                       RECOGNIZING JAMIE DURRENCE

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
Jamie Durrence who has been selected to serve as the 2020 chair of the 
Georgia Restaurant Association Board of Directors.
  I can't think of someone more deserving of this responsibility. In 
his more than 20 years managing restaurants in Savannah, he has 
rejuvenated Savannah's restaurant scene with four restaurants that 
serve fresh ingredients, unique menus, quality service, and overall 
exceptional dining experiences.
  Much of Mr. Durrence's penchant for the restaurant industry stems 
from his youth when he was raised on a working farm just outside of 
Savannah.
  As chairman of the Georgia Restaurant Association Board of Directors, 
Mr. Durrence will be tasked as the chief spokesperson for the industry 
and will be an integral part of the statewide events.
  I know that the Georgia restaurant industry is in good hands with Mr. 
Durrence.
  Congratulations, Mr. Durrence. Keep up the good work.
