  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my 
friend, Edward Zipperer, of Savannah, Georgia for his 90th birthday on 
August 8.
  Ed has dedicated his life to improving the great state of Georgia.
  Born in Savannah, Georgia in 1931, Ed was raised on a farm south of 
US 17. He went on to play football at Savannah high school and earned a 
degree in agricultural engineering from the University of Georgia.
  Ed served in the Georgia State Senate from 1967 to 1975 and was on 13 
separate committees during his tenure. He also served as the president 
of Chatham County Farm Bureau for 40 years. Some of his accomplishments 
include bringing new state parks and recreational areas to our Coastal 
Georgia community.
  Throughout his career, Ed remained committed to conserving and 
protecting the beautiful lands of South Georgia.
  I am proud to rise today to honor Ed for his decades of leadership, 
and commitment to our country.
