                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO HARRY HANCOCK

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SPENCER BACHUS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 8, 2005

  Mr. BACHUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a very 
special member of the Birmingham community, Harry Hancock.
  Harry Hancock has provided compassionate and caring service as the 
District Manager of the Birmingham Downtown Social Security office for 
many years. For over a quarter century, Harry has given of his time to 
ensure that his fellow Americans are treated fairly in their attempts 
to access Social Security benefits. However, Harry's time with the 
Social Security Administration is but one aspect of a lifetime devoted 
to public service, which began with Harry's courageous service as a 
member of the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to bring Harry Hancock's career of service 
to the attention of my colleagues here today. I join with the residents 
of the entire 6th Congressional District of Alabama in congratulating 
Harry Hancock as he retires from federal service. I wish Harry and his 
wife Rene nothing but happiness in the days ahead.

                          ____________________
