                    TRIBUTE TO JAMES ``JIM'' FRENCH

 Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I would like to wish Mr. James 
``Jim'' French of Charleston, SC, a happy 90th birthday.
  Mr. French, a committed, passionate, and award-winning journalist, 
served as a U.S. Navy chief journalist for 26 years. After retiring, he 
founded the Charleston Chronicle in 1971. His work at the Charleston 
Chronicle focused on offering solutions for the problems within the 
Black community and successfully led to receive hundreds of awards from 
organizations throughout the Lowcountry and Nation.
  Mr. French's legacy will forever be defined not just by his work and 
service, but by some many people he has touched in the Charleston 
community.
  I would like to recognize Mr. Jim French for his service to our 
country and our amazing State; he truly represents the very best of 
South Carolina.
  Happy 90th birthday, Mr. French. May God bless you.
