             JOHN SIDNEY `SID' FLOWERS POST OFFICE BUILDING

  The bill (H.R. 3470) to designate the facility of the United States 
Postal Service located at 744 West Oglethorpe Highway in Hinesville, 
Georgia, as the ``John Sidney `Sid' Flowers Post Office Building,'' was 
considered, ordered to a third reading, read the third time, and 
passed.
  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, I rise before you today to pay tribute to 
Sidney Flowers. Mr. Flowers was the respected Solicitor General for 
Liberty County, GA, a popular member of the community, a loving family 
man and a true Southern gentleman.
  After high school, Sid Flowers gave 2 years of service to his country 
by enlisting in the Army. He then went on to study law at Mercer 
University law school in Macon, GA, before heading back to live and 
work in his hometown in Liberty County, GA.
  The community was always at the center of Sid's life. He was chairman 
of the Liberty County Cancer Society, a member of the Lions Club, the 
Masonic Lodge and the American Legion, as well as an honorary member of 
the Georgia Sheriff's Association. He was also a committed elder at the 
First Presbyterian Church, to which he gave not only his time, but also 
his legal expertise.
  The Senate has passed H.R. 3470, a bill naming the post office in 
Hinesville, GA, as the Sidney `Sid' Flowers Post Office Building. It 
will stand as a reminder of one man's exceptional contribution to his 
community.
