  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
longtime Mississippi resident, dedicated health care professional and a 
remarkable woman, Mrs. Linda Williams. Mrs. Williams has been a nurse 
practitioner in my district since 1991. She is a very valued member of 
the Lee County, Mississippi, community and serves on several of the 
local area boards. She is married to Frederick Williams and to that 
union they have two children, James and Samantha.
  She is a graduate of the Holmes Community College School of Nursing 
in Goodman, Mississippi. After graduating, she served as a registered 
nurse at the University of Mississippi Medical Center hospital 
assisting on the general medical and surgical floors. While there, she 
aided patients through high risk pregnancies and post partum pregnancy 
recoveries as well as normal labor and delivery birth. In 1991, Mrs. 
Williams began specializing in endocrinology and infertility nursing 
with Women's Health Care and Reproductive services. Currently, she is a 
Physician Assistant specialist in reproductive medicine and surgery.
  Mrs. Williams is a very active member of the Lee County, Mississippi, 
community. She serves on the Lee County Alliance of Legal professionals 
and the Lee County Medical Society Alliance. Mrs. Williams has also 
been very active in trying to minimize adolescent driving while under 
the influence of drugs and alcohol.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. Linda 
Williams for her commitment to the healthcare services of women and 
children as well as advocacy against impaired teenage driving.
