                        Monday, January 29, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask for the 
attention of the House today to pay recognition to Judge Jack Hughes, a 
highly respected public servant who is retiring from 19 years of 
service. Currently, Judge Hughes presides as Circuit Judge of the 
Seventh Judicial Circuit in Anniston, Alabama.
  Judge Hughes has served our nation in a number of important 
capacities. Prior to graduating from the Birmingham School of Law in 
1983, Judge Hughes served our Nation in the United States Army, as well 
as in a law enforcement capacity at the Anniston Police Department. 
After earning his law degree, he has worked in both private practice 
and has served as the Presiding Judge for the Seventh Judicial Circuit, 
and Presiding Family Court Judge.
  Our great Nation is made stronger by those who serve the common good. 
Jack Hughes has served his community and his Nation well, and for that 
we all extend to him our most hearty thanks. I salute Judge Hughes on 
this important occasion, and congratulate him on his service to the 
legal field and to our community.
