of himself, his time, his talent and his life as he 
served our nation in the U.S. Navy, with two tours during the Korean 
Conflict and served in the U.S. Postal Service until his retirement in 
1986; and
  Whereas, Mayor Jenkins was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a 
friend and a man of great integrity who remained true to the uplifting 
of our community; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow a special recognition on Mayor Ray 
Jenkins for his leadership, friendship and service to all of the 
citizens of Georgia and throughout the Nation as a citizen of great 
worth and so noted distinction;
  Now Therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby attest to 
the 112th Congress of the United States that Mayor Ray Jenkins of 
Doraville, DeKalb County, Georgia is deemed worthy and deserving of 
this ``Congressional Recognition'' by declaring Mayor Ray Jenkins, U.S. 
Citizen of Distinction in the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, This 7th day of February, 2011.
