                       Thursday, December 7, 2006

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Ms. Pat Williams, who was recently installed as the 45th 
Postmaster of Dallas, Texas. In the role of Postmaster, Ms. Williams 
will be responsible for the daily operations of 44 stations and 
branches in the Dallas City ZIP Code area. Notably, Ms. Williams is 
also the first African-American woman to hold the position of 
Postmaster in Dallas.
  A graduate of Prairie View A&M University, Pat Williams began her 
career with U.S. Postal Service in 1981, where she held a number of 
positions in both operations and support for over 10 years in Plant 
Operations. In 1985, she was promoted to supervisor of mails. In 1992, 
she crossed over to Customer Service Operations where she was assigned 
as Superintendent of Mails at Richland Station. Ms. Williams went on to 
supervise and manage several Dallas Stations and branches, and became 
the Lead Customer Service Operations Manager overseeing three Customer 
Service Operations Managers and their 44 stations and branches. In 2004 
she became the District's Manager of Operations Program Support; 
overseeing the development and implementation of all District programs 
and projects.
  Pat Williams truly earned this position through hard work and a 
strong commitment to customer service and her fellow postal workers. 
She is well respected amongst the postal employees and managers, as 
well as, the clerks and carriers.
  Pat Williams has always been dedicated to excellence, and I am 
certain that this pursuit will continue in the form of outstanding 
operations and customer service for the people of Dallas. I am 
confident that Ms. Williams will successfully serve Dallas in her new 
role as Postmaster.
