                     TRIBUTE TO JOSEPH T. McELVEEN

<bullet> Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Mr. President, today I would like 
to take a moment to recognize and honor Mayor Joseph T. McElveen of 
Sumter, SC. Mayor McElveen served in the U.S. Air Force after 
graduating from the Citadel in 1968 and from the University of South 
Carolina Law School in 1971.
  Mayor McElveen has served on the city council, as a member of the 
S.C. House of Representatives for Sumter County, and now is retiring 
after serving as mayor of Sumter. He has dedicated over 20 years of his 
life to serving the great people of Sumter and has seen prosperity and 
growth come to Sumter County firsthand.
  I want to thank Mayor McElveen for his service and for emulating in 
his life what it means to be a public servant.<bullet>
