  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I celebrate the extraordinary 
work and legacy of Charly Skaggs, who has led a life of continual 
service to the state of Texas. His leadership, vision, and commitment 
to hard work has made a difference to countless lives within Williamson 
County.
  Charly's three-plus decades of public service have helped grow the 
juvenile services department in Williamson County into the program it 
is today. Knowing the hardships of being a small department with 
limited resources, Charly devoted his leadership abilities to staying 
on the cutting edge of programs and brought a state-of-the-art juvenile 
service department to his beloved community. His efforts speak to the 
dedication of an innovator unafraid to embrace the challenges of today 
in order to make a better tomorrow.
  Throughout his life, Charly has unselfishly devoted countless hours 
to help others with teambuilding workshops and to volunteer efforts 
that serve the youth in his community. As Como Santa, he's beloved by 
children of all ages as he works to support the military community of 
Central Texas during the holiday season. His commitment to investing 
his gifts, talents, and abilities in service of his nation is a deeply 
held creed that speaks to the generosity of a true and devoted leader.
  Many go through life wondering if they've made a difference; Charly 
Skaggs doesn't have that problem. He's led Williamson County to new 
heights and has helped lead many individuals into a brighter future. I 
salute his work, congratulate him on his achievements, and wish him 
nothing but the best for his well-deserved retirement.
