                          HON. SAXBY CHAMBLISS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2000

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to honor Mr. Albert 
August ``Gus'' Karle. Mr. Karle, who has served the Waycross-Ware 
County community for forty-five years, has decided to step down from 
his position as president of the Waycross-Ware County Chamber of 
Commerce.
  Mr. Karle has been a dedicated member of the Waycross-Ware County 
community for many years. He has worked in the private sector for 
forty-one years, thirty-six years for the railroad, before retiring and 
dedicating his time to the Waycross civic arena. Mr. Karle has 
unselfishly assisted the YMCA, the Downtown Waycross Development 
Authority, and the Waycross-Ware County Chamber of Commerce, where he 
served as President for five years before retiring in June of 2000.
  The Waycross-Ware county community and myself are proud of Mr. 
Karle's service and dedication. His leadership and prior activity in 
both the local civic and church affairs will be greatly missed but 
certainly not forgotten.
