                        Thursday, March 6, 2014

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Andrew 
Pouncey on being selected as the 2014 Citizen of the Year by the Lions 
Club of Germantown, Tennessee. This public recognition is well deserved 
and stands in support of the career of Mr. Pouncey, who has 
consistently strived for the betterment of others.
  After graduating from both Rhodes College in Memphis and Mississippi 
State University, Mr. Pouncey began his career in both Planning and 
Landscape Architecture. Beginning in 1990, Mr. Pouncey served in 
numerous capacities for the city of Germantown, Tennessee. From Chief 
Planner to the Director of Economic and Community Development, Mr. 
Pouncey helped the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, the government of 
Germantown, and its residents enjoy this wonderful city. Additionally, 
the Riverdale Nature Garden, Civic Club Plaza, GPAC, Code of 
Ordinances, Urban Growth Boundary, and Smart Growth have been touched 
by the work of Mr. Pouncey.
  This dedication to preservation also found itself in the non-
governmental life of Mr. Pouncey. Serving as the President of the 
Memphis Belle Memorial Association, board member of the Tennessee 
Preservation Trust, and the Germantown Museum, he spent numerous years 
saving our Tennessee heritage for future generations. Mr. Pouncey has 
selflessly left his mark on safeguarding the history of the United 
States of America.
  On behalf of Tennessee's 8th Congressional District, I congratulate 
Mr. Pouncey on being the 2014 Citizen of the Year. I wish him the best 
of luck for all future endeavors.
