  RECOGNIZING HOBE AND SUE WILLIAMS FOR THEIR WORK IN THE DAILY BREAD 
                           COMMUNITY KITCHEN

  (Mr. ROE of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hobe and 
Sue Williams for their service to the people of the great State of 
Tennessee.
  Hobe and Sue founded the Daily Bread Community Kitchen in Morristown, 
Tennessee, in November of 1994 in response to what they saw as a 
growing need for feeding the poor. Upon opening, the Daily Bread 
managed to feed around 50 people a day.
  Today, the nonprofit feeds over 350 people a day, every day except 
Sundays, and has just renovated their building, providing them with an 
even greater opportunity to serve their east Tennessee neighbors. 
Twenty years later and staffed with 150 volunteers, the Daily Bread 
continues to provide for those most in need.
  At age 89, Hobe Williams, with his wife, Sue, by his side, have no 
immediate plans to retire and continue to work hard for the people of 
east Tennessee. East Tennessee is a better place to live and our 
community is stronger because of the dedication of people like Hobe and 
Sue Williams.
  God bless you, Hobe and Sue, for your service and friendship, and I 
wish you all the best with the newly-renovated building.
