  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation:
  Whereas, the arrival of John Dominy and his two sons Tom Ball and 
Abraham McCormick to America in 1830 began the McCormick family lineage 
which has blessed us with descendants that have helped to shape our 
nation; and
  Whereas, the McCormick Family has produced many well respected 
citizens, and the patriarchs and matriarchs of the McCormick family are 
pillars of strength that have touched the lives of many; and
  Whereas, in our beloved Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, we 
are honored to have members of the McCormick family for they are some 
of our most honorable citizens in our District; and
  Whereas, family is one of the most honored and cherished institutions 
in the world and we take pride in knowing that families such as the 
McCormick family have set aside this time to fellowship with each 
other, honor one another and to pass along history to each other 
through their family reunion in DeKalb County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the McCormick family; now 
therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim August 
1, 2015 as McCormick Family Reunion Day in the 4th Congressional 
District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 1st day of August, 2015.
