                   CONGRATULATING DR. JAMES J. LINKSZ

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend and 
congratulate Dr. James J. Linksz on the occasion of his retirement from 
his post as president of the Bucks County Community College in the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
  As its president for the last 20 years, Dr. Linksz has led the 
community college through some of its most ambitious expansions, 
including new investments in technology, the addition of distance-
learning courses, and impressive updates to campus buildings and 
infrastructure.
  William Arthur Wood once said the mediocre teacher tells, the good 
teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, and the great 
teacher inspires. During his time at Bucks County Community College, 
Dr. Linksz has inspired countless students through his leadership and 
dedication to providing men and women of all ages from Bucks County 
with a quality education.
  On behalf of the people in Pennsylvania's Eighth Congressional 
District, I thank Dr. Linksz for his service to the community, and I 
wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.
