                REMEMBERING HERBERT ``HERB'' JONES, JR.

  (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 the life of 
the Honorable Herbert ``Herb'' Jones, Jr.
  On September 16, Herb passed away peacefully at the age of 93. He was 
a devoted Christian who taught Sunday school and volunteered on mission 
trips across the U.S.
  He was a statesman, as well. Herb served in the Georgia House of 
Representatives for 14 years and spent 6 of those years being the House 
minority leader.
  His accomplishments are too numerous for one speech, but some of them 
include casting electoral college votes for President Reagan, working 
to expand the Georgia ports, and helping to secure crucial funding for 
Memorial Medical Center.
  Herb was humble, gracious, loving, loyal, and kind, always putting 
others before himself. He was also an inspiration to me as he was there 
with me when I first went into the Georgia House of Representatives.
  I will always appreciate his counsel. He will be remembered by all 
for his years of selfless service to the State of Georgia.
