                           RECOGNIZING XAVIER WORTHAM

      (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
    address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
      Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the
    extraordinary Oxford community and one of its most outstanding leaders,
    Mr. Xavier Wortham.
      I had the honor of spending a day in Oxford, engaging with local
    nonprofits, educators, clergy, elected officials, and residents. We
    also visited the Masonic Home for Children and held a listening
    session.
      Among the many remarkable people we met, Mr. Wortham's impact stands
    out. For 40 years, he has served as executive director of the Oxford
    Housing Authority, providing families with crucial education, job
    training, and opportunities like college tours at Duke University.

      Mr. Wortham's tireless commitment and love for those he serves in the
    community is indeed a beacon of hope. He embodies what makes Oxford and
    the First Congressional District exceptional.
      Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Wortham for his example and unwavering
    dedication and passion.
