                 IN MEMORY OF REPRESENTATIVE BOB BRYANT

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember a true 
civil servant and my friend, Representative Bob Bryant, who died this 
morning.
  Over his lifetime, Representative Bryant's professional career 
included a variety of services in different areas. He began his career 
serving 2 years in South Vietnam and 10 years as an Army recruiter 
before retiring in 1982. He then worked 5 years as general manager for 
a local radio station, spent time as office manager to a local law 
firm, and worked 13 years for the city of Savannah, until he retired in 
2001. After 40 years of service to his community, he was not done. He 
was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2004 and was 
currently serving his 12th year.
  I will always remember Representative Bryant, as he and I worked 
together to pass our first pieces of legislation in the Georgia House 
over a decade ago. I can truly say that he was beloved by his 
constituents and colleagues alike. I am deeply saddened by the loss of 
my friend and colleague.
  I wish to extend my condolences to his family. He will be missed.
