                       Monday, February 14, 2000

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it comes as no surprise to the 
citizens of Carroll County, that one of their own, Tim Jones, has been 
singled out for the distinctive honor of being named the ``Citizen of 
the Year,'' by the Carroll County Emergency Management Association of 
Georgia (EMAG).
  Tim's long record of community involvement, and his outstanding 
contribution to improving response to emergency situations in this 
county, were spotlighted by EMA Director Tim Padgett, who has first 
hand experience of Jones' outstanding service which garnered him the 
top spot in the state.
  I am proud to note that Tim is a personal friend, and that Carroll 
County and the Seventh Congressional District are fortunate indeed to 
have this civic-minded citizen as a friend to all. I am proud today to 
rise in congratulations to Tim Jones, as one of America's top citizens, 
and as the very best in the field of emergency management.
