                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 9, 2006

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the Page Class of 2006 and in particular the page from the 
30th District of Texas, Linwood Fields. You have served the United 
States House of Representatives with honor and dignity, and should be 
proud of your accomplishments.
  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ``An individual has not started 
living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his 
individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.'' It 
is my hope that during your time here you were able to expand your 
perspectives on the world, and will continue to utilize this knowledge 
in the years ahead.
  I am particularly proud of Linwood Fields. He has honorably 
represented his family, my office, and the Dallas community. He 
successfully served this House through his outstanding work and 
extraordinary spirit. I know that this is merely the first step of a 
very bright future. I am confident that Linwood will go onto to become 
a fine and successful man, and I look forward to seeing his 
accomplishments in the years to come.
  I commend Linwood and the Page Class of 2006 for their outstanding 
service. Myself and my colleagues are grateful for all you have done.

                          ____________________
