                       COMMENDING JIMMY FRANKLIN

  (Mr. ISAKSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to rise and pay tribute 
to a great Georgian, Mr. Jimmy Franklin of Statesboro, Georgia.
  This week in Orlando, Florida, Mr. Franklin will receive from the 
Georgia Bar Association the Distinguished Service Scrolls Award 
recognizing his outstanding achievement in his profession.
  Mr. Franklin is a respected member of the bar, a leader in his city 
and county and his church. This award recognizes his long contribution 
to Georgia. Also, I am proud to acknowledge his long and trusted advice 
to me, to other Members of Congress, and to Governors of Georgia. His 
knowledge of policy and his love of this country is unsurpassed.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege and a pleasure for me today to pay 
tribute to a great Georgian, Jimmy Franklin, and a warm and trusted 
friend of whom I have the greatest respect.
