                REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF HOWARD MORRISON

  (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 my good friend and the friend of many Savannahans, Mr. Howard 
Morrison, who passed away on January 24.
  Mr. Morrison, with his exceptional talent for bringing people 
together propelled Savannah to make great strides throughout the 
community. A Yale graduate, Mr. Morrison served in the Navy before 
embarking on a 30-year banking career in the Savannah banking industry.
  He always held firm that the most important contributions to Savannah 
were education, healthcare, and community development. To that end, he 
worked hard to bring a Georgia Tech campus to the Savannah area. 
Georgia Tech Savannah recently presented him with the Opportunity 
Award, given to those who have created opportunities for others.
  One of Mr. Morrison's closest friends remembers him coaxing numerous 
individuals to move to Savannah because of the opportunities, many of 
which he was creating himself.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud that Savannah had someone like Howard 
Morrison, who helped it become the city it is today. His family and his 
many friends will be in my thoughts and prayers.
