               REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF ANNE COX CHAMBERS

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
life of Mrs. Anne Cox Chambers, who passed away on January 31 at the 
age of 100.
  Her friends and family remember Mrs. Chambers as a wonderful, kind, 
and elegant lady, whose influence spanned the globe.
  An influential businesswoman, legendary philanthropist, and dedicated 
public servant, her many talents included co-owning the family media 
company, Cox Enterprises, for 33 years, and serving as the United 
States ambassador to Belgium.
  Mrs. Chambers was Atlanta's first female bank director, as well as 
the first woman to serve as a director of the Atlanta Chamber of 
Commerce. Mrs. Chambers was also a director of The Coca-Cola Company.
  Mrs. Chambers supported many causes anonymously, but was especially 
dedicated to the arts with her contributions to the High Museum of Art.
  A force to be reckoned with who made Atlanta and the world a better 
place, Mrs. Chambers will be dearly missed. Her family and friends are 
in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
