                        RECOGNIZING JASON GRAHAM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Carter) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
dedication with which Jason Graham serves the First District of Georgia 
as director of pharmacy for St. Joseph's/Candler Health System.
  He was recently selected to be the director of pharmacy, overseeing 
the day-to-day pharmaceutical needs of two anchor hospitals, dozens of 
other care locations, and thousands of patients.
  He has built a career over two decades with the St. Joseph's/Candler 
Health System, starting in 2001 as a pharmacy technician.
  When he was getting his undergraduate degree in biology, Jason worked 
with us at my pharmacy. His bright mind and desire to help others were 
quickly apparent to me. Since working for us, he has earned a master's 
degree in health services administration and a doctor of pharmacy 
degree.
  After beginning his career as a pharmacy technician, he served as a 
clinical pharmacist and as a pharmacy manager.
  He is an active member of the American Society of Health-System 
Pharmacists and is the southeast regional director for the Georgia 
Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
  On top of all this, he oversees the training of medical and pharmacy 
school students, ensuring the next generation of medicine is in good 
hands.
  He lives in Savannah with his wife, Shannon, who also worked with us, 
twin sons Conner and Jackson, and his daughter Hayden.
  I am proud of the work that Jason has done on behalf of the entire 
First District. I thank him for his dedication to promoting the health 
of southeast Georgia.


         Congratulating the University of Georgia School of Law

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
University of Georgia School of Law for being named the best value in 
legal education by The National Jurist magazine.
  We need well-educated, ethical, and competent employees in all 
sectors, but especially law. As lawyers combat the challenges facing 
our legal system, the University of Georgia School of Law is helping 
answer that need by providing an exceptional legal education at an 
affordable price.
  I am particularly impressed by UGA School of Law's proactive efforts 
to keep it that way. Dean Bo Rutledge and his team have worked 
tirelessly to reduce the annual indebtedness for students by over $5 
million. In 2019, almost 40 percent of the juris doctor student body 
did not borrow funds for their education.
  UGA School of Law continues to top national rankings in 
postgraduation employment, bar passage rates, and income level 
postgrad. This success is a testament to the outstanding education 
students receive at the University of Georgia for whatever degree they 
are pursuing.
  Congratulations again to UGA School of Law and Dean Bo Rutledge. I 
have no doubt that your graduates will continue to make a positive 
impact on our legal system and for the Georgia community.

              Recognizing Chatham County Police Department

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
persistence and the dedication of the Chatham County Police Department 
along with Chief Jeff Hadley in investigating one of the toughest, most 
tragic cases I have ever heard of.
  The case surrounded the disappearance of Quinton Simon, a 20-month-
old boy who was reported missing from his home on the morning of 
October 5. The case surrounded the parents of Quinton, and immediately 
the Chatham County Police Department launched a no-expense-spared 
search for the Savannah child with detectives regularly working 18 to 
20 hours a day to find Quinton and bring him home.
  For weeks, the Chatham County Police Department, in tandem with the

[[Page H9695]]

FBI, searched for evidence that could lead them to Quinton. 
Investigators successfully uncovered Quinton's remains along with other 
evidence that led them to arrest his mother for the disappearance and 
murder of her son.
  It is cases like these that exemplify the thankless nature of life in 
law enforcement. Day in and day out, police and first responders 
grapple with tragedies of a magnitude most of us can't even imagine, 
let alone handle ourselves.
  I want to take this opportunity to thank Chief Hadley and the Chatham 
County Police Department for the work that they do because I don't know 
how they do it. This is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and our 
officers deserve more recognition for handling situations like these 
gracefully and professionally as they so often do.
