                        Wednesday, July 27, 2005

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to rise today to thank 
James R. Parker for more than three decades of service to the Nation.
  A dedicated employee of the Federal Government, James will be 
retiring from the Social Security Administration at the end of July. 
For years now, we've been able to count on James to help make 
government work better for all of us.
  While I'm thankful for James and his service, we'll miss the 
knowledge, compassion and tremendous work ethic he brought to every 
task.
  Tennessee is proud of James, and we all wish him and his wife, 
Patricia, a wonderful retirement.
