                       Wednesday, March 10, 1999

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that Harvey 
Williams of Versailles, MO, was selected by the Versailles Chamber of 
Commerce as the 1999 Citizen of the Year.
  Williams was chosen for his various generous contributions to the 
community. He has been president of the Versailles Area Chamber of 
Commerce and served on the chamber board. He was instrumental in 
bringing Gates Rubber Company and Wal-Mart into Versailles.
  He has been president of the Morgan County Fair Board and held 
several other offices while an active member of the Versailles Lions 
Club. He has also served on the Olde Tyme Apple Festival organizing 
committee, and was instrumental in incorporating the Royal Theater. He 
still serves on the Royal Theater Board of Directors.
  Williams is a former chairman of the Morgan County Health Center 
Board of Directors and has spoken on behalf of the local cancer society 
on cancer survival from personal experience as a cancer survivor.
  Williams is Vice-President of Mercantile Bank, and he and his wife 
are owners of Harvest Designs in Versailles.
  I wish to extend my congratulations to Mr. Williams for his well 
deserved award as the Versailles Chamber of Commerce's 1999 Citizen of 
the Year.
