                 IN RECOGNITION OF LOVELL JAMES WRIGHT

  (Mr. TERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize James Wright for 
his 10 years of public service in my district staff. Throughout his 
career in our office, James has consistently demonstrated a genuine 
willingness to help others and improve our community. He has undertaken 
a number of projects in my district, such as a program to teach 
financial literacy to young adults, a ``5 percent home ownership'' 
initiative under the section 8 housing program, and an 
``entrepreneurship'' program to create a critical mass in a struggling 
urban setting. He has also taken on a leadership role in an Omaha small 
business initiative in North Omaha.
  All of these actions were directed at providing quality assistance to 
the people of Omaha. His positive attitude, dedication, and optimistic 
outlook are commendable attributes, and we're certainly appreciative of 
his outlook.
  James is an outstanding member of the Omaha community. He loves our 
great city. He contributes to local and national charities and 
organizations as well as participates in the Omaha Community Playhouse. 
He's a dynamic individual with a wealth of knowledge. We thank him for 
his public service.
