  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation.
  Whereas, in the mid 1800's, the Maultsby Family settled in Bladen 
County, North Carolina; since that time, they have blessed us with 
descendants across the country who have helped to shape and mold our 
nation; and
  Whereas, today we honor all of the matriarchs and patriarchs, who are 
pillars of strength for the Maultsby family; and
  Whereas, in our beloved Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, we 
are honored to have many members of the Maultsby family who are some of 
our most productive citizens such as Ms. Marilyn Pruitt and Mr. Jerome 
Maultsby; and
  Whereas, family is one of the most honored and cherished institutions 
in the world, we take pride in knowing that families such as the 
Maultsby family have set aside this time to fellowship with each other, 
honor one another and to pass along history to each other by meeting at 
this year's family reunion in Georgia's Fourth Congressional District; 
and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Maultsby Family; now 
therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim, July 
25, 2014 as The Maultsby Family Reunion Day in the 4th Congressional 
District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 25th day of July, 2014.

                          ____________________
