“I do want to thank my other colleague, the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Jenkins), for sponsoring this bill, introducing this legislation, which, as has been said, does designate the Federal courthouse there in Greeneville, Tennessee, as the James H. Quillen United States Courthouse. I had an opportunity recently to go to Greeneville. I used to live there as a child myself. I do not have a lot of recollection about it, but I was able to go about the town and to not only visit the current courthouse there but also to see the newly constructed courthouse in progress. It certainly is going to be a wonderful facility there, and I know will be well used; and in that it carries Congress Quillen's name, I think it certainly has a distinctive honor. There are a lot of things up in east Tennessee already named for Congressman Quillen, the medical school and highways and things, and certainly all well-deserved.”
