                        IN HONOR OF REGGIE WHITE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK GREEN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 4, 2005

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, Americans are mourning the loss 
of Reggie White. He was a great player--a magnificent player. Without 
him, my Packers would not have won Super Bowl XXXI. But, athletes come 
and go--even great ones. My friend, Reggie White, will be long 
remembered because he was so much more. He may have left the playing 
fields, but he never left his fans, and he never stopped caring for the 
needs of his neighbors. Reggie and his wife Sara launched Urban Hope in 
Green Bay--a program that helped start some 400 small businesses and 
create 1,100 jobs. Reggie believed in active faith--in putting his 
values and talents to work on the field and in the streets. We have 
lost a great player, but we have lost a greater man.
