                          HONORING CARL BROWN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MARSHA BLACKBURN

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 23, 2005

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it's not every day that I get the 
opportunity to recognize someone who has demonstrated tremendous 
dedication to public service. But today I have just such an 
opportunity.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Carl Brown, Tennessee's 
Department of Human Services Assistant Commissioner, for being one of 
those people who makes government work better.
  Carl has served our State for more than four decades and he's done a 
magnificent job. The thousands of disabled Tennesseans he has helped 
over the years know exactly what I mean when I say that Carl has lived 
to serve others. He has always known that there are few higher callings 
in life than helping those in need. And we are grateful for him.
  While I'm thankful for Carl and his service to our State, we will 
miss his work at the Department of Human Services when he retires this 
May 2005.
  All of us in Tennessee wish Carl and his wife, Mary Frances, a 
wonderful retirement with their children and grandchildren.
