                        Thursday, June 26, 2025

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a dear 
friend, Marshall Brachman, on the occasion of his 75th birthday on July 
6, 2025.
  Marshall has long exemplified the best of civic engagement and public 
service. His remarkable career spans more than four decades, beginning 
in 1978, and is defined not only by professional success but by a 
deeply rooted commitment to his community, his faith, and the 
betterment of this country.
  Outside of his accomplished professional life, Marshall has devoted 
himself to civic and philanthropic causes. At just 23 years old, he 
became the youngest treasurer of a Jewish Community Center in the 
United States when he assumed that role at the Fort Worth Jewish 
Community Center. His leadership and vision led him to soon become 
president of the Center as well as Treasurer of the Fort Worth Art 
Museum, now The Modern, setting a high bar for service at a young age.
  Marshall's dedication to community did not stop there. He has been a 
tireless advocate and supporter of Jewish causes both locally and 
nationally, particularly through his involvement with the United Jewish 
Appeal, the Young Leadership Cabinet, the Texas-Israel Exchange, and 
AIPAC. His impact in these organizations is a testament to his belief 
in the power of service, charity, and enduring commitment to one's 
values.
  Marshall is also a trusted voice in public policy and government 
affairs. He has helped countless Members of Congress understand complex 
issues, including providing historical context, and make informed 
decisions. His insight and integrity have made him a valuable advisor 
to many on both sides of the aisle. And to me personally, Marshall has 
been a friend, a sounding board, and an unwavering supporter--qualities 
for which I am sincerely grateful.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Marshall 
Brachman for his enduring contributions to civic life, his generous 
spirit, and his invaluable friendship. I extend my warmest wishes to 
him and his family on this milestone birthday and thank him for the 
positive impact he continues to make in so many lives.
  Happy 75th to Marshall.
