  Mr. KUYKENDALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to James A. 
Algie, Chairman of the Board of the Goodwill Industries of Long Beach 
and South Bay. Jim Algie passed away last year, and he is dearly 
missed.
  Jim Algie was committed to the progress and success of the Goodwill 
Industries. Jim was dedicated to helping others and proudly followed 
Goodwill's mission to serve the communities of Southern Los Angeles 
County by educating, training, and placing people with barriers to 
employment to help them achieve economic and personal independence.
  Jim was tireless in his efforts to better Goodwill Industries and he 
has left a lasting impact. He even helped change the accounting and 
financial reporting systems making the organization more efficient and 
cost productive.
  People will remember Jim for his generosity and his great sense of 
humor, and for always being there for his friends and co-workers. Jim 
Algie touched the lives of many, and although he is missed, his legacy 
lives on. The Goodwill Industries is a better organization because of 
Jim Algie.
