  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th Birthday 
of Buddy Rich, and to celebrate his status as the world's greatest 
drummer, along with his patriotism and love of country. Born in 
Brooklyn, New York, Buddy Rich was known for his virtuoso technique, 
power, and speed. His legacy to the genre of jazz will live on forever.
