  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute former DeKalb 
County Commissioner, Dr. William C. ``Bill'' Brown, a man whose heart 
is huge, counsel is wise, and guidance is never misleading. His 
demeanor commands the respect of all who are in his presence, and his 
spirit radiates truth, honesty, and an undying love for all people. I 
want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for his constant support 
of my efforts to serve the residents of the Fourth Congressional 
District and the State of Georgia. I have never known a moment when I 
could not look to him for help and knowing this has always been a great 
source of comfort. I pray that those of us who are to follow in his 
footsteps, will be wise enough to do nothing out of selfish ambition or 
vain conceit, but in humility and consider others before ourselves. I 
celebrate you now and always in spirit and in love.
