                     RECOGNIZING PATRICIA BRADSHAW

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy of 
January 9, 2023, the Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from North 
Carolina (Ms. Foxx) for 30 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Patricia Bradshaw for her 
upcoming and well-deserved retirement after her distinguished career 
with the Central Intelligence Agency.
  Patricia began her career with the Central Intelligence Agency in 
1984 as a records clerk, where it quickly became apparent that she 
would have an excellent career with the Agency.
  Working up the ranks within the Office of Security from her time as a 
security clearance investigator and adjudicator, to serving the Agency 
overseas in physical and technical security, she eventually reached the 
pinnacle of the Agency as the Director of the Office of Security.
  Over the course of her career, Patricia exemplified the epitome of 
the American Dream, even without obtaining a college degree. Her story 
is undeniable proof that with hard work and dedication to your craft, 
the limits of your achievements are boundless.
  All Americans should be immensely grateful to Patricia Bradshaw for 
her unwavering service and dedication to our Nation.
  I thank Patricia for her patriotism. On behalf of a grateful Nation, 
we hope she enjoys her well-earned retirement.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
