Mr. President, I am pleased to congratulate my friend, Mr. Walton Gresham, III, from Indianola, MS, who has been awarded the National Propane Gas Association's Bill Hill Award. This is a significant achievement that deserves recognition from the U.S. Senate. This award was established in honor of individuals who have made outstanding and lasting contributions to the LP-Gas industry in the area of government relations. The award honors the memory of the late William C. Hill, who devoted distinguished service to the propane industry and was responsible for easing many of the burdens of price and allocation regulations on both large and small propane marketers throughout the 1970s. I have known Walton Gresham and his family for many years and can attest to the honor and diligence with which they conduct their business. Mr. Gresham possesses a dignity and gentlemanly nature that has allowed him to be a fine representative for his company and his industry throughout the years. Somehow, he always seems to have the time, and the ability, to make important contributions. I congratulate him on this significant achievement.
