                      Thursday, September 18, 2014

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Mr. James W. 
Lintott, a constituent who recently stepped down as chairman of the 
board for the Children's National Medical Center. Mr. Lintott has held 
this post since 2010 and has been a passionate advocate for access to 
quality health care for all children.
  Jim's leadership has helped to advance pediatric health in our 
community and beyond. He has been actively involved with Children's 
National for more than 12 years and has served as a member of a number 
of governance committees and boards. He began his involvement as a 
member of Children's Hospital Foundation Board of Directors in 2002 and 
later served as chairman of that board.
  Jim has been a champion for children by leading philanthropic giving 
initiatives and building awareness in the community of the importance 
of supporting the mission and goals of Children's National. Under his 
leadership, Children's National secured a gift to establish an 
institute for pediatric surgical innovation. This institute is 
advancing pediatric medicine by discovering new treatments and devices 
and implementing innovative approaches to improving children's health.
  Lintott's efforts have helped to advance pediatric medicine and 
research. He is truly a passionate advocate for children's health. I 
would ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating and thanking Jim 
Lintott for his leadership as chairman of the board of Children's 
National Medical Center.
