                        HONORING TIMOTHY SWEEZEY

  (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 the life 
of Mr. Timothy Sweezey, who passed away on January 11 at the age of 50.
  At the time of his passing, he was serving as the city manager of 
Darien, in the First Congressional District of Georgia. In his own 
words, that position was the dream job he always wanted. And, as city 
manager, Mr. Sweezey did an exceptional job managing the unique 
challenges in Darien, including multiple hurricanes, preserving 
historical buildings, and new developments in the downtown area.
  But nobody reaches their dream job without hard work. Prior to his 
time with the City of Darien, he worked as a substitute teacher, led 
city recreation departments, and headed a marine institute, all of 
which prepared him for his excellent public service in coastal Georgia.
  Mr. Sweezey is certainly leaving Darien a better place than he found 
it, and his work in the city will be missed.
  His family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers during this 
most difficult time.
