               RECOGNIZING STATE SENATOR TOMMIE WILLIAMS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Senator 
Tommie Williams and his retirement from the Georgia State Senate.
  Since first being elected to office in 1998, Senator Williams has 
spent the last 18 years representing his South Georgia constituents in 
extraordinary fashion.
  Through the years, Senator Williams' hard work and passion has 
flourished as he has moved through the ranks from majority leader to 
President pro tempore, always working to keep Georgia's economy 
growing.
  As a true conservative from Lyons, Georgia, a great friend, and a 
passionate lawmaker, Senator Williams' service to the State of Georgia 
will be missed. I wish my friend the best of luck in his future 
endeavors.
