           RECOGNIZING PAKISTANI COMMUNITY LEADER HAFEEZ KHAN

  (Ms. CROCKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CROCKETT. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to commemorate a leader of 
the north Texas Pakistani community, Mr. Hafeez Khan.
  There are over 50,000 Pakistani Americans living in my home of north 
Texas, a prosperous, hardworking community that grows every single 
year.
  Mr. Kahn has used his position as a prominent business leader in 
Dallas to advocate for the Pakistani-American community, both in Texas 
and across the country.
  When Mr. Kahn heard that part of the beautiful Pakistani Embassy here 
in Washington was set to be sold, he stepped up to purchase the 
property and preserve its historical and cultural significance. For the 
Pakistani-American community, the Embassy building here in our Nation's 
Capital is more than just a piece of property. It has served as a place 
of welcome, community, and support for this vibrant, thriving immigrant 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, thanks to Mr. Kahn's philanthropy, this setting will 
serve as a landmark of Pakistani culture for years to come.
