  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I present the following U.S. 
Citizen of Distinction.
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this mighty woman 
of God, Mrs. Mildred Butts, who gave of herself to brighten the lives 
of others; and
  Whereas, her dedication to her family and community was unwavering, 
she was a model citizen with a heart of gold, providing nurturing love 
and support to her husband, children, grandchildren and other family 
members; and
  Whereas, this remarkable, positive woman with the beautiful smile 
gave of herself, her time and her talent; never asking for fame or 
fortune but only to uplift those in need; and
  Whereas, she led by example from behind the scenes, her beloved Butts 
family always knew that her hands and her words spoke meaning into 
everyone she encountered; and
  Whereas, this virtuous Proverbs 31 woman was a wife, a mother, a 
friend, a matriarch, and a woman of great integrity; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth Congressional District 
of Georgia has set aside this day to bestow a Congressional recognition 
on Mrs. Mildred Butts for her friendship and service to the citizens in 
Georgia; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby 
attest to the 113th Congress that Mrs. Mildred Butts of Georgia is 
deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional Honor.''
  Mrs. Mildred Butts, U.S. Citizen of Distinction, in the 4th 
Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 3rd day of June, 2014.
