               IN RECOGNITION OF HORACE L. DICKERSON, JR.

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 12, 2005

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
contributions to our great country by a fine public servant who has 
selflessly given his time and talents to help his fellow man. Horace L. 
Dickerson, Jr. has served as the Southwest Regional Commissioner for 
the Social Security Administration since 1997. This position culminated 
a career that began in 1971. He has spent the past 34 years working 
with employees that Mr. Dickerson fondly refers to as ``his family.''
  In his time with the Social Security Administration, Mr. Dickerson 
has been an outstanding example to his fellow employees, taking care of 
the needs of the American people. He has always carried with him an 
innate understanding that the institution he worked for was charged 
with an important public duty. To carry out that mission meant 
completing every task at the highest standards achievable.
  His work ethic is to be admired and we can only hope duplicated. He 
fostered communication between his employees and encouraged teamwork to 
produce outstanding results for the people he serviced.
  He retires with the admiration of his co-workers and a grateful 
administration. On behalf of the people of Louisiana's 7th 
Congressional District and the American public, I thank Horace L. 
Dickerson for his years of public service.
