                HONORING COLONEL WILLIAM GLEN GUSTAFSON

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Colonel William Glen 
Gustafson of Marietta, Georgia, who sadly passed away last Tuesday.
  Throughout his life, Colonel Gustafson served his country and his 
community. He was a master parachutist and troop commander during two 
tours of duty in Vietnam. He worked for the American Defense 
Preparedness Association here in Washington. He served on the academy 
review committees of former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn and former House 
Speaker Newt Gingrich. And from 1991 to 1997, he served three terms as 
chairman of the Cobb County Republican Party.
  In all these capacities, Colonel Gustafson exemplified the virtues of 
honor, dignity, and leadership. His death is a great loss not only for 
his family but for the entire Cobb community as well. I will always 
remember the enthusiasm he brought to his work and his commitment to 
solving every challenge he

faced. I will greatly miss his charisma, his leadership, and, most of 
all, his friendship.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Colonel 
Gustafson.
