                    RECOGNIZING MAYOR MARILYN HATLEY

  (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 recognize an incredible 
public servant and a great friend, Mayor Marilyn Hatley of Myrtle 
Beach, South Carolina, who is retiring after two decades of public 
service.
  Marilyn has been a constant force for many years, leading with 
strength, dedication, and a genuine heart for the people of North 
Myrtle Beach.
  She is a pioneer. She has worked harder than anyone. In fact, she is 
one of the hardest-working women that I know to make North Myrtle Beach 
not just a premier tourist destination but a place we are all proud to 
call home.
  She has championed beach renourishment, expanded recreational 
opportunities, and helped build major infrastructure, all while keeping 
North Myrtle Beach on budget with some of the lowest taxes and crime 
rates in South Carolina.
  The entire city is proud of the lasting impact Marilyn has made on 
North Myrtle Beach. I know she will enjoy this next chapter. She has 
earned it.
