                REMEMBERING ROBERT JOSEPH ``JOE'' ALLEN

  (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 remember the 
life of Joe Allen from Folkston, Georgia, who sadly passed away on 
November 13 at the age of 74. After graduating from Charlton County 
High School in 1965, Joe earned a bachelor of science in forestry at 
the University of Georgia.
  Following his graduation, Joe began a successful career in the 
forestry and logging industry where he served as a strong advocate for 
the industry in southeast Georgia. During his time as the executive 
director of Southeastern Wood Producers, Joe played a vital role in 
shaping legislation that benefited loggers throughout the United 
States. A faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Folkston, Joe 
served as head deacon and a dedicated Sunday school teacher.
  Known as a reliable friend with exceptional character and unwavering 
faith, Joe's service to his community is truly remarkable. I am 
grateful for Joe's service, and I know his memory will always be 
cherished.
  My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew him during this most 
difficult time.
