                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 27, 2003

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to honor Mr. Gregg Modesitt on his selection as The Central 
Fairfax Chamber of Commerce Business Leader of the Year for 2002. Mr. 
Modesitt will be honored at the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce 
Luncheon on January 23, 2003.
  Mr. Modesitt is a certified public accountant in Northern Virginia, 
but more importantly he provides considerable community leadership. Mr. 
Modesitt is involved with many local organizations and has been honored 
by many for his professional talents and philanthropic efforts. In the 
past, he has served as treasurer, vice president and president of the 
Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, in addition to serving as the 
Director and Vice President for Loans of the Virginia Asset Financing 
Corporation. He also has served on the faculty at Northern Virginia 
Community College, teaching adult education courses, been an active 
member and President of the Annandale Rotary, and served as a life 
member of Virginia Jaycees. These activities are simply a few of the 
many activities Mr. Modesitt has undertaken.
  More important than his professional accomplishments are the immense 
personal and social impacts Mr. Modesitt has had on the Northern 
Virginia community. He is a strong supporter of mentoring programs in 
the community and is described by colleagues as one who willingly gives 
his time and knowledge to others who need guidance and encouragement. 
One notable way Mr. Modesitt has consistently given to the community is 
his service as Santa Claus each year for organizations that assist 
underprivileged children.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, it is with great pleasure that I extend a 
wholehearted thank you and congratulations to Mr. Modesitt. His 
contributions to Virginia and his community have been great. I call 
upon my colleagues to join me in applauding him for all that he has 
done.
