                    CONGRATULATING FRED ALLEN SMALLS

  (Mr. FRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Fred Allen 
Smalls on receiving an honorary high school diploma from Georgetown 
High School.
  Mr. Smalls was born in Georgetown County and later lived in Mullins 
before moving to Washington, D.C., with his family.
  His graduation ceremony was attended by more than 100 people voicing 
their support, a testament to the respect and esteem Mr. Smalls has 
garnered.
  His determination is an inspiration to all of us in South Carolina. 
If you ask him, though, Mr. Smalls will credit many of his 
accomplishments to his grandmother and his aunt, who raised him and 
instilled in him the value of perseverance.
  I congratulate Mr. Smalls on his inspiring achievement.
