                    BUCKS COUNTY OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the graduates 
from the Bucks County Opportunity Council's Economic Self-Sufficiency 
Program.
  Since 1997, this program has helped families in our community build 
brighter, more stable futures through education and a path to lasting 
economic independence.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize this year's graduates: 
Thais Defalco, Haussine Guengous, Kelsi Klinger, Amanda Leary, Haleigh 
Olie-Muller, Tanya Quiles, Allina Ramirez, Jacklynn Ramsey, Ashley 
Reukauf, and Katlynn Whiteley.
  Mr. Speaker, as Bucks County's leading antipoverty organization, the 
BCOC has worked tirelessly to reduce poverty and to help our neighbors 
achieve true self-sufficiency.
  I thank the BCOC team for changing lives for the better and for 
strengthening our community. I congratulate the graduates. We celebrate 
all that you have achieved and all the many great things to come.
