                     REMEMBERING LINDA FISK MORRIS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Carter) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart 
to remember and honor Linda Fisk Morris of Savannah, Georgia, who sadly 
passed recently at the age of 77.
  Linda spent her life serving her community by sharing her love for 
art and nature.
  After moving to Georgia's First Congressional District in 1997, Linda 
began supporting the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia.
  During her career in Savannah, Linda served on the collections 
committee and helped direct the acquisition of rare works of art for 
the museum.
  Linda's passion for her outdoor life and adventures led her to travel 
around the world. From the Grand Canyon to the Amazon, her passion for 
life was undeniable.
  Everyone who knew Linda recognized her giving heart and love for her 
community.
  I am thankful for the immense impact Linda had on the Savannah 
community. I know her legacy will remain.
  My thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who 
knew her during this most difficult time.


                   Diplomatic Relationship with India

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
important diplomatic partnership between the United States of America 
and the Republic of India.
  Visits of our nations' leaders are critical aspects of our 
relationship, and the United States is honored to welcome Prime 
Minister Modi.
  The United States and India share deep historic ties that are rooted 
in democracy, freedom, and rule of law.
  Over the years, our two nations have increased our trade 
collaboration which is an important component of our partnership. In 
2019 trade in goods and services reached $149 billion between our 
countries. Increasing trade between the United States and India will 
result in greater prosperity for our people.
  It is vital that the world's largest democracy has a strong 
diplomatic partnership with this shining city upon a hill that we have 
been elected to represent.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Prime Minister Modi for being a friend of the 
United States.


                     Honoring Jonathan Holland, II

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart 
to remember and honor Jonathan Holland, II of Brunswick, Georgia, who 
sadly passed away on August 6 at the age of 73.
  Jon had a long, distinguished career in the United States military 
and as a Federal and State law enforcement official.
  After serving in the United States Air Force, Jon worked at the FBI 
before moving to the Virginia Alcohol Control Board, where he spent the 
next 34 years.
  During this time, he was a first responder at the Pentagon attack on 
September 11. After assisting on site for 7 days, Jon received a 
declaration of valor from the Governor of Virginia.
  Jon retired in 2003 and began an 11-year career at the Federal Law 
Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick, Georgia.
  Jon's service to his country and Georgia's First Congressional 
District is extraordinary and will never be forgotten.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who 
knew him during this most difficult time.


                    Remembering John Robert Paddison

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart 
to remember and honor John Robert Paddison of Savannah, Georgia, who 
sadly passed away on August 1 at the age of 98.

  Bob dedicated his life to loving and serving both his country and 
community.
  During World War II Bob enlisted in the United States Air Force and 
served as a pilot. He served in Germany for 18 months, aiding in post-
war recovery.
  Upon returning to Savannah, Bob worked at the Savannah Bank, where he 
would work for the next 30 years until retiring as bank vice president.
  Following his retirement, he then served his community as a volunteer 
teacher for DeRenne Middle School, where he shared his passion for 
photography with his students.
  Cherished for his contagious laughter and love of life, Bob's immense 
impact was felt by everyone he knew.
  I am thankful for Bob's lifetime of service, and I know his legacy 
will be forever treasured.
