  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, I ask that the House join me in 
recognizing Mr. William ``Bill'' Brown of Batavia, New York on 
achieving Honorary status in the Batavia Rotary Club.
  Bill has been recognized to receive this award by distinguishing 
himself through ``meritorious service in the furtherance of Rotary 
ideals.''
  Bill first joined the Batavia Rotary Club in January of 1960, and he 
served as the organization's president from 1974 to 1975. He was one of 
the first Batavia Rotary Club members to be awarded a Paul Harris 
Fellow for his generous donation to those less fortunate.
  Additionally, Bill was chairman of Rotary Radio Days for 35 years and 
was a popular participant in the annual Rotary Comedy Show.
  Bill has always stood by his commitment and dedication to ``service 
above self.''
  Madam Speaker, I ask that this House join me in recognizing Bill for 
his commitment to the Batavia Rotary Club and achieving Honorary status 
in the organization.
