                        Wednesday, June 20, 2001

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Reverend Dr. 
Willis T. Goodwin, Pastor of Washington United Methodist Church in 
Charleston, South Carolina, and New Frances Brown United Methodist 
Church in North Charleston.
  On May 15, Reverend Dr. Goodwin was awarded the prestigious 
``National Service Award'' by the Washington Times Foundation. This 
``Salute to a National Hero'' was presented at the third annual 
National Service Awards Banquet, here in Washington, DC, and I was 
honored to be present for the occasion.
  Reverend Dr. Goodwin was honored for his outstanding record of 
humanitarian service. Faith-based community leaders from all 50 states 
were recognized for the wonderful contributions they have made to our 
society. Reverend Goodwin has spent a lifetime helping the sick, the 
disposesssed, and the less fortunate of this world, and I am pleased to 
see that this kind of commitment is recognized and commended.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in paying tribute to Reverend Dr. Willis 
T. Goodwin for his many years of unselfish service to God and Country.
