                       HONORING DR. WILLIAM CLARK

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor my good friend Dr. William Clark on his birthday.
  Bill is a resident of Waycross, Georgia, where he practices as an 
ophthalmologist at the Clark Eye Clinic.
  He followed in his father's footsteps, returning to southeast Georgia 
after graduating from the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta 
University. He has since been one of the most highly sought-after 
ophthalmologists in the entire State.
  Bill is more than just a physician. He is a leader in our community 
and our district. He has served as the chair of the Okefenokee Swamp 
Park Board of Trustees, chair of the Waycross-Ware County Industrial 
Development Authority, chair of the Waycross Convention and Visitors 
Bureau, and executive committee member of the Georgia Chamber of 
Commerce.
  Dr. Clark's impact on ophthalmology in the First District will be 
felt for generations to come.
  I won't embarrass Dr. Clark and mention his age, but I will say he is 
much older than I am.
  Happy birthday, Bill. Thank you for all you do for our district.
