citizens that work to make our Region a worthy instrument for good; and

Butts, Small Business Administration, Gwendolyn Keyes-Fleming, 
Environmental Protection Agency, Edward Jennings, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, Paulette Norvel Lewis, U.S. Department of Labor 
and Carlis V. Williams, Department of Health and Human Services, each 
individual being charged to bring community service, honor and 
excellence in government; and
  Whereas, the Southeastern Regional Directors are promoting and 
providing the concept of One Community-One Goal by working with and for 
individuals in all walks of life to make our Region a place where the 
needs of the people are met; and
  Whereas, these directors give of themselves tirelessly and 
unconditionally to serve our community and our nation by providing 
leadership and service; and
  Whereas, the lives of many in our district are touched by the 
leadership and service given by these directors; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Cassius Butts, Gwendolyn 
Keyes-Fleming, Edward Jennings, Paulette Norvel Lewis and Carlis V.
