                           HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, 37 years ago today, I received 
one of the highest honors of my life when I was married to the former 
Amy Coppage of Waycross, Georgia.
  We met as chemistry lab partners at Young Harris College in the north 
Georgia mountains. I didn't really like her much then--she was a lot 
smarter than me--but that quickly changed, and I grew very fond of her.
  We were married in Trinity United Methodist Church in Waycross, 
Georgia. We have been blessed with three wonderful sons, two daughters-
in-law, two wonderful granddaughters, and we have a grandson on the 
way. Those fine young men are really the result of her efforts.
  I want to wish her a happy anniversary. We have been very blessed, 
and I am blessed today to have her with me.
  Happy anniversary.
