                        HONORING MONICA PEARSON

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Lewis) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, for more than 30 years, Monica 
Pearson has been a voice of WSB-TV, the Atlanta ABC station. She is a 
sensitive, caring individual, and one of the most loved and admired 
television anchors in the Nation. You can always see her out in Metro 
Atlanta somewhere, serving and sharing, giving back to the community of 
people who have supported her for many, many years.
  When Monica delivers the news, people believe it because they believe 
in her, and they know she believes in them. She didn't just read the 
news, but as a member of a community she tried to discover the truth, 
and we trusted what she said. Though she may be leaving the airwaves, 
she is not retiring from her involvement in our city, our State, and 
our Nation.
  I wish Monica and her husband, John, the very best. We love her. 
She's been good for our city, for our State, and for our Nation.
