                        RECOGNIZING MR. GUS BELL

  (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 recognize Mr. Gus 
Bell and his 50 years of service to the Hussey Gay Bell Firm, a design 
and architecture company located in Savannah, Georgia, dedicated to 
innovating the engineering field.
  Mr. Bell joined the company in 1966 and, with his hard work, 
purchased the company 20 years later. He then led Hussey Gay Bell's 
expansion to international clients, proving itself an international 
pioneer in architecture and engineering.
  While a big one, this is only one of Mr. Gus Bell's many 
accomplishments. For the last five decades, Mr. Bell has also dedicated 
himself to the enrichment of the State of Georgia. He has chaired the 
board of Mercer's medical school, founded the St. Andrew's School 
Board, and represented the State of Georgia in a major water dispute. 
Mr. Bell's influence is felt throughout the region and, certainly, 
beyond.
  I am honored that Mr. Bell is a resident of Georgia's First 
Congressional District, and I thank him for his dedication to our area.
  On a personal note, I thank him for all of his assistance to me while 
I was mayor of the city of Pooler. I am honored to call him my friend.
