  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I am so pleased to take this 
opportunity to congratulate the mayor and city council and citizens of 
the newly created City of Johns Creek in Georgia. In accordance with 
the bill passed by the Georgia General Assembly and signed by Governor 
Sonny Perdue, the community of Johns Creek will be officially 
incorporated as a city on December 1, 2006.
  This is a wonderful and gratifying time for the people of Johns 
Creek. Those residents fought diligently to make this day a reality. 
They have chosen to honor Mr. Mike Bodker as the first mayor of their 
new city.
  Johns Creek is a vibrant, engaged and dynamic community. They have 
seized the opportunity to have a more direct impact on their future, 
and this achievement also comes with many new responsibilities.
  I am confident that the citizens will successfully embrace these new 
challenges, as our 10th largest city, Johns Creek, will also be a 
leader in our larger Georgia community.
  Madam Speaker, thank you for the privilege of bringing the 
recognition of this House of Representatives as we congratulate the 
people of Johns Creek, Georgia and wish them the very best during this 
exciting transition.
