                          ALLAN W. McWILLIAMS

 Mr. ALLEN. Mr. President, I am pleased today to recognize Mr. 
Allan W. McWilliams of Berryville, VA, who has served on the town 
council for 24 years. Mr. McWilliams served as ward representative from 
1982 until 1991 and assumed his current role as the town's recorder in 
1991.
  Mr. McWilliams, who is affectionately known as ``Bugs,'' has made 
numerous contributions as one of the town's leaders. During his tenure 
on the town council, Mr. McWilliams has worked to promote fiscal 
responsibility, lower taxes and responsible planned growth. He has 
overseen the development of a professional community police force and 
has helped to implement a long-range capital planning project. As a 
resident of Berryville for more than 50 years and an owner of a 
business in downtown Berryville for the past 27 years, Mr. McWilliams 
is truly committed to the growth and success of this town.
  Mr. McWilliams, who is married to Barbara and is the father to 
Jeffery and Michelle, has brought an innovative spirit and common-
sense, principled leadership to the Town of Berryville. I am grateful 
for his service to the Commonwealth of Virginia and am pleased to join 
his colleagues, friends and family members in honoring him upon his 
retirement.
