                   HONORING THE LIFE OF JIMMY HAYLEY

  (Mr. WEBER of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the passing of 
lifelong Galveston County resident, Jimmy Hayley.
  A fixture in our community, Jimmy Hayley was the president and CEO of 
the Texas City-La Marque Chamber of Commerce for almost 30 years, where 
he helped foster economic development that brought positive growth to 
our community.
  Jimmy was the model for other chamber leaders in our region. He set 
the bar for how to run the organization helping businesses around the 
area grow and become a positive influence in our community.
  Not only was Jimmy an amazing family man to his wife, two sons, and 
seven grandchildren, he was a great mentor and a wonderful friend to so 
many folks.
  While our community has suffered a great loss in the passing of Jimmy 
Hayley, it is important that we celebrate his life and all the growth 
and progress during his tenure that will continue in his memory.
  My thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy's family and friends during 
this difficult time. God bless them all.
