                        RECOGNIZING PAUL REDMAN

  (Ms. HOULAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOULAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Paul Redman, the 
visionary leader behind the world-renowned Longwood Gardens, which is a 
fixture of my community in the Philadelphia area.
  Since 2006, Paul's masterful leadership has helped Longwood navigate 
modernization, a global pandemic, and even an escaped convict hiding on 
the grounds. Under his direction, Longwood has grown physically and 
programmatically, becoming a go-to destination for events, employing 
hundreds across southeastern Pennsylvania, and bringing 1.6 million 
people to our community last year.
  I have been proud to honor hosts like the Japanese Ambassador to 
Longwood Gardens, and I am always grateful for Paul's graciousness and 
hospitality.
  This week, for his steadfast dedication to our community and to 
Longwood, Paul is being inducted into the Chester County Economic 
Development Council Hall of Fame. He has made innumerable contributions 
to our region, and this honor is beyond well-deserved.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Paul. I am so proud to have an 
extraordinary leader such as him in our community and at the head of 
our Longwood Gardens.
