                          CASSIUS S. WILLIAMS

  (Mr. BUTTERFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Today, I rise to congratulate Cassius S. Williams, a 
dear friend, who is the recipient of North Carolina State University's 
Watauga Medal Award.
  Each year, NC State honors alumni for outstanding contributions to 
the university by bestowing on them the Watauga Medal Award.
  Recipients of this historic award understand the enormous value of 
education, and their commitment to that idea has generated immeasurable 
prosperity for communities across America.
  Watauga Medal Award recipients are candles in the dark, men and women 
of great purpose who have injected their talents into the lifeblood of 
North Carolina State University.
  Mr. Speaker, this week Cassius S. Williams of Greenville, North 
Carolina, joined the ranks of great servants as its newest honoree. 
Without a doubt, his work will continue to foster a better education 
for our children that will create a brighter future for North Carolina.
  The House of Representatives appreciates Cassius Williams.
