                 HONORING JACK DYSON OF THE RENDEZVOUS

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Memphis, Tennessee, has an iconic restaurant known 
worldwide, the Rendezvous. And it's iconic because it's got great ribs, 
many artifacts about the mid-South, but also a great wait staff that 
makes everybody feel at home. One of those iconic waiters, Jack Dyson, 
will be retiring after 45 years.
  Jack is 78 years old, and he will retire this week after serving 
millions of customers from Presidents and First Ladies to the Rolling 
Stones, to Bill Cosby, and to regular people that come in and are made 
to feel at home when they come to the Rendezvous for the world-class 
fare. Jack Dyson has made me feel at home. He's a part of the 
Rendezvous. When he retires, part of the Rendezvous will go with him.
  I thank Jack for his service to his country as a Korean war veteran 
and to his service to the world at the world-
famous Rendezvous.
