           RECOGNIZING JOHN WOOD'S LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, it is very fitting that 
John Wood receive a lifetime achievement award from the Career Colleges 
& Schools of Texas.
  He and his wife, Victoria, have worked tirelessly to make the Ocean 
Corporation a place where students gain the skills they need to lead 
successful and productive lives in a variety of occupations that 
benefit not only the student but also the State of Texas and, indeed, 
the country and the world.
  Their focus is always on ensuring that the programs are of the 
highest quality and that students are career-ready when they leave 
their various programs.
  Having visited the Ocean Corporation myself, I can testify to the 
dedication of the faculty and staff that John and Victoria have 
assembled. In addition to their dedication to high-quality programs, 
they have maintained their enthusiasm for the value of career education 
and the choices that it presents.
  John is deserving of the award, and I commend all who are responsible 
for recognizing him and his true lifetime achievement.
