                       RECOGNIZING PATRICK PROKOP

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
Patrick Prokop.
  After 38 years as a meteorologist, 35 of which were spent in 
Savannah, Georgia, Pat Prokop is retiring.
  He started his broadcasting career in 1977 and, through the years, 
worked in Kansas, Missouri, and Georgia. He was an advocate for letting 
science do the talking and never missed an opportunity to educate 
people about the weather.
  Pat announced his retirement on November 25 and said he is looking 
forward to spending more time volunteering, marathon training, and 
traveling. He also said he plans to enjoy the weather, which we should 
all do more of.
  I commend Pat for his years of service to the southeast Georgia 
community and wish him all the best. You deserve it, Pat.
