ATLANTA – Governor Sonny Perdue issued the following statement today regarding Congressman Charlie Norwood:

""Mary and I were very saddened to hear that Congressman Norwood’s medical treatment has not progressed as well as we had hoped.  I visited with Charlie in Washington last week and was very encouraged by his strength and determination.  This could not have been an easy decision for him and Gloria to make."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and Gloria and the entire Norwood family as they return home to Augusta – whose citizens have always been at the center of his heart and the focus of his life of public service.  We join all Georgians in continued prayers for Charlie’s recovery."
