On the recordFebruary 10, 2009

I rise to be in agreement with all of those who have edified the examples of tremendous leadership provided by the NAACP. On a personal note, though, I want to commend my wife, Vera, who is the chairman of our local Westside Branch NAACP, and Mr. Karl Brinson, who is the president. They do outstanding work and have continued to do so. I also want to commend Hilary Shelton for the tremendous job that he has done over the years keeping us informed. And so I commend the NAACP on its 100th anniversary.
