                    TRIBUTE TO JAMES ``JIM'' FRENCH

 Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I would like to wish Mr. James 
``Jim'' French of Charleston, SC, a happy 92nd 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 problems within the 
African-American community and successfully led to the paper receiving 
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 all of the many people he has touched in the Charleston 
community.
  I would like to recognize Mr. French for his service to our country 
and our amazing State; he truly represents the very best of South 
Carolina.
  Happy 92nd birthday, Mr. French. May God bless you.
