                          Monday, July 8, 2013

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize a 
close friend, former classmate and fraternity brother of mine, Mr. John 
B. Carter Jr., on his recent retirement. On June 30, 2013, John retired 
as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Georgia Tech Foundation 
(GTF). The Georgia Tech Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation 
which manages the philanthropic gifts given to the Georgia Institute of 
Technology by alumni, corporations, foundations, staff, faculty, 
students, family, and friends in support of academic excellence and 
tradition.
   John graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1970. For 
the past 14 years, he has led the Foundation's day-to-day operations 
and has been responsible for 175,000 alumni data records, accounting 
and financial reporting, legal issues and negotiations, administration, 
and Executive, Committee, Board, and Trustee relations. Prior to 
leading the Foundation, John served 16 years as Vice President and 
Executive Director of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association and served 
our nation for six years in the U.S. Navy. His 30 years of dedicated 
service to our alma mater is rare and to be commended. John's 
leadership has influenced many through his devotion, fortitude, and 
kindness, and will be set apart in the years to come. I am grateful for 
his example of service and for his friendship.
   The Georgia Institute of Technology and the Georgia Tech Foundation 
are fortunate to have such dedicated and innovative alumnus 
professionals as John B. Carter Jr. His commitment to excellence, 
leadership and service is to be admired, and may it inspire others to 
follow in his footsteps. My sincerest wishes and congratulations to him 
on his retirement.
