              RECOGNIZING FORMER STATE SENATOR ED ZIPPERER

  (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 former 
Georgia State Senator Ed Zipperer.
  Senator Zipperer was a dedicated public servant who served coastal 
Georgia in numerous ways. He was the president of the Chatham County 
Farm Bureau for 40 years. He also served 8 years in the State Senate 
representing coastal Georgia. One of his many contributions includes 
the new State parks he brought to the area.
  This July in Chatham County, lawmakers named the 204 interchange 
bridge as the Edward H. Zipperer Bridge, a fitting addition to his 
legacy because of his work on the assembly's transportation committee.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to see this great Georgia public servant, 
Senator Zipperer, get the recognition he deserves.
  Senator Zipperer, you are a dear friend, a great Georgian, and I am 
grateful for your service.
