                         HONORING TYRONE BROWN

  (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 honor Tyrone 
``Hollywood'' Brown, who was recently inducted into the American 
Basketball Hall of Fame.
  Tyrone Brown was born in Savannah, Georgia, where he went to Alfred 
E. Beach High School.
  After years of hard work at Savannah State University, Tyrone joined 
the Harlem Globetrotters in 1985.
  He was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters for over 10 years. During 
his time with the Globetrotters, Tyrone put an emphasis on children's 
education and development.
  He remained passionate about inspiring children to set goals and work 
hard, leading him to create the Ambassadors of Responsibility 
Foundation to enable former teammates to better serve elementary and 
middle school students across the country.
  Tyrone also wrote a book ``A Piece of Paper'' that tells his own 
story of how he worked to become a Harlem Globetrotter.
  Tyrone was inducted into the Hall of Fame this past June alongside 
many other basketball legends.
