                       Tuesday, November 14, 2006

  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to take this 
opportunity to congratulate the mayor, city council and citizens of the 
newly created city of Milton in Georgia. In accordance with a bill 
passed by the Georgia General Assembly and signed by Governor Sonny 
Perdue, the community of Milton will be officially incorporated as a 
city in December 2006.
  What a wonderful and gratifying time this is for the people of 
Milton. They worked tirelessly to make this day a reality and have 
chosen to honor Mr. Joe Lockwood as the first mayor of their new city.
  Milton is a pastoral, involved and respectful community. They have 
seized the opportunity to have a direct impact on their future. This 
achievement also comes with many new responsibilities. I am confident 
that the citizens will successfully embrace these new challenges. It is 
my honor to represent this new Georgia municipality.
  Mr. Speaker, thank you for the privilege of bringing the recognition 
of this House of Representatives as we congratulate the people of 
Milton, Georgia and wish them the very best during this exciting 
transition.
