Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I rise today in honor of Mr. Thomas ``Buddy'' Morgan,
the general manager of the Montgomery Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board in
Montgomery, AL. Mr. Morgan serves as their representative to the Association of
Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies, AMSA. On May 19, 2030, the members of AMSA
elected Mr. Morgan to be the first president of the association from Alabama.
Mr. Morgan was selected for his exemplary commitment and dedication to a
clean-water community.
AMSA's mission is to effectively maintain a strong leadership role in the
development and implementation of scientifically sound, cost-effective, and
environmentally friendly policies for the protection of the health of the public
and the environment. In May of 2003, AMSA will celebrate 33 years of service to
the clean-water community and the Nation.
Mr. Morgan has worked on many projects on behalf of the city of Montgomery. His
distinguished background includes his service on the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Urban Wet Weather Flows Federal Advisory Committee and the
Sanitary Sewer Overflow Federal Advisory Committee. He also served as chair of
the Catoma Creek Watershed Committee and as a board member of the Alabama Clean
Water Partnership. As a result of his involvement, Montgomery and surrounding
areas of the Great State of Alabama are directly represented in national policy
discussions.
Mr. Morgan was instrumental in creating the Montgomery County Water Festival,
which is now in its third year. As a result of his efforts, the water festival
brings together local students for a day of activities and entertainment that
instills in them a sense of environmental stewardship and awareness.
Alabama is honored to be the home to Mr. Morgan. It is no secret that he is a
man who, day in and day out, goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is to be
commended for his extraordinary efforts on behalf of the Montgomery Water Works
and Sanitary Sewer Board and his election to lead the Association of
Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies. [End Insert]
