House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of 
John F. McMullan, who sadly passed away earlier this month at the age 
of 88.
  Mr. McMullan was born in Covington, Georgia, and graduated from the 
University of Georgia with his accounting degree and master's in 
business administration. He was an avid Georgia Bulldog.
  Mr. McMullan and his beloved wife, Marilyn, were married in 1959. Mr. 
and Mrs. McMullan had been acclaimed for their generosity both inside 
and outside of the State of Georgia. Mr. and Mrs. McMullan had 
contributed to more varied campaigns at the University of Georgia than 
any other donor in the university's history, a testament to their 
generosity.
  As a history lover and a seventh-generation Georgian, Mr. McMullan 
dedicated 52 years to the Georgia Historical Society, serving as board 
curator and endowment trustee. He gave his time, talent, and resources 
to make a profound and long-lasting impact on the institution.
  Mr. McMullan is survived by his wife, Marilyn, his sons, Tom and Ted, 
and four grandchildren. Mr. McMullan will always be remembered for his 
wise counsel, intellectual curiosity, infectious laugh, and optimism 
that the bright light of history will always make the future better.
